Thanks again David for the the box break and the great cards !
After a casual comment to Bud at First Day Issue, to welcome him to the blogosphere, I mentioned that I would be interested in trading Indian cards for Mariners. Well, after a couple emails I received this box in the mail !!Over 300 Tribe cards !!!
After a quick glance through the box there are many I know I need.I will have a separate post on this later. Also have a package from the Great White North.I'll showcase Capt. Canuck's goodies later also. He seems to be tied up with football right now. Or at least the cheerleaders!
And then, a collage of other great cards !
It was fun, but I got way behind on posting trades and other meaningful "stuff". I will try to catch up and hope I don't forget anyone. If I do, I'm very sorry, I really appreciate everything everyone has sent to me and it was all GREAT !!

I added some extra cards to each team pack. ( My wife seems to think I have too many cards, I just don't understand !) Everyone will receive approx. 70-80 cards for each team they picked.They will be mostly commons, picked at random from various years, for the same team you picked.
Once again, thanks to everyone who participated and I hope all will be satisfied !
On to Cardboard Mania. It may a little sporadic at times, as he is pretty busy with other concerns, but he hopes to post on at least a semi-regular basis. Reading this blog is what gave me the incentive to start my own, so if you don't like my work, blame him ! Be easy on him though as he is my son . He has made us very proud with his accomplishments so far and I'm sure he will continue to do so. You can also see his work here : BGSU.
Well that's the end ! I have been typing most of the day and there probably some errors, although I hope not too many! There were alot of dupes in this box,but there are only 132 cards in this set. I will get everything sorted out this next week and in the mail. Thanks to all who participated !
I will now continue with the 1992 packs.
I'm asking only $4.00 per team,$7.00 for two teams. Only $2.00 for Diamondbacks or Rockies !! ( I may take them myself ) Actually ,if there ARE any Diamondbacks or Rockies, I AM keeping them !
You can pay with paypal @ randj531@yahoo.com , send a check, M.O. or hidden cash AT YOUR OWN RISK . Any checks will be dropped from 3 feet onto our hardwood floor. If it rebounds to my hand, don't hold your breath 'till you receive your cards!
There are 108 packs, so this will take some time,I never took typing in school.I am getting pretty good at hunt - and - peck though.I hope to start about 1PM EST on Sunday , 08/16/09.
Let the Game Begin !!
NOTICE: I wasn't going to mention this, it was going to be a surprise.You will probably find more than just OPC in your package, not earth shattering, but some nice surprises !
NEW NOTICE !!!!! I just discovered a slight error. There may be Colorado Rockies cards in the 1993 boxes. I had Marlins listed but not Rockies. If anyone wants the Rockies at any time ,they can have them for $3.00. Sorry for any inconvenience.

A lot of those who attend a show of that magnitude are searching for the latest boxes of new products, scarce auto or memorabilia cards, older cards to complete sets or a chance to get live autographs. Well, that all sounds good to me, but being on a limited budget my boys and I were in search of the bargain boxes. Toward the end of the day we found 3-4 tables of 5-cent boxes ! Most of these cards came from there and other ten-cent boxes.
I bought some of these cards for my sample collection and others with some of you readers in mind !
