Duke is everywhere

As a Syracuse fan, I've had a lot of Duke lately. Their football team beat us pretty good on Saturday. Then, our #1 nationally ranked soccer team beat Duke in the ACC Tournament yesterday.

And now, a contest for a different kind of Duke...Duke Snider! Robert over $30 A Week Habit is generously giving away the card above. Would be a great addition to Joey's HOF binder...so if you ended up winning instead of me, just remember that you are stealing a card from a two-year-old. Hope you can sleep at night.

TTM Success and a Contest Shout Out

Yesterday I had two little white SASEs in my mailbox. That's a lovely feeling if you've never experienced it. I'm going to give each one a separate post.

Yankees RHP Prospect Bryan Mitchell signed my card in about 2 weeks c/o the Staten Island Yankees. I'm having a lot of success sending to these guys. Now if I could only get my Mason Williams back! Mitchell even threw six innings of one hit ball last night. He's a solid prospect and I expect him to climb steadily over the next few years.

One thing I'm noticing - the 2011 Topps Pro Debut cards are not ideal for signing. I've been getting some bubbly signatures. It's my fault for not using any sort of powder on them to remove the gloss, but I'm lazy. Lesson learned.

Oh, and a contest shout out! The awesome Cheap Card Collecting is holding a contest for some nice cards - a lot of relics, including a Brett Gardner Topps 60 relic that I'm going to win, so set your sights on something else.

Big Fun Game over at Napkin Doon's

This isn't a contest, it's actually a game...a conniving game of stealing and backstabbing and complete disregard for the feelings of others. There are always great prizes up for grabs. Go check it out and get on the list for Napkin Doon's 3rd Big Fun Game. You won't regret it...except when I steal your card from you.
