Draft update, Free card Friday, winners etc.

Sorry for the short script. Jammed for time today.  I will be delaying Free Card Friday until sunday evening.

Here are your winners for last week:

The FCF winner is Brad's blog!!  Pretty sure I have your addy. Still might want to send it to me if you have a sec.

The winner of the Vidro was also going to receive a free entry into my next card draft but due to lack of interest I have cancelled for now.  I will throw in some extra goodies for that winner and if I ever have another card draft I will get you in a free entry.

The winner is.....BO who guessed 65. The correct # is 66/100.

Also giving a prize to P town Tom who had a magnificent theory and almost nailed it!! Good job to all three winners.

See you Sunday!

What's on your christmas list?

Thursday is Thanksgiving. After that we will be full onto the Christmas season.  A year goes by so fast!  I'm curious as to what you're hoping your Santa Claus drops into your stocking this year.

I have personally started chasing all copies of one card. 199 of them exist. I, being crazy as I am, have decided to chase as many copies as I can get.

The card is of a now retired NBA journeyman Mike Wilks.  If you see any copies of this card snag them and I will glady trade for them. I'm sure many are still in un opened product. Some are probably sitting in card shop 3/$10 GU bins. I may never find them but I will try.

What's on your Christmas List?

And don't forget to register for Free Card Friday!!!

"Powerized"

Pretty stoked today!  The coolest piece of memorabilia in my collection arrived via UPS today.

I

Is it a Popeye shirt?  No of course not! Is that a Babe Ruth bat in my grasp? Ted Williams?  Absolutely not. Instead this Louisville Slugger P89 Powerized Splinter belonged to my favorite retired baseball player-GARY REDUS!  Been watching this one on ebay for a minute and I finally struck!  Good day!

COMC-Post 3-The Rest-Some Vintage and Hometown Flavor

The last few cards from my COMC haul all share different reasons that I picked them up.

 Mike Wilks is a guy that lives nearby. I have a love affair with this card. They are #'d to 199. If you buy chance have another one please let me take them off your hands.

 Don't know much about Brian Smith. I believe he made it to the Show.  I know he is one of my coworkers son in law.  She is one of the sweetest ladies I know, so I picked these up for her.

 I'm a wrestling fan. Big Cat Ernie Ladd is a Legend. His in ring work was a little before my time but this card was too sweet to pass on.

Two words- SCIPIO SPINKS
One word-Rookie
Nuff Said

COMC Haul-Post 2-The Josh Willingham Explosion
