BoMo MoJo

Bowman goes live tomorrow which means people are going to be posting blaster rips pretty much all day today. So get excited! Go out and buy a case right now! There's lotsa Big Hits out there to pull! BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY!

Just so you know the type of quality hitz Bowman has to offer, here's a collection of Mojo I pulled from some 2004 Bowman boxes back in the day.


Here's a box topper. It's a white bordered card numbered to 245 encased in a special holder held together with a Topps Uncirculated hologram sticker that has never stayed stuck to the holder for even a second since I first got it. Casey Kopitzke never played in the majors and was out of baseball after 2006. I only have the one box topper because the other boxes I bought was already opened.



Here's a game used exhibition game relic from the Futures game. At least I assume it was worn in that game. Edwin played for the Dodgers at the time and I don't recall any red alternate Dodger unis. Edwin has had an effective career as a starting pitcher for a bunch of different teams. He couldn't get a contract  last offseason though and now he pitches for the Cubs so not so effective anymore.


Here is a game used high school jersey. No I'm not kidding. Chris Lubanski never played in the majors and was out of baseball after 2011.


Ok, here's some super serious Mojo. Ervin Santana on card autograph! Ervin's not an ace or anything but he's been solid with more ERAs in the 3's than in the 5's and is even pitching well for the Royals right now. Good luck finding this card for less than $10!


 Another exhibition game jersey assuming it's not not part of the bunting hung up at the All Star game. (have they done bunting relic cards yet?) Neal pitched seven years for Chicago. Both of 'em actually. Not seven years each, but total between the two teams. You know what I mean.


Merkin auto Mojo! This one's actually kinda cool to me because Valdez was an amateur free agent signing by the Braves and was traded to the Giants in the Russ Ortiz deal. Also, Merkin. LOL


Another High School jersey relic. Yay. There's a picture of the jersey on the back of the card and both of these are All-American jerseys of some kind. Jonathan Fulton never played in the majors and was out of baseball after 2011.


Ok, this one is legitimately cool. Ichiro and Pujols they ain't, but Dontrelle still has a decent hobby following. I don't remember the insertion ratio but it was in the thousands if I recall correctly.

Got all those boxes or near boxes for 'bout $20 a throw in '04. I wonder why so cheap?

BRACE YOURSELVES

Ginter is coming...


Retail wax hit Wal-Marts and Target this weekend like the blitzkrieg hit Poland (Godwin'd!) and entire STORES worth of blasters have already been swooped up by bloggers. You're about to see a LOT of Ginter. I may or may not have acquired a few packs myself.

I don't have time for a full blown post, but I can give you a small taste of what is to come.



Melky Cabrera. How lovely. Dare I say Melky-jo? Nah, I'm not saying that. That's just dumb. So, uh, brace yourselves for more of this. A LOT MORE. Hmmmm... am I forgetting anything?

somebody else drew this I can't remember who. reverse image search it


Oh yah. Duh!

October Card Show - Cheap MOJO

While I wasn't able to find a whole lot of 1979 Topps at the show, it wasn't for a lack of trying. Any dealer with a significant amount of vintage stuff from the '70s lying about got pestered for '79s. One dealer had piles of cards from the '60s and '70s but I wasn't able to figure out where the '79s were. After asking one guy, who looked around for another guy, who actually found the owner of that table I was able to find out that the '79s were buried under the '78s. There was nothing I needed in that pile or in another box of '70s junk the dealer was able to find, but he did have a pile of fifty cent relic and auto cards. I tried to steer my son into getting an autograph card but he was still sulking over not being able to get an autograph in person from one of the signers since we arrived late. I had to pick up some cheap MOJO, because I am an addict and cannot resist the shiny. These cards were amazing 6 to 10 years ago!!


Kerry Wood relic from Origins. Because I secretly kinda like Origins and I know a bunch of Cub collectors.


200? Bowman's Best Clint Nageotte. This one I might keep just because it looks cool. Clint pitched a few games for the M's but I think he's out of baseball now. I like that the autograph looks like it was signed with a fat Marks-A-Lot permanent marker.


Yhency Brazoban is actually still pitching, no? I pulled a Pedroia auto from '04 Elite, this card was probably hiding two packs over. I know as many Dodger fans as Cub fans so this will likely be involved in a trade eventually.


No idea what set this is from (I think it's from a cross brand thing Topps did a few years back) and Ben Hendrickson  didn't do a whole lot for the Brewers, but Thorzul has pretty much wiped me out of Brewer hits with all the packages going back and forth between Atlanta and Milwaukee. Gotta restock on the Brew Crew.

All that for two bucks!

I shoulda just bought a pack of Update...

No, no, no. I'm not talking 'bout that. I'm talking 'bout a different Mojo.


Nope, not Mr. Mojo. Put on a shirt, ya hippie. No one wants to see yer nipples.

Close, but not quite.

That's the ticket!
