During the course of my ten years of trading sports cards on the Internet I have encountered many situations where a party to a trade negotiation gets upset or offended at an offer made by the other party. often these negotiations deteriorate into an acrimonious back and forth of name calling.

I was presently surprised to find a package in the mail recently from Paul over at Phungo. I’ve avoided contacting Paul recently because I am still a little mad that my favorite active pitcher is now the ace of his favorite team, the Phillies. If you’re a Marlins fan, there is still a handful of us left, [...]

You just came back from the hobby shop after buying a box of basketball cards. You frantically rip open the box to see what kind of hits you get. You pull a couple of game-used jerseys from Eddie House and Jordan Farmar. You pull an autograph of Troy Murphy. Nothing worth bragging [...]

Congratulations to Joe Ranyak, who scored a 10 last week to Beat the Blogger’s total
of 4 and beat the field to win this week’s contest.
This week’s matchups are posted below and all are Super Bowl related to help
you get ready for the big game. So make sure you get your picks posted before the
start of Sunday’s game to be eligible to a win. If we can get more than 200 contestants
this week I’ll give away 4 autographed photos and one box of Upper Deck Football
Heroes trading cards to one lucky winner.
Copy and paste our link and send it to your friends on Facebook, Twitter and
anywhere else so they can be a part of the action and we can boost our total list
of contestants, http://blog.tuffstuff.com/7thinning/
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 will be posted
later today so make sure you check back and 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.

of 6 and won by virtue of her tie-breaker pick.
This week’s matchups will be posted below shortly so make sure check back and you

Thanks to all that played and thanks for recruiting some newcomers as well. Let’s

In 1968, Johnny Bench became the first catcher to win the Rookie of the Year Award.
**factoid courtesy of ‘Armchair Reader – Grand Slam Baseball’
My take – While not a staggering trivia question, I still find this quite a surprise considering that some of the sport’s greatest catchers debuted before Bench. A truly remarkable feat by him, [...]

I’m picking the cards I write about randomly, which is why I’ve had the spectacular luck of pulling two checklists in the first 40 cards I’ve documented. Any time you can get a checklist that’s in good shape and isn’t marked off you’re doing pretty good, so I was fortunate to acquire this card. But [...]

Last year, I did a series of posts on the 20 rookies that I think will make an impact in the upcoming baseball season. This off course was a rip-off of Donruss’s Rated Rookies from the 80s-90s. For this series I felt it best to focus only on players who will either arrive this season [...]
