Fantasy Baseball

Ok, it’s that time of year again. Time to drum up interest in a card bloggers fantasy baseball league. I’d really like to dissolve my current league and start fresh and I thought I’d put the idea out there in the blogging community to see if anyone is interested.

We’ve had good experiences with the ESPN leagues before, and the mobile app seems to be the best out of the big three, but other than that I’m open to any suggestions regarding league type, draft type, etc.

I was also toying with the idea of cash prize league but I thought I might have a way to make it more interesting. How about this: Each person’s “buy in” is $20. The $20 per person goes towards a card break. $20 x 8 players is $160, x10 is $200 or x12 is $240. That’s more than enough for a box (or two) of some product. At the end of the season, we bust the box(es) with each participant getting their team, minus any hits, which would be “the prize” for winning the league championship. The winner gets the hits, the rest of us get team cards as a consolation prize.

Anyone interested?

Anyone interested in a regular, free, non-card related league instead?

Last of December

I teased a couple weeks ago that the haul I was showing off was only part of my epic December. All the cards are finally in, and I can show off the second half. All together, December was a hell of month.

Power of the PWE

A couple weeks ago, Wes, aka JayBarkerFan decided to show the card community the power of a single stamp and a PWE. I was lucky enough to be on the receiving end of some of that random act of kindness.

Retail Therapy

I have zero will power when I’m sick. I normally have to have electronic devices capable of accessing ebay or amazon removed from my field of vision while I’m under the weather. This time the culprit was retail. I honestly walked in looking for Robitusin and/or Nyquil, probably both. I walked out with rack packs and a blaster of Bowman Chrome. Why? I have no idea. I don’t even like Bowman Chrome. On the up-side, I pulled 3 auto from Bowman Platinum, severely beating the pack odds. The added benefit for you guys is that everything is up for trade too.
