New IceCats Part 1: My Own Custom and Scratch!

Some of you might have felt let down by the last name added to my list, since Doug Fister is fairly well known and not as obscure as some past great name nominees. So today I thought I’d bring you a player with a shorter, much less recent career – Al…

My 200th Seneca Wallace card came in the mail a few days ago. This is awesome for several reasons:1. My initial goal for 2011 was to boost my Seneca Master Set to 100 cards. 100 was passed around March, so I kicked that goal’s butt!2. Seneca only has…
