Hall of Fame - Pedro Martinez

More '90s weirdness inserts to celebrate people actually going into the Hall of Fame while they're alive and kickin'! Have some Pedro.

Had to show off the Dodger card where Pedro's clowning around. I think this card got tweeted about 100 times the day of the induction announcement. But how many of them were the Silver Signature parallel version eh? That card right behind it is a double so make me an offer I can't refuse.

DUFEX EXPOS GOODNESS. Man I hope Martinez goes in with an Expos cap. On a Dufex plaque.

Die-cut micro-foil etched plaques with '90s rainbow color scheme would also be acceptable. Ever heard of Skybox Circa Thunder before? Kinda want a case of it now, don't ya?

I have probably 1000 doubles of Ginter from 2006-2013 if anyone wants to trade new for old.

BIG thanks to Ben at Cardboard Icons who massacred this list.
Moarer thanks to Scott who picked off some more off the list.
Brenda at the card show murdered off the inserts.
Ross at Champion Sports Cards picked off a few more.

First Ballot Hall Of Famer

Chipper Jones really likes college football.

 He also signs his cards promptly!

My favorite player is better than your favorite player.

Hall of Fame - Randy Johnson

Scanner crisis is over so time for some Haul 'a Faym posts! Randy Johnson got the most votes this year, mainly because BBWAA members would check the box next to his name and remember their favorite dick  joke and giggle. Hey, votes are votes, don't be judgmental. Here are three of my favorite Unit cards scrounged up from the archives.

Rookie Randy! Forget the Griffey or the Fuck Face, I want to rip a case of '89 Fleer in search of a Randy Johnson Marlboro ad variation. Kinda silly since I've got at least 2 complete sets of the stuff, but still.

1996 Upper Deck Hot Commodities. Die-cut AND holofoil AND special FX etched foil stuff AND it's the same color as a thermonuclear fireball. The '90s were a crazy time, folks.

2000 Fleer E-X E-xplosive. Fleer could also do some crazy stuff back in the day and this is the purdiest cards I have of Randy in this Snake days. It's also numbered out of 2499. BOOM!

Pedro next!

Hall of Fame - Craig Biggio

(wrote this stuff last year when I still cared about the Hall of Fame. I did posts for Maddux, Glavine and Thomas featuring three favorite cards for each from my collection and Craig was supposed to be in that group but oh well. I knew Biggio would get in this year so I forward dated it to tomorrow as an pre-announcement auto-post but got the date wrong so here it is now)

TWO FUCKIN VOTES

Biggio should have friggin been elected last year but as I write this he's still on the bubble with Hall voters becoming stupider and stupider by the second. For the record, Piazza, Raines, Bagwell, Bonds, Clemens and yes, Jack Morris should have been elected last year too and if any of them had we would not have this ridiculous voting backlog right now but that's how the mop flops. Seeing as how we're getting Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz and Gary Sheffield on next years ballot FOR STARTERS, I really hope Biggio isn't out there soaking up more votes for desperate candidates on a complete debacle of a ballot.

If you say the words "Craig Biggio" this is the card I will immediately think of without exception. 1991 Donruss is a horrible set, but this is a beautiful card.

Ultra Gold Medallion double play leaping card. With an ex-Astro on the card no less.

This card from an obscure late '90s set may not seem Mojoriffic at first glance but cards serial numbered to under 100 (98 in this case) from back in the day are not at all easy to find. Sure, it's maybe only a 10-15 dollar card but good luck finding it.

(I've picked out some cards for the rest of this year's surprisingly large Hall of Fame crop and will post them throughout the week with slightly less agitated commentary. I'm done with the Hall, but I'm rediscovering how cool wacky 90s inserts can be)

Mobile Friendly Wantlist - 1992-2014 Topps

Too bad there's not a single card shop in the country that has commons of these sets for sale because worthless.
Oh well if I ever find a weirdo shop I'LL BE READY

When you get old you forget about birthdays

Yesterday morning was the eighth anniversary of the launch of this blog. Back then I was young and sprightly and posted things about baseball cards at 5-something in the morning. Now I'm old and cynical and broken and can't function until 11AM even with coffee. In previous years I posted a happy birthday to me thing to commemorate it but I didn't this year because lazy. Still, you can't just ignore the Yogi anniversary so here's eight Yogis that may or may not have been posted here before in honor of eight Years.

yeah I know, recycled pictures.

Maybe next year I can bother to post at least once a week. If you count all the abandoned posts in my draft folder I've actually been very prolific. In my defense I've been busy spouting nonsense on Twitter and doing a Podcast in 2014. And actually sorting and organizing my isht, if I can find a few more sheets I'll have all my sets binder'd from 1971-1983 by the end of the year.

Here's to 2015, may it not be as utter crap as 2014!

Joy of a Completed Set - 2002 Rittenhouse James Bond: Die Another Day

 Because North Korea and Sony (and Paramount) can go suck each other's dicks. Cuba's OK now though.

Remember to read the back of the page down to up! Completely backwards, just like the rest of the fuckin' world in 2014.

I'm on a bit of a Bond kick right now and I need more cards of James in my life.

Old Birds

Here's some crummy old Topps cards I need for my Hawks and Falcons team sets. I had a Flames list laboriously typed up at one time but an unexpected Windows update reboot ate it. I'll add pretty pictures sometime before I die. probably.
