Wacky Wednesday

I am tired tonight, so I apologize in advance for a short post. I do hope that some cards tonight are interesting to others. Let us get right to them.

Tried a new format, I don't like it, but too late for tonights post.

McDowell shagging fly balls. Zeile interview, and the Canseco brothers.

A loilli pop, Hudler acting like Ozzie, and Bonilla all cracked up.

A towel on the mound during a game, some water play, and Candy looks like that batting helmet is about to be tossed like a football.

 Shades and some "air-time"

Looks like a homemade do-rag, and a throwback.

 An interview, and a cool Stotlemyre (the back is here tonight as well).

These speak for themselves, but the Bert and Jim backs appear again.

Pretty cool card!

A whole bunch of throwbacks.

Gonna toss the pigskin.

 I said you would see the backs of these three.

Ending with some "Classic" MLBers on their minor league teams.

TRADE DAY

Hmmmmm. No, not going to be an April's Fools day post. I really would like to trade or sell, or barter this 1957 Mantle. Previously, back when I first started this blog I had mentioned that my few Mantle's (left) were reserved for High End John Elway cards. I've changed my mind, and would be willing to trade for a lot of the big time Braves hits that I need preferably base cards/parallels. I read tonight that jaybarkerfan needs the 1969, so I shot him a comment to see what that one would stir up (it (1969) is in really good shape too). Anyways, I'm in a really good mood tonight, as I got some set killers yesterday and today :). I need a lot and I will entertain serious trade offers.

And the WINNER IS.....

Congratulations Mark Hoyle for the closet guess without going over (no one went over) to how many cards in my Flagship Topps Binders of Atlanta Braves 1966-2014. Mark guessed 950... I actually have drum roll please..

1,031 unique Atlanta Braves cards in that binder from 1966-2014.

Thanks for playing.

Monday "mini" Madness

Madness, I say!, Pure madness.  Back to reality, tonights minis are from my personal collection.
Autographs, primarily Braves with just a few non Braves. I don't have many (hint, hint, hint), but what I have I will share with you tonight.

Bielecki, Helms, and P.Smith.

Eichhorn, Lonnie, and Benedict.

Zane, Olson, and Marak.

I haven't done the TTM in 22 years, I'd like to get back into that...Gladly take advice/suggestions where to start (for addresses) at least the Braves, but pretty much anyone.

A nice trio here with James, Avery, and a recently elected HOFer in the Glavine.

Puleo, A. Devine, and Herr.

McBride, Bonnell, and a serial numbered Bowie.

Perez and Peraza.

French.

I know, sucks, wearing a Reds and an Astros uniform (on the front), but the cards back calls them Atlanta Braves cards. Take a look.

See.

Now for a few non-Braves.

Another sweet trip, with the Karros, Baerga, and Ecks!

Nice foursome.

When I traded for these two (Beckett), they were listed as Braves, darn it, but hey a white swatch on one of them.

Another dual auto/jersey card.

That Duckworth was hot when I got it, LOL.
Now the last four are photos, Murphy here is larger than an 8x10 and the other 3 are 8x10s.

Nice personalization by Mr. Murphy!

Andruw, I have two.

Giles.

Leo Mazzone.

Sunday shout outs and an easy contest

First thanks to reader Mark Hoyle who sends some more Braves my way, and also to John hazen who sends his contest cards in with some extras to boot!, Thanks guys. There is still one more contestant who hasn't sent their card(s) yet, but I am going to mail the others out anyways. Thanks for playing, and super easy 1 winner contest at the bottom of this post.

For now, let's look at what those two readers sent over.

Thanks again. For the March contest just answer (guess) 1 question.

How many (no dupes) ATLANTA BRAVES cards do I have in my Binder #3 the Topps Flagship ranging from 1966 to 2014? The closest guess without going over wins these two game used pieces.
Contest ends midnight EST tomorrow.

ICHIRO

SOSA, AT LEAST IT HAS A STRIPE.
I GOT THESE TWO OUT OF A COUPLE K-MART BLASTER BOXES LAST SUMMER.

Also, I have been adding to my Braves page putting in the NON FLAGSHIP Topps HAVES, and working on the Donruss and Upper Deck, Fleer, Bowman, Pacific, Score, Pinnacle, etc... check it out to see if you have some that I am missing. My Heritage cards start in 2001, but skip to 2006 before I have anymore, thanks.

Shadow Shots

I hope that everyone's weekend has started off well.

Let us see what the shadows show us today.

Besides being vintage, i see an upside bucket right as if Hale could sit on it.. Or it could be a top hat.

A kitty.

A dinosaur.

Not really sure, but very cool shadow!

A running dinosaur.

A scuba diver.

a witch's hat.

A rabbitt (really long ears)

Either the cent symbol or a crescent moon.

A Mahjongg tile symbol or Asian character.

No clue, but cool all the same.

One from my favorites, teletubby.

Maybe one  more post of shadow shots, could be two. For now, I plan on using Saturday as a general post day, or maybe a day off, hehe, just kidding.
