2020 Topps Update and a hint to what is coming.

 What a horrible way for Topps to end the 2020 season. I have a complete update set. 1-300. Let me tell you it sucks. First and foremost is the fact that for those of us who set-build and place the cards in a binder it ain't working. There are fronts and backs and we can NOT page them properly as there BIG issues. Topps has flipped the cards. I want my cards with the card numbers in the exact same position on every page....This is uniform! But, no can't do that because half of the card fronts will be UPSIDE down. So....if you place the cards in the binder right side up (vertical cards), the numbers are all F'd up on the reverse. You have no idea how pissed off this makes me. This may be a final straw for me. I'll provide more info on my end of the year post next month. That post will be a loaded post. It will include the usual "how'd I do" grade, the ticket draw winner, and my look into 2021.


On a side note.....I will have the October Topps Wacky packages up tomorrow.

There is 1 of the first three Bingos.

Bingo check-in and some news

 You must check in between 7pm (EST & 7:59pm). First order of business is that Bo if playing has two #61's on his card. I have chosen the 2nd one (middle) to be #71.


There are a total of 5 games, all played at ONCE.

The first 3 games are a straight bingo any direction (like below).


A postage stamp (any corner)



4 Corners (self explanatory).


The 4th game is a double straight bingo, and the last game is a cover-all. 


I will pause the number calling when I know that there is a winner that needs to check their card! The rounds will each be a new post.
