Those of you who have been reading this blog regularly for a while are probably aware that there has been an on-going saga with me and the Dale Davis autograph redemption that I pulled from a box of 2010 Allen & Ginter about a year and a half ago. Well, a month ago to the […]
Once upon a time, long ago, The Night Owl held a fun little contest where he cobbled together a ransom note-style message made up of different letters from various card fronts and your job was to match the letters with the card it was pulled from. Being a graphic designer who deals with fonts all […]
Man, even though the Mets didn’t win yesterday, it felt damn good to sit down and drink a beer and watch baseball on TV. Of course it felt a little bit better since they didn’t technically lose, either. I know it’s an early spring training game and it doesn’t mean anything, but it was pretty […]
A long, long time ago, the fellers over at Community Gum (who by the way have one of my favorite blog headers ever) had held a Pack Lottery Contest that I had joined in on. Now, I must admit that I was a little confused as to how exactly the contest worked. Or I guess […]
I don’t know if you’ve seen, but Thorzul over at Thorzul Will Rule held his annual Nightmares on Cardboard contest, and lo and behold I won for the second year in a row. I was a little skeptical as to my chances this year. I thought the whole idea of the Werewolf Sportflics card was […]

Like a bunch of other folks in this little card collecting community of ours, I recently was the recipient of some major league generosity bestowed upon me by Dave from Tribe Cards as part of his Last Great Tribecards Giveaway. Of course when I say recently I mean about a month ago. What can I […]
A while ago, Cards on Cards held a little College Bowl Pick ‘Em contest. I had the dubious distinction of being the worst out of everyone when it came to picking the winners of College Bowl games. Madding was good enough to send some prizes my way as a way of enabling my poor football […]
Well, I guess this really isn’t a trade since I didn’t give anything up for them, but they’re a bunch of cards that found their way into my hands. And they came from my Dad of all people. My parents came to visit the other day and my Dad just hands me this stack of […]
