Shadow Shots

Been a while since we've done one these.

I see a cartoon dog, one of those mean junkyard dogs and he's growling.

Spiderman.

The Mad bear makes another appearance.

Too lean to be another bear, so how about a sprinter just before the gun starts the race.


Have a great night!

Just when you thought you had everything from 1990

Hmm....1990 and Topps. I thought I had it all, but nope. More in a minute.


I still need addresses for Once a Cub, Wilson, and Matt Pederson.


Back to 1990 Topps. Do you have it all? I thought I did until fellow OCTer Bob D'Angelo sent me this.

The back view.

The first pages inside were Dodgers. They throw some trivia out and then you're supposed to get the correct sticker and place it in the book/album.

Of course I'll show the Braves pages.

There is even trivia for the logos and equipment.

Lots and lots of pages of stickers. As a team collector, this posed a problem.

A nice cheat sheet too.

To remedy the team problem, I took a scrapbook page cutter and cut the stickers down the horizontal lines, then individually as needed. I also grabbed my PC guys too. Many of you team collectors will wind up with "your" stickers eventually.


Have a great weekend!

A whole bunch of Thanks!

I'm back in Valdosta after a terrible trip back home. I want to thank everyone who participated in the the BFG. I also have a slew of thanks to hand out to those who've sent me cards over the last two weeks. I scanned a couple of lots before I left the rest I am acknowledging here....right now. Thanks go out to Len and Kevin from OCT. Thanks go to fellow bloggers Tom T for a stack of Braves, Jim (GCRL) for some Braves, Bert from Swing & a Pop up, Kenny (ZZ), and the few I scanned from Bob D (OCT) showing those tomorrow and tonight's feature from Nick (dimebox).

The first time I seen these was a few weeks ago when Nick posted them. Now I need to find the rest of the set.

All Braves needs.

A couple for the PC and no idea on the Gwosdz.

These make the PC. I do have a QUESTION though. With the brown back Hostess, why is it brown?

2 more for the PC and 2 more needed Braves. Thanks Nick, and again to all of those mentioned above for the cards as well as those in the BFG.


I do still need addresses for: John Sharp, RAZ, Once a Cub, and Wilson. I also need Matt Pederson's addy. Hit me up guys.

The swap outs are......

Bo chimed in on #28, which is the stack of CUBS media guides that I posted a few weeks ago.



Once a Cub grabbed #9 which is

stack 2 of the vintage girlie cards.



Jon snagged #4

which was the girlie stack #1.


Julie pops in for #14

Bam Bam! Winfield RC.






Here is the list of all prizes:

What didn't go:

#12: another stack of Kellogg's

#22: another 70's vintage stack with a 1960 Alou

#24: a Trout stack.

I hope y'all had fun.


Before I package the prizes up, if any of y'all are working a swap of prizes with each other, lmk I can send them directly and save y'all shipping. I am heading home for a week and plan on mailing the prizes out after I get back. so lmk.

This is the BFG BONUS round

The first 4 contestants to comment below with 1 of the remaining unused numbers will get to swap out their prize for that of the new number. Only 1 person per number and 1 choice per person. There are 5 good prizes in those numbers and 2 that are so so.

The remaining numbers are: 4, 9, 12, 14, 22, 26, 28.

jafronius picks 15, another of my favorite numbers

Matt if you're awake time to take a hack at the BFG,

Mark decides on #18

That's okay.  I'll pick another number.  Can I go with the number closest to #19 that hasn't been taken?  If it's a tie, lower is better (ex. 18>20).

Thanks,

Fuji

18 it is, now what is it? Well remember those Media guides I showed awhile back (where you had a few of them). Well #18 is all of the "non" Cubs guides excluding the Braves.

Next up to play is Chris Reed followed by Fuji, then Matt from Diamond jesters and then Jafronius.

I made a BOO BOO.

I incorrectly stated the wax boxes in Tom's prize winnings.


1992 Leaf series 1, 1995 Ultra series 1, and 1989 Pacific baseball legends series 2


These are the correct boxes, sorry TOM.

Trevor has a go at

A stack of HOF'ers on modern cards.  Like the other earlier prize there are apx. 60 cards in the lot. 

Next up is The Lost Collector, have at it AJ.

Tom locks up the first prize. Trevor P your turn

Tom steals from Julie who stole from Jon. That makes 2 steals on the 1989 Fleer wax box, 1992 Leaf, 89 Pacific Legends, and the 95 Ultra. That prize is now locked and can not be stolen again. Congrat's Tom.


Julie you will get to pick another remaining number (as you have already used your steal) in the second round. You will follow Jon again and Dimwit will follow you (for now).


Next to take a poke is Trevor P.

RAZ picks SIX

A bunch of Rookie cards. A nice stack too. Some you can't see.

Good Morning BFG World!

The Dimwit has chosen #23 and has this in his future at least for now.

A stack of Kelloggs.

Next up is Bo followed by RAZ followed by Tom T and Trevor P.

I'm going to bed, calling it a night.

Its 12:30 am I'm going to get some sleep. I'll check in the morning to see if there has been some action. Will resume the game then.


Good night all.

The Dimwit is next to play in the BFG. Followed by Bo, then RAZ, and Tom T.

The Dimwit is next to play in the BFG. Followed by Bo, then RAZ, and Tom T.

Samuel, you can steal or pick a remaining number.

Sharp chose #11 and it is......

It is.......

Whoa, maybe Julie stole too soon...    Next up to bat is Dim wit, with Bo following then Raz and Tom Tessier.

Does anyone know John Sharp?

John's a Michigan boy living in Jacksonville, FL. Has a blog but no e-mail listed. If you have his e-mail PLEASE e-mail him. If you have his phone number ...call him. Maybe you've traded with him, let him know it's been his turn for a couple of hours now. I don't plan on letting this BFG take a month to finish, so I may drop him out of the game if he hasn't gone before I go to bed (shortly). I did ask for an e-mail from everyone, and he didn't do that either, so I can't reach him. Going forward PLEASE PLEASE note when your turn is and who goes before you so that you can be waiting to go. I actually believed this game could be done tonight, at least through the first round. I posted when the start was and the pecking order, TWICE. I want to finish this game by tomorrow night.

Prigge chooses #19, Sharp you're up then Dimwit and Bo

Matt Prigge chooses #19 and it is.....

2018 stars the ones in the scan.

John Sharp you're turn. I don't have his e-mail so if someone has it, email him, then Dimwit will be after him followed by Bo.

Matt Prigge you're up then John Sharp follows

Prigge first, then Sharp followed by Dimwit and Bo!

Matt choose a number or steal.

Julie steals and Brett takes his turn

Julie decided to steal Jon's prize. If this was last year Jon would be going again right now. But, this is this year with new rules. Jon, you will get another turn when it comes around. So let's look at what Brett chose for #13.

Apx. 60 cards of HOFer's on modern cards. So yes, there is more than what is in this scan.

Jon picks

#17 which is unopened wax boxes of 1992 Leaf series 1, 1995 Ultra series 1, and 1989 Pacific baseball legends series 2.

Julie you're up! Steal these boxes or choose a number (1-16, 18-29).



ps. I didn't scan the wax boxes, didn't figure it was necessary.

Big Fun Game (BFG) now starting.

First to choose a number is Jon, then immediately after is Julie who will have the opportunity to choose an unpicked number or steal.


Go ahead Jon pick a number from 1-29.
