Contest reminder


I just made a startling discovery.  Bip Roberts played 61 games for his hometown Oakland A's in 1998.  I have never seen a card of Bip in an A's uniform.  Hint, Hint.


So far I have received two entries for my custom Bip contest.  I must say they are both very creative and unusual.  I know there are many more custom card makers out there.  Punk Rock Paint, Beardy, Big D, Bad Wax and many others I am looking at you.  There will be MacFarlane action figures, signed cards and jersey cards available.

Thanks for the reminder, as I may give this a go. I have nowhere near the talent of a lot of the custom guys here, and don't really know how to actually "make" the cards. But I have a lot of free time on my hands right now due to fewer classes, and I'd love to learn how!

Mine is moving along slowly... Slowly, but awesomely...

I've been an A's fan for as long as I can remember... and I never knew he played for the A's. According to Beckett, he's pictured as an Athletic on his 1999 Pacific card #315... however, I don't have that card on hand, so I can't verify they're correct or not.
