This is a contest for Baltimore-area readers only
The decidedly non-baseball card blog Things I Adore is running one of the better contests you’re going to see.
The winner gets a free 30 minute extremities massage treatment from Claire Taylor Massage. What is an extremities treatment you say? Well you know how your hands can get tired after flipping through mountains of cards, or putting trade packages together? Or how blogging can zap the energy from your fingers? Or how your feet are tired and sore after a day of walking through a card show or flea market? Yeah, it’s for those.
Of course, the winner of the contest gets a fully-transferrable gift certificate, so even if you’re not in the market for a free massage, it’s not a bad gift for say, that girlfriend or wife who puts up with all of your card collecting antics year-round. Yes, that means you. You know that there’s a pile of cards on your table that she’s not bothering you about right now, but totally could. You owe her this.
So check out Things I Adore to enter and you (or that significant other of yours) will get 10% off of any massage treatment just for doing so.
*Yes, this is a post promoting my wife’s just-launched massage practice. This is what we do for our loved ones. You know what you could do for your loved one? Win him/her a massage. Just sayin’

1969 Topps Billy Williams – FINALLY
It feels like I have been chasing this card around for decades… I guess that is actually true since I started my Billy Williams collection when I was 14 years old.
Anyway, I have always loved the ‘69 Topps card of Williams. The man known for having one of the sweetest [...]

I love serial numbered cards more than almost anything – There’s just something cool about knowing you have something that was made in numbered, limited quantity. So I decided I’d officially add these cards to my list of collections as well.Any player…

For weeks, I’d been itching to get back to one of my local card shops to dig through their vintage bargain bins. The Topps Million Giveaway promotion has rejuvenated my love for the old, smelly cards. So instead of paying inflated prices for a cardboard lottery ticket hoping to get something made before 1970, I [...]
