Baseball Cards
Q: My son has purchased older baseball cards for more than 30 years and has quite a collection. We need a reliable price guide so that we have a better idea of current values. Can you help us? -- Mark, Santa Fe, N.M. A: There are several excellent price guides available, but my personal pick is the “Standard Catalog of Vintage Baseball Cards” edited by Tom Bartsch, and published by Krause Books. This guide covers sets printed between 1863 and 1980 including even minor-league players. There are descriptions introducing the various sets, full, updated checklists and values for three condition grades. Best of all, it is easy to use, and the prices seem to reflect the current marketplace. It is $29.99 and well worth it. ••• Q: While cleaning out my mom’s storage area, I found a shoebox full of older valentines, mostly from the 1930s and ‘40s. Is there someone I can contact about them? -- Jane, Hope, N.J. A: Nancy Rosen is president of the National Valentine Collectors Association, P.O. Box 647, Franklin Lakes, NJ 07417; nancyrosen@aol.com; and info@valentinecollectors.com. There are several excellent price guides that also might be helpful: “One Hundred Years of Valentines” by Katherine Kreider, and “Valentines -- A Collector’s Guide 1700-1950” by Barbara Johnson. Both are available at amazon.com. ••8 Q: I have a Lone Ranger comic book, Vol. 1, No. 139, issued in May 1961 by Dell. Is there any value to it? -- Ted, Casper, Wyo. A: According to the “Comic Book Checklist & Price Guide”

Publisher's Corner by Sean Athey Hello Everyone! Christmas has quickly passed, once again, and the New Year is coming fast. The time for those resolutions is at hand. You remember New Year's resolutions... those promises you made to yourself last year at this time, followed by the January of commitment, the February of reality... and the March of "what was my resolution again?" Whatever you have resolved to do this next year to make a change or better yourself in some way, you have my best wishes for success. I will be doing the "get in shape" general all-purpose resolution myself. Not sure what it will entail just yet, but the holidays and cold weather have taken their toll on me this year. I always see it coming too... staring right at it every fall... promising myself that this year the hibernation reflex would be kept in check... yep, sure, right... three months later and 15 extra pounds is the reality. So, my day after Christmas dinner and endless treats weight comes in at 244... and with shoes on I am around 6'3". Not a bad weight if it were mostly muscle... but I am suspicious it is something other than muscle. In the fall, around the beginning of October, I weighed 229, so my options are to give in to the evil
hibernation reflex and curl up like a bear for a couple months, or get active and healthier.... well, the bear option was a nice idea, but reality wins again, so check back here or on our website and I'll give you (what I hope to be) updates on my progress, and to all the 2014 "Resolvers" - good luck! 2013 - Almost Gone Lynette and I would like to say thank you to everyone involved in Tidbits this past year... from our readers, to our advertisers and sponsors, and our friends and family. We had a great time meeting many new people this past year and we look forward to a busy, but fun, 2014 as we continue to do our best to bring you our free, family-friendly and fun weekly publication. Next Week I dug up a picture of me and my first car I had when I was 14, a 1966 Mercury Parklane. I will tell you a little about it next week. Wait until you see the picture... you would never think that skinny little kid was ever going to weight 244... plus I was sporting some very choice 70ish "styles". Anyway... have a great week, stay warm, stay safe and have a most Happy New Year!! ... and thank you for reading Tidbits. sean@LakeAreaTidbits.com

by Maggie Thompson, Brent Frankenhoff and Peter Bickford (Krause Books), your comic book could be worth as much $45. I say “could” because condition is extremely important when determining the value of comics. If your comic shows any wear, it would be worth a fraction of that amount. ••• Q: I have a piece of campaign sheet music, “A March to Eisenhower,” a souvenir of the 1953 inauguration. Do you have any idea of how much it is worth? -- Laura, Pasco, Wash. A: I contacted several sheet-music collectors, who seem to agree that your “A March to Eisenhower” is worth in the $20-$30 range, depending, of course, on condition.

• It might be hard to get motivated to exercise with winter’s shorter days and lower temperatures. Exercise is important to your health, so get it any way you can. Did you know that a half-hour snowball fight can burn 100 calories? Get out there and enjoy the winter weather! -- JoAnn • If you face frequent snow in your area, invest in a pair of running shoes that are designed for trail running. They have deeper cleats for better traction. Some are even waterproof. This will encourage you to run when it’s been snowing! • “To help your sneakers dry faster, remove the laces and sock liner and hang separately. Stuff them with newspaper to draw out moisture. Hang them to dry on a sturdy hook or line, but not too close to a heater, as it’s possible to break down the support materials that way.” -- E.D. in Minnesota • “If you are outdoors on freezing days, you know to dress in layers. When you exercise outside, you do that too, but be prepared to strip off a layer if you get overheated. I have a carabiner clip on my waistband, and I can clip my outer light jacket to it, or even my fleece through a buttonhole.” -- P.S. in Virginia • “Here’s a tip about sledding in a pinch: A laundry basket can make a fine sled for a small, sturdy kid -- especially if you are blessed with surprise snow! If you attach a rope or belt to one side of the basket, it’s easy to pull the kids along.” -- M.B. in Missouri

Creamy Scrambled Eggs for a Crowd
Short-order cooks seem to have a way of turning out delicious, creamy eggs cooked to everyone’s liking. It’s not difficult, but it does require good technique. Here’s how: Cook the eggs slowly, gently pushing them into the center of the skillet as they cook, which makes soft, creamy curds. 14 large eggs 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 3 tablespoons butter or margarine 2 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes 1. In large bowl, with wire whisk, beat eggs and pepper until well blended. In nonstick 12-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat, add eggs. With heat-safe rubber spatula, gently push egg mixture into center as it begins to set to form soft curds, about 3 minutes. 2. When eggs are partially cooked, top with cream cheese. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until eggs have thickened and no visible liquid egg remains. Transfer to warm platter. Makes 8 maindish servings.

Can Outdoor Furniture Outlast Winter? Q: My brother purchased new outdoor furniture for his deck this summer, some nice cedar chairs and end tables. But I’m astounded that he hasn’t yet taken in or covered his new furniture yet. Even though we haven’t had snow yet, the temperature change alone must be taking its toll. Should I warn him about leaving his expensive furniture outside in winter? -- Carey in Chicopee, Mass. A: I think warning him is a bit strong, particularly in this case. Cedar furniture designed for outdoor use can be very resilient in most weather, something the dealer may have told your brother when he purchased the set. You can bring it up as part of a conversation about the furniture by asking if it’s all-weather, and letting your brother tell you all about it. Considering how much quality cedar furniture costs, he’s likely pretty proud of his purchase. Cedar outdoor furniture is desirable to many people. It’s a durable wood, doesn’t easily warp or rot, and resists insects. Unfinished cedar furniture starts out as a natural reddish color, which over time fades to gray as wind and weather season the wood. Owners who prefer the warmer reddish color can apply a wood sealer, or enhance the color using a wood stain. Paint or finishing oils aren’t typically used with cedar furniture, since they can trap moisture, encouraging rot. Your brother can clean his furniture a few times a year with soap and water, and should avoid using a pressure
washer or harsh solvents. If he’s concerned about temperature extremes or ice and snow building up on the furniture, he can cover it or store it during the winter. Otherwise, don’t worry about warning him about his outdoor furniture care choices. It’s his property, after all, and he can leave the cedar furniture out if he wishes. HOME TIP: Clean mildew from unfinished wood furniture using a very mild bleach and water solution; rinse well, and make sure the wood dries completely. Send your questions or home tips to ask@thisisahammer.com. My e-book, “101 Best Home Tips,” is available to download on Kindle! Pick it up it today for just 99 cents. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

• On Jan. 9, 1776, writer Thomas Paine publishes his pamphlet “Common Sense,” setting forth his arguments in favor of American independence. Originally published anonymously, “Common Sense” is considered one of the most influential pamphlets in American history. • On Jan. 8, 1916, Rembrandt Bugatti, a sculptor and younger brother of Italian auto designer and manufacturer Ettore Bugatti, commits suicide at the age of 31. Bugatti’s sculpture of a dancing elephant was featured as a hood ornament on a 1920s Bugatti Royale auto. • On Jan. 12, 1926, the two-man radio comedy series “Sam ‘n’ Henry” (later named “Amos ‘n’ Andy”) debuts in Chicago. Freeman Gosden and Charles Carrell, both white, played characters who were two black men from the Deep South. Over the next 22 years, the show answers on page 9
would become the highest-rated comedy in radio history. • On Jan. 11, 1935, American aviator Amelia Earhart departs Wheeler Field in Honolulu on a solo flight to North America. Hawaiian commercial interests offered a $10,000 award to whoever accomplished the flight first. The next day, after traveling 2,400 miles in 18 hours, Earhart safely landed at Oakland Airport in Oakland, Calif. • On Jan. 7, 1959, just six days after the fall of the Fulgencio Batista dictatorship in Cuba, U.S. officials recognize the new provisional government of the island nation. Despite fears that Fidel Castro might have communist leanings, the U.S. government believed that it could work with the new regime. • On Jan. 10, 1961, Dashiell Hammett, author of “The Maltese Falcon,” dies. Hammett left school at age 13, eventually landing at Pinkerton’s detective agency. He worked as a detective for eight years and turned his experiences into “hard-boiled” crime fiction. • On Jan. 6, 1975, a crowd of 2,000plus lines up outside Boston Garden to buy tickets to the rock band Led Zeppelin. Someone pried open the Garden’s locked doors around midnight, and soon hundreds of beerdrinking, bottle-throwing Led Zeppelin fans had the run of the arena. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.

Tidbits® of The Lake Area - www.LakeAreaTidbits.com - For Advertising Call 605-541-0110 • It was noted wit Ambrose Bierce who defined an egotist as “a person more interested in himself than in me.” • If you could go back in time and sample a beer from the 1700s, you would find it to be significantly stronger than similar libations that are served today. The higher alcohol content helped the brew survive the long voyage from England to colonial India. • Those who study such things say that roughly half of American women remove hair from their bikini area. Perhaps unsurprisingly, as women age, they become by Samantha Weaver less likely to keep up the shaving or waxing, with only 19 percent of women aged 50-plus doing so. In Brazil, though, the practice is far more widespread; there, 65 percent of women in the 50plus age group reported bikini hair removal. • The average horse will produce 10 gallons of saliva every day. • Historians claim that President John Quincy Adams kept a pet alligator in a White House bathroom. He reportedly was amused when unsuspecting guests had to make a trip to the loo. • I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve never heard the word “pilgarlic” -- it’s not a term you hear every day. Its literal meaning is “peeled garlic,” but colloquially it was once used to describe a bald-headed person. • In the U.S. in 1900, imported perfume was taxed at a higher rate than imported opium. • If you are planning a trip to Hawaii, you might want to go to the Sea Life Park on Oahu. There you can see a rare creature: the wolphin. This cross between a killer whale and a bottle-nosed dolphin also reportedly exists in the wild, but I imagine they’re a bit more difficult to find. © 2013 King Features Synd., Inc.
