1979 Topps Winner Plus a Tip of the Hat to PTOWN TOM

After 3 spins in the randomizer, we have a winner...
Crappy scan but the winner is Nachos Grande!  I believe I have your addy but shoot me a note if you would please.

On to another topic....2013 Blog of the Year voting is open and voting has been brisk.  Voting will remain open until the 19th.

Now a tip of the hat to my good blogging buddy Tom from PTown.  I have a large post from Tom still left to document but for today I'd like to share a PWE.  A single card PWE-one of my 1969 Topps Set Needs!  Thanks a ton Tom!  Tom's note gave me an idea.  I'm dangerous with an idea.
1 Card is definitely better than no Cards!  Thanks Tom for the 69 and the idea which has given me an idea!   Mooooooooo hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Let the herd trimming begin-1979 Topps

I spoke prior to the new year about the importance of trimming the herd.  Today that process begins.  You will see below a group of 283 1979 Topps Cards.  Some dupes. Some condition sensitive but free nonetheless.  Want a brick of 1979 Topps Baseball?  Then leave a comment between now and 5PM Central time tomorrow.  Randomizer will select a winner. Good Luck!

COMC Binge yields PC Whale

I made a small splash on COMC over the holidays.  Picked up a few for my 69 set and more importantly a gem for my Willinghammer PC!

 A pile for the binder!
 Storming Norman! Al Oliver Rookie!
A couple of Leaders cards!
 Couldn't pass up Bravos Autos for less than a buck!

Been looking for a Josh Willingham whale for a while.  I've bid on some and lost but finally found this one in the wild for a fair price on COMC!
 If you have other Willingham 1/1's laying around feel free to send them my way lol.


Don't forget today is the 5PM deadline to get your submissions in for 2013 Best Blog Poll.  I will try and have the poll up tomorrow!
