It's going on from now till January 13th. You have a week to leave a comment on this post from Captain Kirk, with an Andruw Jones-autographed 1996 World Series ball at stake! Check it out!

Contest Going On!

GCRL of blog garvey cey russell lopes is giving away a 1952 Topps card in his Steve Garvey birthday contest! Check it out!

And the Winner is...

I had a nice number of entries for the contest, and, as promised, am here to announce a winner. I had four late entrants, giving me a healthy total of 21. We had some frequent posters and pluggers, but as we all know, many posts does not a winner make.

So who won? Let's turn to the almighty randomizer...random.com!! I have given one entry for each comment, daily comment, and plug. The top three people (not just names, I want to spread the cards around :) will receive, in order, the Bowman packs, Topps packs, and inserts.



Here we go!

 I randomized the list once, 'cause I wanted to spare anyone the sorrow of seeing his name first on the non-counting spins.

Here are the results:

And Wilson, Superduperman, and Stealing Home are the top three! Congratulations, in order, to the proprietors of Tenets of Wilson, Fantastic Catch, and All Trade Bait, All the Time. Guys, please send me an email with your mailing address. (My contact info is in my Blogger profile.)

Thanks to all who played! I feel like there should be confetti falling and music playing...and I'll see you next time!

Last Day to Enter Contest!

I mean, it's not that hard. You have 4 more hours and change to comment here. I'll announce a winner and have some new news to share tomorrow!

Contest!

Not here, thisaway ---> http://sanjosefuji.blogspot.com

Check it out! Prize will be a "smorgasboard of cardboard with players from your favorite team"!

Sayonara :-)

Sweet Contest Winnings from JBF!

Blogger Wes, aka Jaybarkerfan, of Jay Barker Fan's Junk is an intriguing figure. Besides being located to close where I live, implicitly meaning that any criticism of him from here could mean imminent revenge. Criticism, you say; Why would this sort of thing be warranted? Simply put, Wes is a fan of the beloved (and hated) Alabama Crimson Tide, and I a fan of the equally beloved and hated Auburn Tigers. You can guess who hates whom. Much has been said about the rivalry between the two teams (in football, I mean), but I will forgo launching into that, and simply refer you to the Wiki article and a local author/authority on the games.

Why else is Wes intriguing? Well, he has been lauded as the "most generous blogger," by Fuji, as well as "The Biffer" (By Thorzul)! So who is this masked man?

Well...both.

I received a prize package from JBF a month-ish ago, then received another. Then got a free card request fulfilled. I would say that paints Wes as a very generous guy. Did I mention he does weekly contests?

As to the "Biffer" moniker, well, that's true too. The Evidence:

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:

Exhibit C:

Exhibit D:

Exhibit E:

Whew! That's more light blue than you'll get in a trip to the infant boy's section of Babies "R" Us!

Onto the rest of the (shiny) goodness...

For the life of me, I can't tell you why these scan so well. The purple Perez was one I especially liked.

The rest was stacked with Braves, both current and past players. The above were some of my favorites!

Onto the *actual* contest cards-did I mention Wes does this every week? There were also some sweet M's relics. Though awesome, I would be willing to swap for, say, a Chipper Jones or Dale Murphy relic. Either way, I declare Wes deserving of both names-thanks so much for the cards!

Contest Winnings from the Common (Card) Man!

The Common (Card) Man is a blog run and maintained by Tony, aka Milwaukee Southpaw, who at the beginning of the season started a year-long contest. It involved predicting things, much like an 8-ball predicts the future. In short, my 8-ball won out, and I received some Braves goodies! The sweet Kelly Johnson Auto above is from 2007 Upper Deck S2.

I have a theory, which is that cards with such intriguing, new things as manu-leather-nameplates take about a year to find their way out of retail and hobby boxes into various trade and contest winnings packages. The card above is from 2011 Topps S2.

There was a nice assortment of late 90s-early 2000s Chippers too. The Finest Gamers (upper right) does a nice job of summarizing: "Chipper inspires his teammates with a 'go-get-'em' attitude." 'Nuff said.

1999 Topps Stadium Club and 1999 Pacific Prism...

And a 2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces Black Border!

Finally, rounding it out were two massive Dale Murphy cards from 1983 Donruss and 1984 Donruss. Cool stuff-I especially appreciated the equally oversized toploader! Thanks so much, Tony!!!

Not to squeeze another unrelated card into this post, but I want to show off a nice refractor from Topher, over at blog Crackin' Wax! Topher's been a great guy in the blogging community with his "Take My Cards" program, so magna laus to him for that. (That's great praise for the non-Latinists :-) Thanks Topher!

Chunter, out!

Another Chippa for the collection!

I just realized how terrible I am at attaching labels to stuff. Trying to reverse that trend-a lot of bloggers have labels serve as little punchlines to a post-I like that.

Recently Cory from Rectangle Men had a contest for a very shiny Willie Mays card. I was lucky enough to snag the card and Cory even threw in a little bonus:

Now, I realize it's really weird to win a contest and be almost more excited with the bonus card than with the prize, but hey, that's how we do it in Dixie.

I don't like grits, though. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Contest from Andrew and New Baseball Have Lists Up!

Alrighty, first things first:

New Have Lists up. A Chipper and Dale Murphy collector, those are my collecting focus, though I will never turn down Braves cards or Bo Jacksons' that I do not have. So. That's that.

Also, check out Andrew's contest!
