Tribecards from Outer Space: Post B-Day Pack #2

Hey, everyone!
  Here is the second pack of the night! I am busting open a pack of 2011 Topps Baseball Update Series. 12 cards per pack.

Wilson Ramos - Nationals - FREE AGENT
Grant Balfour - Athletics - FREE AGENT
Gerald Laird - Cardinals - FREE AGENT
D.J. LeMahieu - Cubs - FREE AGENT
J.J. Hardy - Orioles - Thorzul (Wahoo!!)
Tony Campana - Cubs - Mark Aubrey (Wahoo!!)

Wow! Nice job! We pulled five players and will be passing them on to their respective managers. JRBeasley just pulled his first card of the season!! *Side note: I forgot to mention that BrownPG pulled his first card in the last pack! Congrats to everyone landing cards this time.

Remember: There is still a little bit of time (at the time of this post) to get in on the Free Agent Draft #3. It will close later tonight (Sunday).

Padrographs, Baseball Dad, Apple Pie and Chevrolet

The other day, I posted a bunch of cards that I thought were from Padrographs. Well, at least SOME of them were. Some of them may have also been from a recent bubbleope from Baseball Dad. You see, somewhere in my disorganization, I think I mixed two piles of cards together.  What tipped me off? Well, I found the bubbleope, for one thing. I also found a stack of cards that I knew were from Baseball Dad because they have a variety of Arkansas Travelers in them. Rut Roh!

The cards are not as random as one might believe. In addition to the Travelers, he also threw in the Red Sox player (Zupcic) who was born in my hometown of Pittsburgh three years before I was. And, of course, since he was sure I "already owned a Bob Feller rookie card," he tossed in some other Tribers.  As far as I know, I do not own the Feller rookie.

If I mixed up the piles, please accept my apologies! In either case, THANK YOU goes out to Baseball Dad for some very cool cards!!

Tribecards from Outer Space: Post B-Day Pack #1

Hey, everyone!

I am busting open at least two packs today, and I am starting with this one: 1992 Topps Baseball. 15 cards per pack. Later tonight (CST), I will run the Free Agent Draft and bust open another pack or two or whatever hits my fancy!

John Franco - Mets - FREE AGENT
Jason Pruitt - Royals Draft Pick - FREE AGENT
Carney Lansford - Athletics - FREE AGENT
Steve Farr - Yankees - FREE AGENT
Bobby Bonilla - Pirates - Cardanathema (Wahoo!!)
Paul O'Neill - Reds - Brownpg (Wahoo!!)
Dave Gallagher - Angels - FREE AGENT

There was also a "Match the Stats" game card in the pack. The prize was a pack of 1992 ToppsGold cards if I could scratch off three spots that matched the stat before I scratched an OUT. The sta is "Triple Crown MVP Frank Robinson in '66 led the Majors in HR's with 49."

There are 8 spots on the card. Let's see how I did:

BLAST! I should have known better than to hit it down the first base line on my second at-bat. For the curious, here is what the rest of the card looked like:

Welp, if we see another one of these, we'll try again. If we end up a winner, I'll buy a pack of 1992 ToppsGold online and bust it open for the giveaway!

Tribecards from Outer Space: Happy Birthday to Me

Today, Saturday the 20th, is/was my birthday! One of my gifts was a blaster box of Gypsy Queen. But, since it's my birthday and I am not at my regular computer, I am calling for a B-Day Delay.

That's right, I'm taking the night off. I'll open at least two packs on Sunday to make up for it.

I also got some very nice wicking shirts, two iTunes cards, two Walmart cards, "Rock of Ages" DVD, "Wreck it Ralph" DVD, a family game called "In a pickle," and cash.

Oh yeah, it was also my son's Senior Prom tonight. Overall, a very Happy Birthday indeed!

Free Agent Draft Pick 3 Now Open!

Come and claim 'em! Managers, use the link below (or on the "Info" page) to head over and lay claim to your top 10 draft picks.

I stuck with 10 picks this week just to see how it goes.  We've got more than 60 Free Agents this week!

The players are arranged alphabetically by first name this time, though, so finding the one(s) you want should be easier.

Remember: You do NOT have to pick anyone if you don't want to.

Good luck and have fun!

Update: Might help if I post the link:
