Here comes some new trade bait for all of you, courtesy of a great draft that was held over at the great Jaybarlerfan's Junk. Wes generously held a draft that was free, and offered some fantastic pakages and small groups of cards.
When he first announced his draft I thought it would be fairly simple to get in since there were plenty of spots and all we had to do was post a comment and then get picked up by the randomizer. It didn't take too many missed rounds for me to realize every blogger around me was getting into the draft, but I was still on the outside.
The entry selection process started to dwindle to the last 5 spaces and I started to feel like I might not make it. Quick enough there were only 3 slots remaining, then 2, and then only one - and I STILL wasn't in! As Vinny says, I was down to my last strike, and then the draft gods smiled upon me. BANG! I nailed the last slot and I was in. Wahoo!
Wes ran a fun and easy draft, and my prizes arrived just the other day. I won the "Moonshots" package. Presenting the loot...
Let's lead off with former Dodger backstop Paul Lo Duca. Why is he trade bait? I only want my Dodgers with Dodger gear, thank you. That said, the awesome action photo really makes it a great card for a Lo Duca or Marlin collector.
Speaking of players whom I don't normally collect, but are featured on great looking cardboard, we get the Big Unit on a very handsome card - Numbered 411/799
How about this sweet card? If nobody wants to trade I will be perfectly happy to keep this All-Star game - HOME RUN DERBY WORN relic in my collection. This card is bad-ass...
Speaking of bad-ass, the final card is the one Wes named the group of cards after. It's a Shawn Green relic. Yes, its got a generic scoreboard in the graphi, but I really dig this design. The photo works great and the swatch blends in seamlessly with everything else.
That's all for today folks. Thanks for reading.
