I agonized over this one

I am running a giveaway and it was ok when I was sending out cards I could send them pretty cheap.  Then last night I mailed out a few of the action figure give a ways and it cost me $40.  I am not poor, but not the 1% either.  Since I am calling it a giveaway, I really agonized over asking for help, but I can't afford to keep spending that kind of money every week.  If you want to help you can send a few dollars through paypal to captain america 1957 at msn dot com.  If I have offended anyone I am sorry.  I want to keep moving stuff out but it is more expensive than I thought.  I would rather you guys have the stuff than just dumping it at a Goodwill donation site.

ALL GONE

I only have three teams left to give away. The San Francisco Giants, Oakland A's and the Florida Marlins.   I know these are all old logos, but I like them (except for the one below).  Most of the cards in the 50 card packages are from this past year.  I do not want to trade, I just know someone would appreciate them more than me and I don't want to give them to Goodwill.  If you want one of these three teams email me at Padrographs at live dot com. There will be some things coming up that other Padres fans may want.  Next week will be some MacFarlane action figures.  

GIVEAWAY TIME.

I sent out some more packages for the GIVEAWAY tonight.  I sent out packages to The Lost Collector, Capewood Collections, O No Another Orioles Blog, Tomahawk Chopping, Play at the Plate, Dinged Corners, and Fan of the Reds.

There are still a few teams that I don't have trade partners for.  If you know someone who collects one of these teams let me know.  The FLORIDA MARLINS, WHITE SOX, OAKLAND A'S, WASHINGTON NATIONALS, MILWAUKEE BREWERS, SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS, TORONTO BLUE JAYS and the COLORADO ROCKIES.

The Giveaway has commenced

I have sorted through my extra cards from this year and divided them up by team.  So far I have mailed out cards to Night Owl, Justin's World, Cards on Cards, Angels in Order, The Troll, Autographed Cards, Wrigley Wax, and GCRL.  I have a few more packages ready to go, but there are some teams that I don't have anyone to send them to.  If you want one of the following teams email me your address at padrographs at live dot com.  First person to claim a team will get the cards, no trading just me giving you cards.  Here are the teams still available.

Marlins
Diamondbacks
White Sox
Yankees
Tigers
A's
Nationals
Brewers
Giants
Blue Jays
Rockies

Next up will be some MacFarlane figures. 

Something to get me through until Spring Training.

This is what I want to get signed this winter and then get framed, with some cards and other things I have from that year.  As far as I know everyone pictured is a pretty good signer TTM.  I am going to write them first and make sure they will sign it and what they require.  Left to Right; Steve Garvey, Goose Gossage, Terry Kennedy, Tim Flannery and Dave Dravecky.  If I can get it signed by all of them it will be awesome. 

more joy of a complete page

 I have completed three more pages of my 1957 Topps Hit Stars set.  I only need 12 more cards to complete the set but I think the rest may be pretty expensive.  The other day I missed on a beat to crap Bob Hope that went for around $33 dollars including shipping.   I have seen one card of Buddy Holly and the Crickets and it was probably VG at best and it went for $150.
