I need '89 Topps! and other things.....

Yes... the phrase you never thought you'd ever hear from a card blogger... I need '89 Topps baseball. And some other years as well.

So if you have this card....

 or any of his friends that I need.... please dig through your closets, under your bed, the bottom of the recycle bin, and save them for me.
I finally got off my butt and finished my Topps Braves want list. Well, from 1952 through 1991 anyways.... '92 until now is going to be a bitch.

So if you have Topps baseball cards from 1952 to 1991, and wish to help, please go HERE to checkout my wantlist.
I thank you.

help a blogger out....

I need your help. Well, I'm begging actually. The baseball season starts today! (not counting the ESPN love fest sunday night... and no, that doesn't count) I need to finish off a couple of sets, with your help please.
And we're doing this, Ginter style.... first up,

2006 A&G
Card #53 John Smoltz SP
Card #305 ???
Card #303 Jennie Finch
Now I know it may be impossible to pry Ms. Finch from most of your sweaty little grasps. I probably have a better shot at getting your favourite pair of jeans, your eye teeth, or your sister... but there are girl bloggers out there, and maybe one of them will help me.

2007 A&G

Card #72, 228, 272, 310, 311, 322, 336 those in red acquired, THANKS!

I have no idea who any of those are...


2009 A&G - complete!

Card #347 Yvoni Gallardo SP - Acquired! - THANKS MADDING!!!!
I thought I had Gallardo in a swap, but it never panned out, so he's back on the most wanted list.

so if anyone of you can help with my Ginter Quest, I would very much appreciate it. LMK and we can work something out.

Something a little cheerier...

My old bud, The Collective Troll stepped up and sent me a whack o' '76 Topps. Too many to list... among the highlights
A Willie
a Reggie

and an Expo. One of two Expos in the Hall of Fame.

If you can help in my eternal quest to finish this set, please go here to see my needs. They used to be wants. They are now needs. LINK

The ones in RED are hopefully on their way from helpful people, including some more from Troll.

Thanks to Marck and everyone else who has helped me with this.

54...53...52...51...

getting closer to 1976 Topps completion. A big thanks to Collective Troll, A Giants Blog, GCRL, and Larrythesewingmachineguy for offering to help me with this.

Think you know the HOF contest

There seems to be a plethora of contests today. Must be something in the water.

The latest is from my good friend Troll. No really. That's his name. (a little more believable than his other name)

So go here, read the instructions, and have some fun. You may even win the trunkload of stuff he's giving away. AN ALL HALL OF FAME CONTEST!!!!!!

And by the way, if you don't vote for Dale Murphy, then SHAME ON YOU!!!!

Free Ginter contest

Go here.

Read this.

Follow these instuctions.

Wait for the payday...

and tell him Canuck sent you!

New Contest from the National!

No. Not from me. I didn't go to the National. Way to long of a roadtrip.

Go check out Voice of the Collector, and enter there.

Some really cool prizes to be had.

Lisa is mine though. Mitts off.

O-Pee-Chee Goodness

Thanks to five trades with fellow bloggers... I am a heckuva lot closer to the end of the 2009 OPC baseball set than I used to be. It's not just the base, or the DP's... oh no... it's the inserts as well. Yep. Going after a mini master set, I am.
I'll be posting my wantlist here, in a few minutes, but first hear my plea.

I need help tracking down these inserts. Especially the retro blue bordered ones. If you have any OPC baseball, and are not collecting the set, please check out my list and help me out if you can.

To Marie(a cardboard problem), Jim (gcrl), David (Long Fly Ball to Because), Jeremy(the Hockey card Blog) ... your cards are in the mail. And I thank you.
To Ed from Roll out the Barrel, yours will be leaving soon.(I hope)

What are waiting for? Go here.....

so close I can smell it...

Two cards. that's all I need to complete last years' A&G set before this years comes out. I still have a few left to trade that I haven't given away to others trying to complete this thing.
Does anybody have #312 and #313?


EDIT: darkship comes through.... Thank you Todd!
