PWE Bombs are so last month. This is my next big thing.

I had a lot of fun with PWE bombs.  The Marathon tragedy made a lot of us uneasy about using the term.  I will still send out PWE's but I'm moving on to something a little more grand.


It's a move that I'm trademarking as "T.O.B"  Josh D should be currently digging out from underneath the first "ton of bricks" that I sent out.  It's just a way of me focusing a little while on one trader and then unleashing the whole kitchen sink on them all at once.  Good clean fun.

The next victim may be known to be billed from PTown.  Beware.  You could be next.

Opportunity 20 belongs to...

We have nineteen seats filled at the table.  They belong to:
PTown Tom
Steve D
Brian Conrad
Lost Collector
Matt Pederson
Chris Reed
GCRL
Wilson
Dimwit
Josh D
Jafronius
Backstop Cards
Spiegel
Fuji
Big Bern 28
Nick
Richard Nebe Jr.
Play at the Plate

It's time to fill #20

Congratulations to BO!!

Only one more valuable seat remains in my Clearinghouse Sweepstakes Giveaway Contest....Or does it.

I'm going to allow for two more entrants.  The first will be chosen by the wicked randomizer.  Slot two will be chosen by me.  The criteria will be solely my decision based off of your entry for this last slot.  Tell me why you would like to be in!  I will pick the most logical and empassioned plea.  So Jump in if you want one of the last two slots in what I promise should be a lot of FUN.

Card Show!

I made out to a show today.  No, not the National.  A small 30 table show.  I really only did business at about four of the tables.  Just thought I'd share some this afternoon:
 I just couldn't turn my back on this beautiful 8x10. 
 Decided it was finally time to put some cash into my 1969 set.
 Hello Mick!
 Hof'ers everywhere you turn
 What a great teacher!
 Sweetness
 Hate I never got to see Killebrew play.
 Giant Gaylord
 I've been on a Marichal kick as of late
 Had to haggle but got the ROLLIE RC!
 Also had to haggle but got this condition sensitive Say Hey for a bargain!
 I'm always on the look out for my Dodger brethren.  Who wants dibs?

 A sweet one of Dewitt

Hit me up Dodger peeps, I'm here for you.
