Colorful Friday

The World Baseball Classic has got me so ready to watch the Sox. I just got to figure how I'm going to do that since I cancelled my cable. I'd pay for a MLB package if they would get with the times and not black everything out. I'm not sure why the MLB is so stubborn to change their policies.

Enough about baseball, at least for a week or so. Today's post is former Wolverine football post. It'll be a quicky as I have some things to do before going to bed as early as I do for work. I have to get up early to get up to Lansing for the card show tomorrow.

The top scan is from my latest Sportlots package and the bottom card is from my LCS. Lots and lots of color. 

These 9 cards give me 24 cards of Chris.

I picked up this at my LCS as well, well technically, I pulled it out of his box of cards in my card room but I still got it from the LCS.

This card of Hurst gives me 21 of Moe.

These also came from that LCS box. The one on the left is #'d to /99 and the one on the right is to /199. These 2 are also rookies. I just realized, every card on this post is a rookie card.

These 2 cards give me 26 cards of Taco.

There is a lot of shinyness on this post

And 3 in the Maize and Blue with autographs.

Happy Birthday Taco!

Taco Tuesday

The men's team seems to finally be on track and they picked a good time by beating IU. If only because it gives me bragging rites with the GM of our plant. I think he might be hiding from me though, I haven't seen him all week.

Today's post randomly fell on Tuesday which worked great for the title.

First up, we have the pro version of Taco. Lots of running photos.

A couple of Maize and Blue cards as well to go with the draft day card. Have I mentioned that I hate it when they take the wings off the helmet? Technically, there are other schools that use it (Delaware) so I wouldn't think it would be a trademark thing so why cut it out?

These all came in my previous Sportlots package.

Anyways, off my soap box for today. These 12 cards double my cards of Taco giving me 24 total of him.

5 in 1

It's been a couple of days since I posted but not entirely my fault. I tried to post on Friday but I couldn't get blogger to upload any photos, not sure what the deal was. I tried a few times in a 2 or 3 hour period before giving up.

Yesterday we did a card show. I had a really good time, just chatting with the other dealers as well as the buyers. It's just nice to chat about sports and cards on a regular basis these days.

When I got home, I went over to my mom's to watch Michigan beat Iowa for their first Big Ten Championship since 2004. I was so excited by the time I got home (after midnight) that I wasn't really ready for bed so I sat and watched the basketball game from earlier in the day. We won that as well. Needless to say, I just didn't take the time to post yesterday.

I'm gonna throw a few different collections in this post to get a move on because I have another Sportlots box coming at the end of the month and I need to get caught up. These are all Tier 2 Michigan player collection cards. I only had a card for each one.

I picked up this Jake Butt auto at my LCS a few weeks back. It's my 9th autograph of his out of 29 cards that I have.

I picked up this serial numbered Taco card. It's the red parallel, I had to double check because there is very little red on it. Just the manufacture logo and the RC logo are red. I picked this up at the last card show in Fort Wayne and it's my 12th card of Taco.

I picked up this Higdon not long ago, I think last weekend at Baseball Card Exchange so I didn't pay but a couple of bucks for it. Not a fan of these photos but I needed it. It's my 3rd auto and only my 6th card of Higdon.

Sluggo gave me this card on Friday when I went over to help him load up the car for the show. He gave me a small stack of Michigan and Sox cards for me to look and see if I needed and I knew I needed this one right away because it's my first card of Ben Mason. I've been looking but hadn't found any.

Lastly, I got this Duncan Robinson from Sluggo as well. Although it came to me awhile ago unlike the Mason above. This is the blue parallel. This is my 8th card of the sharpshooter.

Cowboys (rookie)

I only have Cowboys cards so that's all you get in that section.

I have 3 cards in Michigan gear (minus a couple you'll see next).

I also have 3 autographs but you've seen 2 of the cards above just without the auto, and even the 3rd as they used the same picture.

On a side note, I learned on Wikipedia while making this post that he's named Taco because his mom is a Taco Bell afficionado. I don't know what that means but I thought it was cool.

Happy Birthday Taco!

*All cards shown above are in my collection but the photos/scans are from TCDB.
