January 2014 Pickups
Happy New Year everyone... Starting 2014 off, the same way I ended 2013, with some minor league pickups.

David...I love seeing ball players in their minor league days. They look so young and skinny! Here are a few to add to my Griffey collection...

I'll tack on a few more minor league cards.. Walker has always been on of my favorite players, couldn't pass on the lot..
Used my ebay bucks on the beater(possibly trimmed) Clemens. Not a card that I was necessarily in the market for, BUT the price was right in my wheelhouse, thanks to the condition... Last edited by novakjr; 01-03-2014 at 05:12 PM. Reason: added Clemens.. |

My first modern purchase in a long time. Thought I'd do a little speculating. I think this guy can have a huge year.

Not buying cards is getting to me, so I picked up this Yount as part of my master set to scratch that itch. Nothing fancy, but it will do for now.

That's one nice looking Yount! Congrats Bill!
Did the packers have a QB with the same name as you or did you edit the name? That would be pretty sweet if they did have a QB with the same name. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you, Mike.
Nope, it's a screenie from a Tecmo Bowl ROM. If you go to tecmobowl.org, you can download a NES emulator and play the game on your computer. Members of the website update the ROM every year for new players, trades, team moves (so it has all the current teams instead of the teams back when Tecmo Bowl was sold), etc. There's also an editor, so you can put yourself on the team should you choose. You pick your jersey #, position, set your attributes, and even pick which picture you want. You can also pick which plays are in your team's "playbook". Naturally I made myself Rodgers' backup, because while I had to suffer through the indignity of watching Seneca Wallace, Scott Tolzien and then Matt Flynn play quarterback in the 8 weeks Aaron was out injured, I didn't have to do the same in the game. I run like Kaepernick and throw like Rodgers, Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. Edit: George, those autos are beautiful. Especially the Bench. Unfortunately, players nowadays don't sign cards that nicely. The last really great signer was Griffey Jr. I understand these guys sign thousands of cards, but they're being paid a lot of money to do it, so you'd think they would take their time to do it right.

Thanks Bill, I do love the look of the 5 star. I have three young sons who love the shiney stuff, so I get sucked in. Trying hard not to buy a box of '14 topps this week. |

Bradley
That is a nice one Arthur. Is Mr Bradley going to break out this year ?
In October I was on a reposition cruise from Montreal to Miami on the Regent Seven Seas Voyager. One of the stops was Boston. By sheer luck this born and raised St Louis guy docked in Boston on the morning of October 31 Last edited by ALR-bishop; 01-26-2014 at 12:14 PM. |

The Cardinals certainly have no shortage of young impressive talent. Rosenthal, Martinez, Tavarez, seems like it never ends. Did you enjoy your stay in Boston?

Occasionally, there are really great players with nice signatures. Shelby Miller is one. He actually delivers a pretty decent one. Unfortunately, far too many of the Bowman Chrome prospect autos I have look more like this: And that was the nicest Taveras auto I could find. Sad.
