Via the Between the Lines forum, APBA Game Company CEO John Herson has announced on December 28 that the APBA 2011 baseball cards are shipping: “We started shipping the 2011 baseball cards today. Because of a system issue that caused a loss of information we will not be able to…
Fellow APBA fans, With the holidays almost upon us, this will most likely be the last post before the new year and certainly before Christmas Day. If I’m lucky to get some time alone, I might post something next week. Who knows? It’s been a year of transition for the…
