In retaliation

To a thought some schlub blogger had to say about my beloved shiny cards:


2008 Topps Co-Signers

No. 9 Aaron Harang w/ Homer Bailey
Hyper Silver Blue
30 / 50
Found: on the bay

Cheese out the fridge: one lb.

This card is what new fangled stuff of the future is all about. I am sure it will be looked on in 15 years like we look back on Star Trek show computers today and think what the heck is up with that?

I LIKE THEM.
CARDS THAT ARE SHINY STICK OUT.
THIS IS EXTREMLEY HARD TO PRINT ON AND LOOK GOOD.

You can have 200 on card autos but the autos on refractor cards look the best. This card has a prismatic sheen that goes where your eyes go. Not just shiny. Plus it has Homer Bailey. I hope this is the year he gets to the Bigs and sticks there. He can be a solid 2 guy if he keeps his confidence.

Mini Card for Big K's


2008 Topps Allen & Ginter
Black Border Mini
215 Aaron Harang

Found: In an Envelope

Cheese Out the Fridge: Nada

Look at the stare that make Mets quiver. The intensity of those eyes baring down on the batter. Gripping the horsehide for a two seem screamer. Mr. Redlegs laughing at Jose Reyes 'cause he knows Jose can only pop out to third at best in this matchup.
I never bought any Allen & Ginter. But have received a few in the mail from trades and really like the set. Nice classic artwork that looks like quality pastels to me.
The back is what does it for me. I like to read and the stats presentation is great so I don't mix numbers up.

Sign This Please


2007 Goudey
Goudey 'Graphs
GG-AH Aaron Harang

Found: On the bay

Cheese Out the Fridge: .99 ounces

Punisher of bunters.
Tamer of out of control homer run hitters.
The letter K's BFF.
Master of stinky chedduh.
Slider of the horsehide.
Senior of the flowing signature.

I like this card for the simple design and the on card autograph. Looks nice and fits the card well. Plus you can read it.

How Bout a little YALL?

You are looking live:




2008 SPx
Winning Matterials
WM-AH Dual Jersey Team
02 / 25

Found on: ebay

Cheese out the fridge: 2.00 lbs.

That's right! Two swatches of red undershirt for me to sniff the light fantastic!

Nice shiny silver design.
The photo of Aaron throwing with a faded photo in the background on front and back.
Nice.
