Thanks dayf!!!

Everyone's favorite Junkie has been hooking me up left and right... Apparantly he "found" a bunch of vintage cards in his basement and he drew a masterpiece to capture the moment. I will post said masterpiece when I can scan it. The wife says it is suitable for framing...
Aside from that he has offered up a little pile of "worthless cards" from 2011 Topps. This will whittle my want list down to just 5 cards. They are cards numbered 388,523,574,582 and 639... I also now have 56 Kimball Champions minis, so I need only 44 more to finish that too. I certainly wouldn't mind if you offered any of these up to me... I MAY have ripped my box of Allen and Ginter and I MAY post the results soon... I have also realized that I now have 20 dupes from 1963 Topps. Is anyone else collecting this set??? About a dozen of them happen to be Cleveland Indians. I think I will post them all as bait tomorrow. Stay tuned. For now everyone must suffer along with me. I am gonna keep posting lil Blake DeWitt until a Cubs fan steps up and offers to take it...

Go Rays! troll out.

Now That Joe Morgan is Unemployed, Is it Safe to Recognize Him as One of the Best Second Baseman of All Time?

... and not just one of the worst broadcasters who played pro ball at one time on the same team as Steve Carlton...

I have decided to stop hating on him personally. I will probably even change the Nitty Gritty blog header. I am pleased to say that in my 1965 Topps binder I have changed the card in the slot for card #16. I really can't believe that I was able to complete this odd trifecta.

So, is Joe Morgan forgiven?

Okay. Off to work. A few notes... The Legendary Cardboard Junkie just offered up a huge trade involving 1965 Topps. Of the 27 trade bait cards I offered, they are ALL taken. BA Benny, Daily Dimwit and Captain Canuck - yours are all on the way AND dayf will be taking the rest off of my hands in return for a huge chunk off my wantlist. I am PSYCHED!!!! Oh, speaking of psych... I got an A in Psychology last year, but pulled off an A in Sociology this semester after getting a 99 on my final exam. Woo hoo!!! My other grades are still pending.

I will announce the contest tomorrow. There was an issue with the prize card, but I bought a few more to try and replace it. I think all will be pleased, I hope. Thanks to everyone for trading with me! Just a few more cards and the first 20 pages of my 1965 Topps binder are done!!!

Go baseball card collecting! troll out.
