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 […]
…my collection gave to me Four Mini Cards, Three Jersey Relics, Two 56’s, And a Cardboard Zeppelin!
I know I’m a little behind the times on this, but I’d been meaning to do it for a while now. Getting that Craig Swan autograph in the mail a few days ago just reminded me of it. In case you missed it, a week or 2 ago, Nachos Grande posted a questionnaire for all […]
In honor of today being 11/11/11, I thought I’d show 11 guys who have sported number 11 for throughout the years for the Mets. Ed Bouchee was the original #11 for the Metropolitains. He only ended up lasting half the season, though. The remained of 1962, number 11 was worn by this guy. Classic line […]
For those of you out there with an elephant’s memory, you know what I’m talking about. For those of you with a regular, people sized memory, let me remind you. A few days ago, I had sent yet another in a long line of emails concerning that redemption and today I got a reply saying […]

I really don’t […]

Being a graphic designer who deals with fonts all […]
I’m sure no one who reads this remembers (or particularly cares), but waaaaaay back in July of last year I busted a box of 2010 Ginter as part of Gint-A-Cuffs II and was fortunate enough to pull a Dale Davis autograph redemption card. According to the email chain, I sat down and typed in the […]
4 Days. The starting second sacker for the 1986 Mets, position #4 on your scorecard, was former Mets managerial hopeful, Wally Backman. Davey Johnson was apparently a big fan of the platoon, and 2nd base was another of those positions that he regularly switched out players. Backman started 92 games at second in 1986. He […]
7 more days until the season is officially underway. Starting in left field for the ’86 squad, position #7 on your scorecard, was George Foster. Although Foster was the Opening Day left fielder in 1986, he started less than half the games for the Mets who released him in August. Being that ’86 was the […]
