Thank You! Thank you! and a Giveaway.

 1) The thank you is for everyone that reads this blog, and especially for the Night Owl who celebrated his 17th year on Saturday which reminded me that I totally had a brain fart and missed my 12th blogaversary last month (August 5th). 

2) Pretty sure I am over being sick. Today is my birthday and I didn't put together a special commemorative post for that either. I DID DO THE PREP WORK LAST MONTH, BUT THEN I GOT SICK AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS MONTH.

3) In lieu of my shortcomings I will be doing a 1 card giveaway on this post. I'll try to make it a worthy card.


RULES: As always be a follower of this blog and comment on this post (just once by midnight Friday EST), and I think for this one I will leave it at that. I will randomize them and because this is year 12 for the blog I will randomize 12x vs the 59x (my age).

BLOG TRIVIA: Who was my very first commentor?

ANSWER: TJ The Junior Junkie.

Have a great night!

  1. Happy birthday! Glad the sickness cleared up in time.

    My first commenter was Dinged Corners (Patricia), for whoever remembers that blog/her.

  2. Hope you're having a great birthday, Johnny! Thanks for the contest. I also forgot my blogiversary this year. Yours are special to me since we came up as blogging rookies together in 2013.

  3. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. I'm glad you're feeling better. Happy Birthday to you. (Did you sing it?) Congratulations on 12 years. TJ The Junior Junkie. I may never have a first commenter. I would need to start a blog first. Enjoy the night all!

    David Funk was my first commenter, he and I go back to our days at the old Sporting News blogs. My blog anniversary was June 17 (I began Nachos Grande in 2008)!

  7. Happy Birthday! We should be showering you with gifts!

    I don't know who my first commenter was, a lot of my older posts on Sport Card Collectors got messed up and comments have come and gone. That would have been a fun research project. Maybe a blog post idea down the road.

    Happy Blogversary!

  8. Glad you're feeling better, I know it's not a fun Birthday when you're not having fun. No idea who my first commenter was, and, I always seem to miss my Blog Anniversary as well...May, 2010.

    Good Job! ✌️
