99th Post.... Check out the Don-Sanity!!!

Before I collected Carl Crawford, but after I started collecting Rickey Henderson, DON MATTINGLY was my favorite player.  A fellow Hoosier with the most bad ass hair in the MLB.  Donny Baseball was my idol.  I have since learned to loath the evil empire, but back then I ran around my neighborhood every weekend checking to see if any of the kids I traded with had Mattingly cards.  It was one of the best times of my life.  

Recently Upper Deck lost a court case and the ability to produce baseball cards.  Although I am not a huge fan of Upper Deck it was nice having a choice when it came to which product to spend my money on.  Back when most of these cards were made we could pick between a number of companies as you can see.  Some of them had a license to use the logos and some did not.  I always wanted my Don's to have the Yankee logo, but I did trade away a lot of Gooden, Strawberry and Canseco cards to score most of these.  I hope you enjoy my random 99 Don-Sanity.

Do you have any of these cards in your collection?  If you do which one is your favorite?  Leave a comment.  I would love to know someone looked through the Don-Sanity!

THE CARD ADDICT

Card of the Day!

I know what your saying to yourself right about now....  What a creative title The Card Addict came up with for this post!  All I can say to that is Thank You!  Here is a card that I recently bought from EBAY.  For some reason I have really been hitting the Bay hard this month.  I have a problem.  I admit it.  Is that the first step?

Carl Crawford will be my favorite player hopefully for most of 2010.  I say this because I hope he makes it the whole year without getting traded.  I don't really expect him to be a Ray in 2011 so I will just have to see where he goes to determine if he will still be at the top of my list.  So for now CC is my main man and here is the newest item in my growing collection:

2008 Bowman Sterling GOLD 22/50

The back!

I like it for a few different reasons, number one: it is shiny.  Number two: it is numbered in gold foil.  Number three: it is a refractor.  Number four:  it is now part of my collection.

I can go and add it to my zistle.com account now and cross it off the list.  Thanks for checking out my blog.  If you want to set up a trade with me for your old tired Carl Crawford cards, email me at: jmeloy1218@gmail.com

Cereal for Breakfast, Serial Killer, and Serial Numbers....

This morning I had a huge bowl of Life cereal with my daughter....  Does it get any better?

At lunch today I was reading a great book, which by the way is the basis for the Showtime drama Dexter.  If you like dark creepy crime books and are not familiar with this series, I highly suggest you pick it up and read it.  You will not be able to put it down.

Does it get any better?


Then I received a package in the mail box when I got home from work!!!!  I  placed a $1.99 bid and ponied up the $3.50 shipping price for this lot of 6 serial numbered Carl Crawford cards!!!!
