Or more. Eric Byrnes pointed out that Odor seemed to purposely drop his hand and hit Bautista in the face with the throw to first. Slow motion replay appears to support that claim.
Living in Warriors country equals extremely watchable basketball. In fact, I think the Warriors have been must-watch for at least the last couple of years. Spurs, Thunder, Cavs - all are a fun watch. If you're a Knicks, Lakers or Rockets fan, however, then I can fully get behind the unwatchable tag.
So far it's been Howie Kendrick, although Carl Crawford has only played in 16 games as compared to Howie's 27. My snap answer would have been Crawford, and that's my final answer as well. Yes, he's batting a robust .200 and Kendrick is batting .188, but he just looks hapless (and hopeless) at...
As reported on the Mothership: http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/15493601/bartolo-colon-home-run-card-shatters-sales-records-topps-now
The previous top seller was Jake Arrieta's no-hitter - 1,808 cards were sold. Colon's record-setting home run accounted for 8,826 orders.
Who'da thunk it?
I absolutely remember. JJ Newberry's in Astoria OR was my "LCS" in the late '70s. I also remember the candy cigarettes - Pell Mell was one of the "brands". Can't recall any of the others right now.
Remember when you carried a hand-written wantlist to the card show in your local high school...
I'll accept this additional punishment the instant they strip Lyin' Ryan Braun of his MVP and give it to Matt Kemp.
Disappointing about Gordon. I was just talking with my son tonight about how the Dodgers haven't had a whisper of a running game since he was traded and that I missed having him...
Hi, Albert. Welcome to FCB. I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping you make this board part of your ongoing hobby experience.
I don't suppose #427 is part of your gold lot?
'83 Tony Gwynn RC mask negative from the Topps Vault :eek:

I might have a few things to contribute to this thread!
These were the first really cool items I landed. I picked these up from a collector in Canada back in the late 90s, I think. They are the original slides that were used to produce several stickers.
1984 Topps blackless...
Just finished reworking the 1950s Topps page. Came up with a template that I like a bit better, too.

It's been quite a while since I've had occasion to update this thread. The Topps Vault finally released something worth going after: 1997 Finest Match Print photos.
From the auction description: "... original color correction match print photo created and used to produce this player's...
Thanks.
'66 high numbers are ridiculously tough. I've got another in my '66 set that's better centered - picked it up at the Natty last year for a really good price. I should probably swap them out.
Good catch. Prior to the rebuild I had all the horizontal cards pictured vertically. Thought I'd throw 'em at the bottom of each set - otherwise they'd mess up the clean layout if I left them in alphabetical order.
Yes, all the sets are complete. The '50B Edwards has replaced the '51B...
Fellas, thanks for the feedback. I like the way it turned out, but it's always nice to hear positive things from others.
I just finished up with my Bowman page. It features complete Dodgers sets from 1948 through 1955.

Maybe from an analytics standpoint it was the right thing to do. It's always easy to second guess a manager/coach when viewed from hindsight's perspective. Kid pitched a hell of a ballgame, and was visibly upset when he saw Roberts climb the dugout steps. I wish DR would have let him pitch to...
I've been using plain black backgrounds for so long, so I thought I'd try something a little different. My imagination only goes so far, and quite honestly I'm far from proficient with any official web page building programs. I use a fairly simply WYSIWYG editor, and it's fairly kinda tedious to...
DYAC (Damn You, Auto Correct)
I was was typing from my phone - apparently Siri thought she had a better grasp of what I was trying to type.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
