Flea Market Finds #9: Sixth Binder Page

Back with another binder page ready to go!

1980 topps Dwight Evans, Dale Murphy, Mets team card, Andre Dawson, Dave Kingman/Gorman Thomas '79 HR Leaders, Dave Steib RC(!), Carlton Fisk, Yaz/Lou Brock '79 Highlights (3000 Hits), 1979 topps Mark Fidrych

Why Purchased: An entire page of almost vintage stars of the day and Hall of Famers, duh.

Keepers: Definitely Andre Dawson and maybe Kingman/Gorman Thomas (though I will part with it for the right offer).

Notes: The negativity and/or wangst of Mets twitterers make it seem like they haven’t won a game at all this year, but… well, okay they are tied for the second worst record in the NL (at 12-18), but that’s only 6 games under .500 right now.  To read twitter makes it sound like they’ve already been mathematically eliminated from pennant contention though.  That’s Cubbie territory, dammit!  Quit stealing our gimmick!

…

Wait, no.  Actually, y’all can have it.  I refuse to be a negative bum, wallowing in mediocrity and negativity.  I want a f***ing winner, dammit! (Gee, I sure do rant a lot these days…)

Not a whole lot of star power on that Home Run Leaders card huh?  At least not these days.  They are both kinda forgotten.

Also, I keep having to remind myself that the Brewers used to be in the American League.

Another rookie of a non-Hall of Famer that was a star of his day.

The Lou Brock reminds me that cards of him in a Cubs uniform just upset me…

Mind-Blowing Statistics: Nothing much coming to mind, so we’ll go with Lou & Yaz both getting their 3000th hit in 1979 I guess.

Thanks for reading!

Dale Murphy should probably be a Hall of Famer…

Bumping Up

The Yankee Stadium Legacy and Yankees have been moved up in The Great Cardening of 2009. This is because I am lazy and haven’t finished sorting the Brewers yet. As of now they will be up 4th, with YSL’s second and Yankees third.

The Phils will be up first on Monday night.

Shoutouts #5

Let’s get right to it, shall we?

Shoutout to the ladies of Dinged Corners.  I officially can’t find the bubble mailer with your address on it.  If you’d be so kind to email it to me, I’ll have your ridiculously huge lot of cards on their way by this time next week, if not sooner.

Shoutout to Bailey of The Nennth Inning.  The cards you sent arrived safely a day or two ago.  A Sweet Spot Josh Beckett jersey, a Ryne Sandberg Masterpieces SP and a Bowman Chrome Carlos Zambrano X-Fractor, correct?  Thanks much, btw.  I’m very pleased on multiple levels.

Cheese and Beer, the Prince Fielder and Corey Hart are all yours.

Shoutout to who it may concern.  The defending champion Philadelphia Phillies will be up first in the The Great Cardening of 2009.  Look for that this weekend probably.

And when that one is completed, we’ll go on to the hated minorly annoying division rival Milwaukee Brewers.  I actually do find them fairly enjoyable to watch, but I have no need for my damaged Prince Fielder jersey or any other Brewers cards any longer.

My Yankee Stadium Legacy cards will be up third, and the regular Yankees demanded to bat cleanup in a fit of roid rage.

Ooh, topical.

Also to who it may concern, my official Want List is up.  Hopefully this will help in the great Cardening.

Is that it?… I think it is.  No more shoutouts today.  Sorry.
