First Bipping of 2011

UPDATE: Justin of Justin's World actually did the Bipping. I goofed.

Jeremy of No One's Going To Read This Blog bipped me with a mess of '88 Donruss when he sent his payment for the Smallest Group Break Ever. The interesting thing about this bippery: there were only two cards of each player. Thirteen pairs of '88 Donruss cards. Now, according to the generally accepted guidelines agreed upon by the more bellicose members of the blogoshpere, a proper Bipping consists of at least 5 cards of one particular player. More informal rules state that a large amount of cards in multiples of three can also be an effective Mini-Bipping. Thirteen pairs of two has never been done before. However, much like Shwartz' breach of protocol by going straight to the Triple Dog Dare, I believe this is surely a True and Successful Bip simply because of this one fact:

Any sufficient quantity of 1988 Donruss is a Bipping in and of itself. 

Do you want to receive any 1988 Donruss? Most experienced collectors have at least two shoeboxes worth of this stuff down in the basement or shoved in a closet somewhere. Even people who only collect high end autorelics and graded cards still find 1988 Donruss cards lying around inexplicably amongst their collection every so often. 1988 Donruss is the baseball card equivalent of weeds, they just show up all of a sudden and don't go away. I think there is a printing press in Waukegan, Illinois that has been running non-stop for 23 years still printing up this set.

Bravo Jeremy Justin, you've not only provided my first Bip of the year but added an important corollary to the Rules of Bippery.
