Cardboard Countdown to Opening Day - Four Days to Go!

Aloha, everybody, 

Folks on Twitter are having fun counting down to Opening Day by showing photos of player's uniform numbers that match the number of days to go. 

 I figured I would take a crack at something like that and run an ATBATT countdown, showing cardboard that features the appropriate numbers.

 My criteria was the same as Twitter's; the number itself had to be visible. Little did I know how hard it would be to find a lot of cardboard in my collection that clearly showed the numbers I needed. I had to get creative on occasion.  

Lucky for me, I've got a few cards from the Duke of Flatbush...

See you all for Number 3. Aloha! 

Live Blogging Blaster Pack 1

A big "Sup, bro!" to Greg over at Plashke's.  Thanks for joining...

And away we gooo...

Here's hoping the first card out of the first pack is a harbinger of good things to come...

It's a miiiiiiiinnnnniiiiiii !

....and a real beauty at that.  I'm not a big fan of minis, but this little card got my eye right away.  First off, it's avery cool old-time player in an equally cool photo.  It looks like pre-game warmups are going on, but I do wonder if this particular shot was posed.   Either way, what a great card!

Poor Matt appears troubled.  Perhaps he can't remember if he turned off the water in the sink.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a great photo of Tom Terrific about to bring THE TRUTH !

Back to back Reds, and one is a RC. 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!! 

A cool card to close out with.  Again, I'm looking for  blaster box good luck mojo in this closing card of Jackie.

Pack 2 is a' comin'....
