It's been a long time since I've done a blog contest. The last one I did was in 2018. So with Opening Day just a few weeks away, how about another?
As many of you know, I like to take baseball card scraps and turn them into some sort of craft or artwork. I don't know why, but I've always hated to throw away baseball card packaging.
One of my favorite items made from recycled packaging are my custom, handmade bookmarks. I'm honestly not sure if anyone even uses bookmarks in 2020, but they look pretty cool:
See? These are made with actual wax wrappers from each product.
They would fit nicely in your favorite baseball book. That's where the contest comes in! The winner will receive one of my bookmarks of their choice!
Details:
Only one entry per person. All you have to do below is comment with what your favorite baseball book is. That's it! No problem if there are repeats on the list. Hopefully you'll share some that aren't too common and others will be inspired to read it too.
Contest ends Sunday, March 15 at 11:59pm PT. I'll then take all the entrants and randomly choose a winner.
I guess I need to share my favorite baseball book too, right? I don't have a no-doubt favorite book, but one that I've read in the last few years and really enjoyed is The Baby Bombers by Bryan Hoch, which details the Yankees newish approach over the last few years of developing talent and building a team that is on the cusp of a championship. What this book doesn't account for is all of those players getting hurt!
Anyways, looking forward to seeing what you all choose. Thanks for participating!
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.
