Hilariously, John also included this note: "The Mantle is because of the condition of the Bowman card, and the Mattingly is because of ARod." I laughed.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.

Vintage contest winnings from Johnny's Trading Spot
Back in late December, Johnny from Johnny's Trading Spot held a contest for a vintage Bowman card. He played a blaster wars between three blasters, and all you had to do was comment on which you thought was the best and why. I was lucky enough to won, and he's my prize:
Nice! A well-loved 1951 Johnny Wyrostek. Condition doesn't bother me. I love owning old cards. Wyrostek played on a few different teams over the course of his war-interrupted career. He was actually a 2-time all-star with the Reds in 1950 and '51.

Thanks for the contest, John. If you haven't checked out his blog yet, do so.
