Tribecards from Outer Space: Big Pop-up

Before we open up the Free Agent Draft later tonight, I am busting open a pack of cards. I'll add any free agents to the draft for this weekend. Let's check it out.

I have a pack of 1986 Donruss All-Stars. 1 pop-up, 3 cards, and 3 puzzle pieces of Roberto Clemente.

Roberto Clemente (Puzzle 34, 35, 36) - Pirates - EG9460 (Wahoo!!)
Dick Howser (pop-up) - Royals - FREE AGENT
Mike Kudrow - Giants - FREE AGENT
Wally Joyner - Angels - Backstop Cards (Wahoo!!)
Glenn Davis - Astros - FREE AGENT

Lookie there! Tonight, we handed off a Clemente puzzle and one of the big cards. The pop-up will be up for grabs, so if anyone wants a Dick Howser, add him to your pick list and hope for the best.

Managers, look for the Free Agent Draft a little later!

I posted an entry about the amazing box of wax packs sent over by Padrographs (http://www.tribecards.net/2013/04/tribecards-padrographs-effect.html), so I figured why not bust open one of these bad boys and see what's inside, right?

Tribecards: The Padrographs Effect

All I can say is, "Wow!" I mean WOW! I came home to find a Priority Small Box in my mailbox. It's from Rod Richards (Padrographs). Inside? A slew of packs for the season breaks and two stacks of Indians baseball cards for my collection! Once again, i am blown away by your generosity and desire to chip in for the collective group! Thank you so much! How freakin' cool!!

Tribecards from Outer Space: Black Eyes, er, Eye Blacks!

Tribecards from Outer Space: From the Archives

Hey, everyone! Our thoughts and prayers go out to those impacted by the bombings in Boston and the streak of tragedies that have hit close to the Tribecards hometown. It's been a rough couple of days, to make an understatement.

In the face of tragedy, though, we slowly put lives back together, reflect on memories of those lost and look forward to those yet to come.  And, so, we move ahead and break open a pack of cards after a moment of silence...

...

Tonight, I've got a pack of 2012 Topps Archives. 8 cards per pack.

Shaun Marcum - Brewers - FREE AGENT
Ben Zobrist - Rays - P-Town Tom (Wahoo!!)
Matt Cain - Giants - Adam Smith (Wahoo!!)
Dan Haren - Angels - FREE AGENT
Joe Morgan (Archives Foil Stamp) - Astros - FREE AGENT
Dee Gordon - Dodgers - FREE AGENT
Johnny Cueto - Reds - FREE AGENT
Tom Seaver - Mets - Paul.Hadsall (Wahoo!!)

Huh. Joe Morgan is a free agent. Who woulda thunk it? Congrats to the managers that pulled players for their teams!
