Post 500-You might want to check this out
So post 500 has arrived. I have been mulling something crazy that I could do with this slight landmark of a post. As with many things I do-I wanted it to be crazy! Consider this post 500 an homage to many things.
Homage 1- Thank you to all that have read and followed this blog...and to all the haters. Oh wait, there really haven't been any haters so THANK YOU!
Homage 2-I really enjoyed the World Cup and plan to pay it homage in a cardboard way.
Homage 3- The premise is an homage to another blogger's annual program which I have sneaked off of before-Trade Me Anything by Thorzul. A simply great concept that I love. Well done sir!
So here we are:
WELCOME TO THE FIRST ANNUAL JBFJ WORLD CUP OF CARDBOARD TRADING
Here is the dealio. I'm going to introduce 32 pieces of cardboard in groups of 4. I'm looking for a trader for each card so 32 unique traders in all. Maybe you can find something you really want or maybe just something that you need. Perhaps it's only for tradebait. Either way jump in.
The cards are put into groups of 4. So if you choose to trade for a card in group A then you are playing in Group A. I will accept trades of "anything" for each card. When all trades have been received I will select a winner of best trade for each group. The winner for each group will move onto the knock out round which I will put up for voting. We will vote until we have one winner of who you all think provided me with the best trade. I won't be busting trades and revealing until September 3rd when I'm on vacation so that gives you plenty of time to get something together. I will however get your card out as soon as you claim what you want and I have your address.
The top 3 finishers will receive something from me. Most importantly though is to play to win.
The winner will receive this illustrious World Cup of Cardboard Trading Trophy
You will also receive in insane package from me designed to your card collecting needs. If you have any doubt of my insanity just ask P Town Tom from Waiting til Next Year. Others can vouch for my insanity.
So what do you trade me? Well that's up to you! I pick the winners for each group so you want to trade me stuff which I like: Mascot Cards, Arizona Cardinals, Alabama Alumni, Josh Willingham, Gary Redus, Atlanta Braves, Montreal Expos, Pre 1976 Vintage, Retired player bat and autograph cards for baseball. Vintage basketball and football cards. Dallas Mavericks.
Maybe you want to go a different way? No limit on how much or how little you send. I wont turn away 1 card trades but if you want to win you gots to get out of the first round. Any questions just ask. First come in the comments is first served. Please remember I won't be breaking till the week of September 3rd. Here's the goodies

Eclecticicity
Today friends we have a lesson in eclecticity. I'm not sure that is a word but maybe more a state of mind. A state of mind that is achieved when you receive a package from SpastikMoos. I sent a Shyrone Stith card that Tim needed and in exchange...BAM
Who shot JR?
Ponies
Ren and Stimpy
Baseball delight
Graded Goody
Willinghammer
He looks tough
Hoop it up!
Chrome Pigskin
Big Apple #'d Gunslingers
My favorite of the package is this two colored surprise.
I will keep my eyes open for more Stiths, Smarts, and Seneca's

Johnnys Trading Spot Swings Back
I had recently performed a Braves drop on John from Johnnys Trading Spot. This week he swung back-pretty mightily.
Vintage insanity
It just keeps coming
And even more
Graded Gems from the year before my birth
and of my birth
It was quite a pile on these
Time has added this fantastic Stache
John-Look for a return shot from me in the near future.
