You Complete Me!

These two guys have been on the stove for a while now, but they are finally complete.  The first of the 2003 Flair Greats that I bought was a blaster box from Target, I got a Johnny Bench Relic.  I really liked the cards so I made the set and decided to make two of the inset sets.  Below are the complete sets for the 2003 Flair Greats Classic Numbers and Ballpark Heroes. 

That is just tape on the case of the Ripken card.

A Contest Coming Soon..But More Importantly...We will Miss Ernie

Today is a sad day for Baltimore baseball.  Baltimore's "other" iron man, Ernie Tyler, passed away last night at the age of 86.  Ernie was Baltimore's Umpire Attendant since 1960, and has worked for the Orioles since their first season in  1954.  Ernie worked 3,819 consecutive home games at Memorial Stadium and Camden Yards.  He only broke his streak at Cal Ripken's request that he come to Cal's HOF induction. 

Please read the short article about Ernie's Days with the O's.

On a happier note, a contest is coming soon..."WHY NOT"

RIP Ernie, Baltimore will miss you.

Tons Of Football Inserts For Trade!!! Part 2

This is part 2 of a butt load of football inserts I have or trade, part 1 can be found here.  As always let me know if you like anything.  A few of the cards here are not inserts, but they are short prints.  Most of the cards pictured are serial numbered.

Tons Of Football Inserts For Trade!!!

Getting ready for the Superbowl, I thought why not try to set up some football trades.  I have scanned in about a billion insert cards, and will post them over the next day or two.  I also have a lot inserts and base cards that  I did not scan, so if you are collecting a player let me know and I might have some for you!  Most of these cards are serial numbered.  Let me know if you see anything you like!

Part 1 Of 2 Complete In The Quest For 24 Derrick Mason Patches part 3

Well, here we are at part 3 of my patch exhibition!  Part 1 can be seen here.  Part 2 can be seen here. You have seen 12 of them, here are a few more:

Patch 13 is a 2010 Absolute Memorabilia Trios, coming complete with patches of Derricks offensive buddies Ray Rice and Willis McGahee.  It is numbered 15/25.

Patches 14 and 15 are 2008 Leaf Limited.  I think I used to have a third copy of this card that I may have traded away Possibly to Beardy, but I really am not sure).  These two are numbered 77 and 20/85.

Patch 16 is a 2009 Donruss Threads card numbered 27/50.  I think that the patch blends in really nice with the design of the card, so much so that you almost need a second take to see it.

The last card I will share in this post is a 2008 Donruss Threads patch numbered 36/50.

See you next time!
