Today's chart looks a little different than the last one.<br />
If you missed it, see my <a href="http://baseballdad-mytribeblog.blogspot.com/2015/02/ok.html" target="_blank">last post</a> for all the details. <br />
<br />
Adding inserts, subsets and parallels to the mix makes it a little more like what I expected, although I am still not happy with my Indian results.<br />
<br />
The Yankees. You either love 'em or hate 'em.<br />
But even though they are not the dominate team they once were, they were such a juggernaut back in Casey's days, they still get a lot of respect.<br />
<br />
If you are a fan of Oakland, Milwaukee or the White Sox, then your luck really sucks ! Nothing but base cards for those three teams.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
26 6 20 N.Y. Yankees<br />
25 9 16 Boston<br />
23 9 14 N.Y. Mets<br />
21 7 14 San Francisco<br />
21 9 12 Baltimore<br />
20 8 12 Arizona<br />
19 8 11 Miami<br />
19 9 10 Minnesota<br />
19 9 10 Seattle<br />
18 6 12 L.A. Dodgers<br />
18 11 7 Colorado<br />
17 6 11 Atlanta<br />
17 8 9 K.C.<br />
17 8 9 Tampa Bay<br />
16 3 13 Cincinnatti<br />
16 5 11 Pittsburgh<br />
16 7 9 L.A. Angels<br />
15 5 10 Philadelohia<br />
15 7 8 Washington<br />
14 6 8 San Diego<br />
13 6 7 Oakland ( no inserts or parallels )<br />
13 6 7 Texas<br />
12 1 11 Toronto<br />
12 6 6 Milwaukee ( no inserts or parallels )<br />
11 3 8 Detroit<br />
10 1 9 Cleveland<br />
10 3 7 Chi. Cubs<br />
7 1 6 Houston<br />
7 1 6 St. Louis<br />
6 3 3 Chi, WS ( no inserts or parallels )<br />
<br />

These are the Indian base cards I pulled with only one duplicate of Kipnis ( 2 base and 1 foil )<br />

Martinez 1st HR, Feller highlight Kluber wins leader and Brantley 3rd in BA.<br />
I didn't count Brantly as an Indian card. I only counted the actual leader in my list.<br />

Ok. here is the final tally for the base cards !<br />
First number is the total cards, second number is<br />
duplicates and third number is unique cards.<br />
<br />
I realize this is a very small sampling from one northern Ohio city right on the edge of a frozen lake in the middle of February, so it not necessarily representative of Topps' overall collation. But from the comments, I don't think it is much better in any other areas !<br />
<br />
The Mets are on top, good call to <a href="http://thelostcollector.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Lost Collector !</a>,<br />
but look at Cincinnati, way down in the middle.<br />
They are in 4th place in unique cards !<br />
<br />
I thought St Louis would have a better showing while the World Series teams had almost 50% dupes.<br />
<br />
If I was a set collector I'd be pretty bummed out.<br />
394 base cards with 169 duplicates.<br />
<br />
In the next couple of days I will be mixing in the inserts,<br />
subsets and parallels to see what kind of difference that makes !<br />
<br />

There were a lot of things going on in 2014. Not bad things, just things ! I really never had the time to sit down and keep up the ole' blog like I should have. But I think I'm ready to come back in full force now, although I feel like a rookie. I have many trade packages to get out and several to post. Even though I wasn't posting much, I still got packages in the mail. It's just such a great blogging community !</div>

Here you see my 2015 Topps supply. A Target blaster, hanger box, rack pack, jumbo pack and regular pack. A Walmart blaster, hanger box and rack pack and a Toys R Us rack pack and regular pack. Our Walmart doesn't have regular packs. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The two stacks in back are all the base cards sorted into team piles. The stacks in front are inserts, subsets and misc. I never think I get enough Indian cards for my location and maybe the card companies don't take that into consideration anyway. If not they should ! I would buy more if I thought the chances of getting cards from my local team were greater. But are they ? I'm about to find out and tell the whole world. Or at least the few people who read my humble scribblings.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What do you reader(s) think ? What team got the most cards ? ( not my Indians !!) Who got the least ? The results may surprise you ! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I may even make this a sort of contest. Let's see what kind of feedback I get !! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My next post will have all the pertinent results. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I know I have " Lost in Space " for quite some time now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I have actually been working on getting my collection more organized and creating more accurate want lists. I also owe a lot of packages and will sending out a lot of cards after the first of the year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
By the way, next year may be a memorable one for me. I hope to retire at the end of next year !!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One note to <a href="http://playattheplatedude.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Play at the Plate</a>. The box of cards you sent blew me away and I will get a post on them soon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For Now,</div>

<br />
I'm a die-hard Indians fan but I still want it.<br />
<br />
Even my wife knew I would, she bought it for me !<br />
(Love you dear !)<br />
Today was her day off so she went shopping with her girlfriend. <br />
<br />
Both of our sons may want it but they will have to fight over it when I'm gone.<br />
<br />
So what would <i>you</i> do with something like this if you didn't want it ? <br />
<br />
Well, you could just throw it in the trash.<br />
<br />
You could give it to a deserving baseball fan.<br />
<br />
Of course, you could sell it.<br />
<br />
Or you could let someone sell it for you.<br />
<br />
Like Goodwill Industries.<br />
<br />
If you know me you should have known where this was headed !<br />

Well, the Tribe just finished up the 2014 season with a W and baseball is done for this year.<br />
<br />
What's that ? There are more games ?<br />
<br />
Oh, yeah, that World Series thing. I<i> will</i> watch some of it. Probably not all and I don't know who I'm rooting for yet. I'll wait and see what teams make the finals.<br />
<br />
Now I can spend a little more time concentrating on this very neglected blog.<br />
I have to get my desk cleaned up so here are the highlights of three packages.<br />
<br />
First up is Nick from <a href="http://baseballdimebox.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><i>Dime Boxes</i></a>.<br />

I do have the Leon Wagner from this 1965 insert set,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but the one Nick sent is definitely an upgrade. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Romano is new to me and I also have Jack Kralick,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but could use an upgrade for him also.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still need Alvis, Hinton and Colavito.</div>

see how many players I never heard of before.<br />

When I was young kid I wanted some of these cards sooo bad !<br />
One of my friends got some from out of town<br />
but the store here in New London didn't carry them.<br />
<br />
I now have 7 of 20 Indians from the set.<br />
Anybody have Bob Feller ??!!<br />

Lot of things going on. Tribe is making their move toward the World Series. My son and his family is moving back home from Illinois. He is taking a sports writer position with the Ashland Times Gazette. Only 30 minutes from here, that's makes Grandma and Grandpa very happy !!<br />
<br />
My desk and whole baseball room is in shambles right now, from lack of attention. I need to get on track and get back to work so I have to clear away the trade packages and get other packages sent out.<br />
<br />
So from Adam, at <a href="http://mycardboardmistress.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">My Cardboard Mistress</a> , I present these great Tribe cards.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I guess this doesn't really look so strange, huh ?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, it does say ' Special Edition ' !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And all the way from Portugal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yep, Ana Lu sent me this 1995 Collector's Choice pack that was destined for a Cleveland Indians fan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's what was inside.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh, wait.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's only seven cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The wrapper says twelve cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And isn't that last one from 1998 ?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How could that be in a 1995 pack ?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You don't think dear, sweet Ana Lu</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
would set me up do you ?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But now that I think about it,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the pack did open up pretty easily !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hey, thanks Ana, for the great cards !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did need some of the Special Editions ! </div>

I have mixed emotions about it, but I am not of American Indian descent, and may feel differently if I was.It would be nice if they could modify the image somehow to make it acceptable to both sides.<br />
<br />
Logo cards have long been part of our cardboard baseball team collections and here are few of mine.<br />
<br />

When I started this blog 5 1/2 years ago, I never dreamed it would add so many new friends and Indian baseball cards to my life. My many thanks to all of you !!<br />
<br />
<br />
I don't really like to combine trade posts, but I have received so many packages lately that I need to, to get caught up. I have a huge stack of Tribe cards I need to sort and put away so I can update want lists and continue to work on return packages ! All the generous bloggers and readers listed here sent many more cards than pictured. I appreciate every one of them, but just don't have time to post each one.

I once made a random comment on another blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A.J. had received some nice vintage cards from Mark,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I, half jokingly, said " I wonder if he has any Indians !".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next thing I know I'm receiving an email from Mark !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And he did have some duplicate Indians.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks Mark !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This really helped my 70's collection !</div>

Tom sent a note on the back of his business card :</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"We haven't traded in a while.."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's right. There are so many blogs out there,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's hard for an old man like me to keep track !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Terrific Albert Belle, minis and more Bob Feller !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And a Brantley partial rainbow, </div>

even if they are different years !</div>

I pulled the trigger when he put up a Richie Ashburn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't really collect him, but I have a </div>

Richie Ashburn model baseball glove from my youth,</div>

high end wrappers and small boxes though. </div>

Dan sent a nice assortment of Tribe cards.<br />
I especially like the chrome Kipnis.<br />
He's becoming one of my favorite players.<br />

Brad and I have done several trades over the past year or so.<br />
He came up with some great inserts, a slightly hard to find mini,<br />
a great Standing "O" Vizquel and I love the Prizm Bourn !<br />

Thanks Brad !<br />

And thanks everyone for all the trades.<br />

I admit I tried to make the picture a little dramatic.<br />
But it is almost 6" high.<br />
<br />
Granted, it is mostly commons, but how many times have you overlooked a common card at a show and then got home and discovered you needed it ?<br />
<br />
Here are a few samples. <br />

The Sandy Alomar Christie Brinkley is nice. <br />

and I already have Thome.<br />

I'm not telling !<br />
<br />
It's not that I don't want to tell.<br />
I don't know !<br />
<br />
There was nothing inside or outside of the box to indicate who sent it.<br />
<br />
It was post marked in Resaca, Ga.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure but I suspect Jinxo56 from<br />
<i><b> <a href="http://wantedbaseballcards.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Wanted : Baseball Cards</a></b></i><br />
<br />
He and I have been discussing a trade.<br />
<br />
But whoever sent them, thank you very much !!<br />
<br />
<br />
I also got a package yesterday.<br />
<br />
This one had a return address!<br />
<br />
Matt, from <i><b> <a href="http://bobwalktheplank.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Bob Walk the Plank</a></b></i> told me he had a 2014 Donruss Jason Kipnis.<br />
Of course I said "I'll take it !"<br />
<br />
He also thought he may have some Indian game used.<br />
This is what he found. <br />

Or, in the case of you set builders, complete sets.<br />
<br />
Most base team sets are pretty easy to come by via packs, blasters and all the great blogger trades.<br />
<br />
However, some of the parallel sets are a little tougher.<br />
The 2012 Topps Cognac (sparkle or whatever you want to call it) set was no exception, although not as tough as some.<br />
<br />
I recently found a listing on ebay for 11 of these cards<br />
( 1 duplicate - US121 Johnny Damon ) and won it for less than $5 !<br />
<br />

<br />
You hear about them.<br />
<br />
You see them on other blogs.<br />
<br />
You wonder " Will I ever get one !? "<br />
<br />
Over the years I've been lucky enough to get three of them.<br />
All from retail packs.<br />
<br />
My first came in 2001, from Donruss.<br />
<br />
Three days ago was the 40th anniversary of one of this guy's greatest achievements.<br />
715 HR's. <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
If I remember correctly,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was supposed to get some rookie card.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For some reason it wasn't available</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
and I received this instead.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I don't remember complaining too much !</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">

When I first pulled the redemption card,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had no idea who she was.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It didn't take much research to figure it out.</div>

Ebay and other sports card dealers on the internet have definitely lowered card values and hurt local card shops over the years. There will always be changes, as technology advances, with no sign of slowing down.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Is that a good thing or bad ? Well, it all depends on which side of the technology you are on.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you were a blacksmith in the 1890's, you were on the verge of losing your job to automobiles and mechanized farm equipment. If you were a file clerk or key punch operator in the 1960's, you would lose your job to a computer. If you were a photo processor in the early 1980's, you would lose your job to digital cameras. The list goes on and on and will continue until who knows when. Just like the song by Zager and Evans<b>, </b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izQB2-Kmiic" target="_blank">In the Year<b> </b></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" target="_blank">2525</a>. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You have to adapt. You have to be able to see which way your industry and customers are moving and try to keep one step ahead. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Card shop owners can move their inventories online, but the prices aren't likely to come back to what they were in the 1980's and 90's. Oh, there will always be some cards that command higher prices, but buyers have so many options now and it's so easy to search so many different venues for the lowest price.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My two sons and I never had access to a local card shop. The closest thing we experienced was the card shows at the local shopping malls. Which, of course, are on the verge of becoming extinct also. There are a few that still seem to thrive, but not in our area. There are some flea markets around also. That is another option.</div>
<br />
Life is just moving too fast and everyone wants everything to be too easy !<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ok, off my soap box and back on to my comfy swivel chair. Back to the computer, to show you the Indian cards I purchased online, so you wouldn't have to drive clear to Ohio to see them ! ( not that you would anyway !) </div>
<br />

No, this has nothing to do with Ozzie Smith.<br />
<br />
My wife loves the movie "The Wizard of Oz".<br />
<br />
Cliff, over at the Phillies/Astros blog known as<a href="http://capewood.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> <b><i>Capewood's Collections</i></b></a>, is also a Facebook friend of mine.<br />
<br />
He showed a Wizard of Oz playbill, from a theater he went to, so I asked if he could get me an extra one for my wife. He was more than happy to send one and also included a stack of Indian cards !<br />
<br />
Here are a few of my favorites :<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE10UXdz51TWpNz5gGyntpa-Y40adJa190qpLrLLD4-c-spLinXGjmeUqCdw3tRMvhI3C2zlVaYrqYfB1NoiDLeaj5xIdphq3MrxP1SQhE2F73bqM7ugr9cEKnJUyhhkhxn5kKCsWafD8/s1600/PHILLIE+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE10UXdz51TWpNz5gGyntpa-Y40adJa190qpLrLLD4-c-spLinXGjmeUqCdw3tRMvhI3C2zlVaYrqYfB1NoiDLeaj5xIdphq3MrxP1SQhE2F73bqM7ugr9cEKnJUyhhkhxn5kKCsWafD8/s1600/PHILLIE+1.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This card is strange in so many ways.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, the look on his face.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Playing "air guitar" on his kayak paddle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I assume the black around his face and chin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is part of his kayak gear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The whole kayak outfit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not making fun of the guy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sure you have to very physically fit, skillful and well trained to be a champion of his caliber.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe if he was pictured with his craft......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of the above is why I really like this card !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After all these years, I'm finally starting</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to really <i>look</i> at my cards ! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't think I ever did that enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now here are some serious looks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, a couple oldies, 1987 Fleer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If the blue on Carmon Castillo's border</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
looks darker, it's because it is a glossy version.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, one more time !!</div>

<br />
It's no secret that I love Good Will stores.<br />
Over the years I have found some very different and interesting baseball items.<br />
<br />
This is one of the real oddball pieces !<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Obviously, the card caught my eye first, until I realized it wasn't a real baseball card.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then, seeing the words LAM- IN-ATE, I had to check it out.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All the time I was thinking " Who would want to laminate their baseball cards?"</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The instructions make it much more sensible. The card goes into a pocket and the lamination only seals the edges. Now it does make some sense, as you get get your card back out completely unharmed.</div>

<br />
There are four kits in the package and I really want to open it to see if there is anything on the back of the generic card, but I just can't do it !<br />
<br />
I couldn't find any information on this item anywhere. Don't know when it was made or how much it cost originally. I paid 49 cents.<br />
<br />
Anyone ever seen these before ?<br />

I'll try to get this one right.<br />
<br />
I was very politely informed that my last trade post was in error.<br />
<br />
Old Foul Cardboard sent some 2014 Topps cards that apparently got lost on my desk. He says the cards I posted were not from him ! I'm working on getting that straightened out.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile I'll try this again !<br />
<br />
<br />
Mark from,<i> <b><a href="http://marksephemera.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Mark's Ephemera</a></b></i>, send a PWE with a couple Fleer cards.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are from the 1994 Extra Bases set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cards measure 2 1/2 x 4 11/16 so they are awkward to store, although, 6 cards fit nicely in the bottom two rows of a standard page. There are 16 Indians in the base set #'s 55-70.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still need 56,58,59,61,62,64,67, 69 and 70.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(in case you have any odd ones lying around !)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
20 years ago yesterday, Jim and fellow pitcher Tin Crews</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
died in a tragic boating accident during spring training.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The 1992 Fleer card I had.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The 1992 Topps Gold I needed !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I had the Gold Winner's version, but not the base gold)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have the 1992 Upper Deck, but wait, as I flip the card</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
over, this is a gold hologram version, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
found only in factory sets !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm now down to needing only 18 of 67 Steve Olin cards !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this PWE is looking pretty good so far.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next a couple Jim Thome cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do have these two from the beginning of his career.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it never hurts to have more Thome cards !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now it gets more interesting !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Four Auto's I did not have !!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2003 Bowman Jeremy Guthrie, on card, Signs of the Future</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2010 Panini Joe Gardner Extra Edition 637/819</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2010 Bowman Brett Brach</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1996 Leaf Wayne Kirby, on card</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Technically, the Wayne Kirby is a Dodger card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But he is in an Indian uniform !</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

First a Travis Hafner Fathead<br />

I also have quite a few to trade if anyone is interested.<br />

<br />
At first I thought, a Padres card ?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu0_VnOdDyZa0yqyDy9yKLJKJopsw81bINwlftkPpIuMpzszWz0hJ2jX6b0Jl_niIk0_fkdS8EUH6tdVAY8g-rmrXbHS5yMpJe4_KhoS-pPft4Bi3lYJMiNSbzOTEBROZH27dj9ZUQ2wg/s1600/chunter+5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu0_VnOdDyZa0yqyDy9yKLJKJopsw81bINwlftkPpIuMpzszWz0hJ2jX6b0Jl_niIk0_fkdS8EUH6tdVAY8g-rmrXbHS5yMpJe4_KhoS-pPft4Bi3lYJMiNSbzOTEBROZH27dj9ZUQ2wg/s1600/chunter+5.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I looked closer.<br />
Still not sure it qualifies as an Indian card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC_FqdTff9r8cg7QXq7Lyx06N0lh_rcRMTO-0TYVp3rCzpUthoRimfEGZOYd_omom0u4vy6aijz2AxGBGRVLXkp70q-ZF4cA-YuYqyUHPNVktfYqnkkwSibyveO3H-VeyYTf3yPMB2eZE/s1600/chunter+6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC_FqdTff9r8cg7QXq7Lyx06N0lh_rcRMTO-0TYVp3rCzpUthoRimfEGZOYd_omom0u4vy6aijz2AxGBGRVLXkp70q-ZF4cA-YuYqyUHPNVktfYqnkkwSibyveO3H-VeyYTf3yPMB2eZE/s1600/chunter+6.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Some various rainbows.<br />
Always nice to add these !<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkbomh0jp_KKrruT_6MflK7M5Wdnm6b5zHGOkOd4bDEmaWHCxL6QhlKAlqSeIMK-mCM5Q58xjy2soWLILQ_DQfVldIqqoTV8atToaqoQWeok0i4FvAnmIpIgs7FryVSGguH-Q8Z7N4oWI/s1600/chunter+7.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkbomh0jp_KKrruT_6MflK7M5Wdnm6b5zHGOkOd4bDEmaWHCxL6QhlKAlqSeIMK-mCM5Q58xjy2soWLILQ_DQfVldIqqoTV8atToaqoQWeok0i4FvAnmIpIgs7FryVSGguH-Q8Z7N4oWI/s1600/chunter+7.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And then the Metal !<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm8eqUHn0F6bI9T_F7b1880Kk6TnP5lRhnq1bC9B1bGJg92hpk8ck01XkzgNlf0yUTwQmGwq5fjHmu0SPUN6nGo8ZD7UP8-QbJYgYKAmC49FHb4wqLNj-XQd1CW39hrw4n2H78R3CYLLc/s1600/chunter+8.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm8eqUHn0F6bI9T_F7b1880Kk6TnP5lRhnq1bC9B1bGJg92hpk8ck01XkzgNlf0yUTwQmGwq5fjHmu0SPUN6nGo8ZD7UP8-QbJYgYKAmC49FHb4wqLNj-XQd1CW39hrw4n2H78R3CYLLc/s1600/chunter+8.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And more Metal.<br />
<br />
I always liked Metal Universe,<br />
although I like the earlier years better<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
