It takes a lot to make a vintage baseball card unappealing to me. Not even this Nellie Fox, displaying its 58 years of age with rounded corners and evidence of having been pasted to a sheet of paper, and [...]

While their were many impressive posts this week, it all to a perfect card to win this week’s winner in the Beat
the Blogger contest. The Blogger posted a respectable score of 9 but it was no
match for John Karbowski, who picked each game correctly, hit on the doubler
for a perfect score of 11 and won by virtue of his tiebreaker prediction to win the
weekly prize.
With the number of weekly participants slipping a bit the last few weeks I’m making
a call to action to all of our regulars to do some recruiting. While more people
means more work for the Blogger and more people for the Blogger to go up against,
I welcome the challenge and offer this challenge to you: If each player can recruit
10 new players and we can boost the total to 200 or more, I’ll triple the weekly prize.
So spread the word about the contest to all your co-workers, family and friends
and meet that goal and boost the prize.
Copy and paste our link and send it to your friends so they can be a part of the action, http://blog.tuffstuff.com/7thinning/
This week’s winners are posted below and this week’s matchups are posted so
make sure you get your picks posted before the start of the first game to be eligible
to win this week’s prize. As always, good luck.
While I enjoy giving prizes to several people vs. having just one weekly winner, from
this point forward contestants will be asked to provide a tie-breaker on the week’s
last game so we narrow our winner down to one. Contestants will now b
e
asked to predict the total score from the last game on the list and the closest to
the actual score will be deemed the winner). I’ll also require contestants
to post their e-mail address with their picks so I can track down the winners
easier.
For those unfamiliar with the Beat the Blogger contest, the idea is simple.
The Blogger posts 10 matchups each week and then selects his choices for the winners
of those matchups. Contestants enter the Beat the Blogger contest by clicking on
the “Comment” section below the post with the matchups and then select their
own 10 winners. You can also designate one of your picks as a “Doubler” and
you will receive an extra point if you’re correct so don’t forget to designate your
“Doubler” pick and increase your chances of winning. If you Beat The Blogger’s
total and post the high score for the week, you win. The regular weekly
prize is an authentic signed 8-by-10 color photo of stars such as LaDainian
Tomlinson, Drew Brees, Marshall Faulk, Santonio Holmes, Gale Sayers, Catfish
Hunter and many more. From time to time, the Blogger will sweeten the pot for
the weekly contest so look for special prize packages.

1989 Topps Darryl Strawberry
I love this card. If I had to choose 1 card of Darryl that I own and could have signed, this would be the one.
A classic card design featuring a full-body action photo is all that it takes to make this collector happy. And the ‘89 Topps card does the job!!!
1989 was [...]
