The TOPPS Million Giveaway cards have arrived (the horror)

I knew that ordering these cards from the TOPPS's Million Card giveaway promotion was going to be a big risk. I did not expect to see mint cards by any means (it's topps-what would you expect) and I was really expecting to get cards that looked like they were in the spokes of my children's bikes. Truthfully I didn't know what to think considering some of the horror stories/pictures that I've seen on different blogs and how some of the cards that arrived shouldn't even be called cards because they looked so mangled up. Here's what the "butcher shop" sent me:

The 1955 Gene Conley card is in poor condition to say the least thanks to some horrible corners and off centering and a crease mark in the card. No way this card was in a vault. The 1957 Mike Fornieles is horribly off centered with wellllllllllllllllllllllllllll rounded corners.

1972 Ollie Brown is in fair condition. I'd say the 1968 Bill white has some better centering but once again the corners are killers!

MY MAIN MAN HOJO is horribly off centered. As for the 1972 Angel Mangual it's corners are bad.

The 1974 Willie Crawford has off centering issues. The 1976 Larry Dierker isn't too bad. once again rough corners.

The 1971 Danny Combs is in fair condition but rough on the corners. The 1967 Mayo Smith is off centered.

It was $10.00 for shipping everything out.

What say you?

Ravishing Relics

This is one of the cards that I am giving away to one of you....the readers.....the fellow hobby mates....the ones who dare travel the paths not knowing what's ahead while slipping on a red star trek designed shirt.

Notice the stitching holes on the piece. I wonder where this section came from.

4,000 and still going.....

Wow....I have surpassed 4,000 hits. I am really amazed at that cause I figured by now I'd have like 20 or 30 views at the most. So in honor of this achievement here is a picture of something with 4000 on it (and no I don't endorse DW products cause I am a TAMA lover...besides iron cobras are much better...and yes I'll stir up the bee's nest with that comment).
