i'm back - sorta

OK - Everything is where it needs to be.

Cards are now in a much smaller closet.

I have too many of them.

over the next - however long it takes I'll getting rid of a lot of cards - mostly doubles and extras from old sets I'm working on - will be a lot of good starter sets if anyone is interested... I'll post more details as I get around to that.

Body Count - not getting its own post this week - I just watched last weeks episode and the the total count was

Jack - 1
Rest - 18
Total - 19

Bailey over at the Nennth Inning came closest with a guess of 18 kills - so he will be added to the leftovers drawing at the end of the season. Here are those who have points now

Chris - 1 point
Andy - 1 point
Don - 1 point
Duane - 1 point
Bailey - 1 point

I decided that last weeks contest winning would be 2 packs of 09 Heritage. Since I have yet to go back through all of my cards for next weeks prize - it will be a pack of 09 Topps Series 1 and 09 Ud series one.... so we have 4 packs on the table for next week now!. Official thread will be posted later tonight or tomorrow.

If I owe you my end of a trade - please shoot me an email or leave me a comment here - I have about 10 unopened packages yet from the move that is all cards - so it may still take me a bit - thats my project next week. Today, errands, tomorrow - Dynasty league auction draft, sunday - work. so really, I wont be back here until Monday and thats when it should be business as usual.

Good to back -

My quick opinions - Razorgate - who cares. I know that I get more excited about a Tom Browning Auto than Grover Cleaveland...

Dayf - good luck meng - we're pulling for ya

Craigslist Idiots is the best series of posts on any blog to date.

Also - While away - now up over 5,000 posts - Thank you! thats awesome.

Looking for Someone to Love Me - Autos

Okay, Todays post is a little like house keeping. Looking through my "hits" I noticed there were quite a few that I was not really attached to. Now, I know that there are plenty of different team collectors out there, and maybe someone might want to give some of these cards new homes. For Trade, I would be looking for something similar - Ie... Auto for Auto or auto/gu for a chunk of cards towards a set. I can't just give it all away! But I probably will.. who knows. First up are 5 Auto cards that are taking up space.

I already have a few of you in mind out there for some of these cards, but I dont know what you have, and dont want to make you feel like you NEED to take them off my hands. So here is a quick rundown of what you see above.

Felipe Paulino Auto 416/500 from 08 Topps Co-Signers

Bronson Arroyo Auo (AU-BA) from 07 Upper Deck Elements

Micah Owings Auto (ART-MO) from 2008 Upper Deck Series 1 All Rookie Team (as D Back)

Michael Bournce Auto (ART-MB) From 08 UD s1 All Rookie Team (as Phillie)

Jesse Crain auto from 07 Ud Artifacts

Shoot me an email or leave me a comment and see if we can work something out. I have a bunch of game used that will be showing up here shortly. Thank you all!
