I'm going to audit my FF collection soon to see if anyone else is missing.

When I did find it I considered just sending you a message with the link so you could grab it, but then I worried that someone else would buy it before you got my message. So I bought it to make sure no one else would, because it was cheap and it was the only copy out there that I could uncover.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-14313245920471591002015-02-03T15:32:57.003-06:002015-02-03T15:32:57.003-06:00Hell, I thought he was still in Chicago :::blush::...Hell, I thought he was still in Chicago :::blush:::Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-391395468207351472015-02-03T15:31:41.428-06:002015-02-03T15:31:41.428-06:00He's one of those you love him or you hate him...He's one of those you love him or you hate him artists.

I'm not sure if the seller was aware how in-demand the card seems to be.<br /><br />I'm glad you liked the extras I sent along with the main attraction. One of the things that keeps me from trading as often as I'd like is the fear that the person on the other end won't like what I've sent.<br /><br />The A & G minis are from a custom set made by a friend of the Nachos Grande blog in the style of 2008 Allen & Ginter, so they aren't official Topps A & G cards. Bob Dylan just happened to make it onto the checklist. There are a few variations in the set, including the Machado background variation.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-64993808752511301312015-02-03T08:23:32.211-06:002015-02-03T08:23:32.211-06:00Those are some nice cards, and congrats on finding...Those are some nice cards, and congrats on finding that lost kicker.<br /><br />Bobby D!<br />As a Minnesotan, we claim Bob Dylan as a native son. My mom and her friend have been crazy about Dylan and all things Dylan since the 1960s. <br />"Blood on the Tracks" and "Bringing it All Back Home" are my favorite albums. That's pretty cool that he's got an A&G card.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03580716283983922689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-21994988360568822112015-02-03T08:01:23.267-06:002015-02-03T08:01:23.267-06:00Thru the years my league has been a great way to k...Thru the years my league has been a great way to keep up with my college friends (this was pre-Facebook LOL). Playing with friends makes it good. Playing in some anonymous online league with guys you don't know is not much fun.<br /><br /><br />Football is pretty easy. You spend a few minutes a week and you're done. I tried fantasy baseball. It was like taking on a second job. You have to work it seven days a week relentlessly.<br /><br />I think you've hit on one of the great charms of Japanese cards, btw.<br /><br />Commishbobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069472376708715755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-63336764609110630572015-02-03T07:14:23.489-06:002015-02-03T07:14:23.489-06:00Congrats on getting that one!

The only fantasy sports I do is dream about cards I can't afford, lol. <br /><br />It always strikes me as interesting/funny when the Japanese market cards have random words in English, and all the team names/logos are not in Japanese. But then again I find strange things funny.Billy Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847326710191224832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550073840562722051.post-54446658332393549812015-02-02T22:47:17.865-06:002015-02-02T22:47:17.865-06:00I'm happy you got the Cortez, but I'm far ...I'm happy you got the Cortez, but I'm far more interested in the Japanese cards.<br /><br />I wonder if that Buehrle is the only one to show him actually wearing a Marlins uniform (as opposed to being photoshopped into one).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
