Rainbows and Ponies and Stickers and Myspace.com

First off, If you are concerned about the title, you obviously don't watch enough Family Guy. Anyways, here is another card for my rainbow, the Sepia parellel /99. I am not sure if I like the Sepia's but I will make that judgement when I receive it.

A "Marquee" Pickup

As many of you know, 2011 Topps Marquee was released earlier this week, and has been getting mixed reviews. It seems like a really high risk product because you either end up with $20 worth of cards, or $1000 worth of cards. Some of the nicer hits include the nasty patch and jumbo patch cards, as well as the museum collection autographs. The museum collection autographs are framed in a gold colored metal and numbered to ten. They are very thick and heavy, but are some of the nicest looking autographs of all time (of corse Youk didn't get one). They are selling for incredibly high amounts, but are actually expected to grow in value. Anyways, I have picked up two cards from the product so far, and here is one of them. I will show off the other when I get in in the mail later this week. It appears to be a really nice card with three white jersey swatches, and one two color patch. Enjoy...

Moneyball Movie

Hey, everyone. Sorry neither of us has posted in a little while. We've had school, family commitments, etc. I just wanted to say the the new movie coming out based on the Billy Beane book "Moneyball" looks really interesting. It stars Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill as Billy Beane and his assistant, making an unlikely acting pair a great team. The movie features roles of players of the era such as Scott Hatteburg, and the action from the trailer looks very realistic. The soundtrack for the movie is the catchy AC/DC song, Moneytalks.

Cardboard Adventure: Final Segment

So I found an advertisemant for a yard sale that had baseball cards. I decided to go and check it out. He had some sets, and singles mostly from the 70's of all sports. For $5 I bought a sealed set of 1989 Bowman, which had a Ken Griffey Jr. rookie in it. I saw some stars from the 70's, but one card caught my eye. In the bunch of 70's cards, I saw a 1958 Topps Card. Can you guess who it was? The price was $3.00. Scroll down to find out...










































































BV= $100. I took it to the card store, and it is authentic. It looks alot better in person.

Most Recent Pickup

Hey guys. The cardboard adventure series has been delayed for a couple of days because my scanner is down, but it will be worth the wait! For now, I have a new PC pickup that I really like. I saw one of these on ebay almost a year ago, but I didn't bid because I thought I didn't have anough money. The auction ended way below what I would have bid, so I made sure I bid this time. This may be my new favorite card!

FREE CUSTOM CARDS!*

Hey, everyone. I'm taking on the undoubtably menacing task of making custom cards for anyone who asks. It is on a purely first come, first serve basis. All you need to do is email me at zdoger99@aol.com, or comment below with the year, design, players, or other special requests. *If you would like the cards to be in-hand, I will print them and have them shipped, but you wil have to pay for the cards and materials, and to cover shipping and such (very reasonable pricing varies). Also, if anyone wants a set of 10-15 (non-custom) cards of players, teams, or special pc's of their choice for $3.00-$5.00 respectably (within reason, eg; no relics, autos, etc). The same shipping rules apply.
