| | | How Self-Appointed Experts Rule the Autograph Industry BY JAKE ROSSEN  At his cluttered kitchen table in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, surrounded by hundreds of trading cards and discarded foil wrappers, Steve Sterpka finally found what he'd been looking for. The CVS Pharmacy manager had sifted through 15 boxes of Upper Deck baseball cards, hoping to encounter one of the coupons for rare collectibles the company randomly inserted to entice customers.

When the old girl feels sharp, she'll whip up a hot homemade meal with all the trimmings. When she's having one of her "spells," you might sit down to a plate of cold, raw potato and undercooked chicken. Everyone at the table will nod politely and not mention the slip-up. She once was a whiz in the k... more >> | | | | | | | | DC9 At Night >From local to national offerings, it's been a pretty good week for show announcements.
