Prize from Cards That Never Were

 Cards That Never Were held a contest recently and I was one of the lucky winners.  I won this 1982 Fleer inspired prospects card with Wade Boggs and Ryne Sandberg.  Cards like this are great because when you look back this is definitely a card we'd want to see.  And boom...here it is.  The card is great. The card stock is very sturdy and similar to a regular card.  The back of the card also gets a nice treatment which is the topping on the cake.  He has also started selling customs on eBay.  The link to his seller profile is here.  He's on Twitter at @CardsThatNever  Wanted to show off this really cool card and say thanks to Cards That Never Were. 

Padrographs Contest Haul

So I along with others won cards in the contest held by Rod over at Padrographs.  I was able to pick up this Troy Tulowitzki Upper Deck Dated Debut card #/999.  I know he has fallen on hard times of late but he sure was fun to watch during his time in Colorado and I was happy to pick up this nice looking card.  But it didn't stop there...

 Rod threw in some "extra" cards which ended up totaling approximately 145 cards which were almost all Red Sox.  So much fun running through all the cards.  Big Papi is one of my favorite Red Sox of all-time so it was fun seeing him well represented.

 Everything from Topps, to Bowman, Bowman Chrome, Topps Archives, Big League Baseball, Upper Deck, Fleer, Donruss, Gypsy Queen, Gallery and more were a part of the package.  Love Pedro and I love Manny being Manny.

Great cards continue to include a certain World Series MVP.  

I really enjoy seeing these greats from years gone by on wax.

Some of the current players and young players in the organization to include my first minor league Red Sox card.

Rod also sent along three wax packs which are always fun to open.  Pedro was the big hit here in one of his first cards.  Again this is a small sampling of Rod's generosity.  Thank you Rod - I love the cards.
