Very cool! I was thinking about making scorecards my next project, but these may have changed my mind, programs may be the way to go.

 

[Benson]

Those are scorecards, not a program with ads and pictures. The inside of each was scored by my grandmother.
The '52 is from August 3, 1952, Cardinals 3 -1 victory over the NY Giants.
The '53 is from August 2, 1953, Cardinals 10-1 victory over the Brooklyn Dodgers. Seven HOFers in the game: Musial, Schoendienst, Slaughter, Reese, Robinson, Snider and Campanella.

Good stuff!

Also nice to see the Cardinals put up a 12-spot in one inning without a home run...

Was a crazy inning, really wanted Craig to get a 3rd at bat as a pinch hitter

Got these in the mail the other day.

Scooped up some Bowman Platinum blasters yesterday and pulled these.

Not bad. Are the cards all a chrome stock this year or are some still the thinner paper stock?

All base and some inserts are on paper, prospect parallels and autographs are on chrome.

No one been making any pick ups lately? I know I've been dry for a while myself

Picked these up awhile ago. Started to collect Marion once I realized that I have been working with one of his nephews for the past 4 years

And my favorite so far:

 

[PujolsCollector]

No new pickups for me. I have scaled back from searching ebay 15 times a day for Descalso cards, havent checked blowout in a week. These last 9 cards may never get into my collection.

Thought you were going after that Dickson plate?No dice then?

 

[SINFULONE]

Some recent mail I've gotten, ironically enough in large part to metallicalex777.

 

[SINFULONE]

One of my favorite cards.Possibly my best retail pull ever.Not going to risk it, but how nice would this look signed in blue?Has anyone tried sending anything to him at his restaurant?Might be worth a try to send some base?

 

[PujolsCollector]

SINFULONE. Changed my mind on going after dickson. As far as Edmonds I believe he doesn't have much to do with the restaurant. Basically it is just endorsed by him. I have heard he stops in every time he is in town but don't know the truth to that.
