Some sports cards from Listia

I've been 'selling' some cards on Listia, mostly duplicate 1971 Topps.  I've been turning around and bidding on some cards that I want.  I won this disinterested Reggie Jackson for 3,580 credits.  The seller tossed in the ticked off Andre Dawson.  Reggie filled a hole in my quest to complete the 1971 Topps Series 1 (obligatory wantlist link).

Andre Dawson (card # 212)

Jeff Burton has moved from the drivers' seat to the broadcast booth. But my wife still likes him.  I bid on this lot and won for 503 credits.  I didn't even look to see if I need them.  As it turns out, I needed all three of them (obligatory wantlist link, part two).

1995 Classic 5 Sport
Jeff Burton (card # 172)

2006 Press Pass VIP
Jeff Burton (card # 2)

I need to do much more sorting and cataloging of the Jeff Burton cards, but that isn't a priority for me.

Gary Nolan - card # 75

What more needs to be said?  Don't stay up late watching horror movies.

Tony C in a Wide Pen

Before I created the Tony Cuccinello checklist, I thought that I could knockout a few more of his cards on my way to becoming a TC super collector.  I picked this 1936 Goudey Wide Pen for five bucks, plus reasonable shipping.  It is a bit chewed up at the bottom of the card.

Tony Cuccinello - card # (22)

Looking at the prices of some of the cards on the checklist I've abandoned all hope of becoming a TC super collector.  Several are well out of my price range.  I might pick up a few more as type cards, but I'm not actively pursuing his cards.

Now the question is, where can I get a screw down case for this (and other similar sized cards).  It is 3-1/4" x 5-1/2"

Movie Title changes

Last night on twitter David, from Tribe Cards, played a little game called:  #MakeAFilmUncomfortable.  Take a film, add a few words, make it uncomfortable.  Here are some of  his baseball related suggestions.

• Fear Strikes Out with a Hatchet
• Eight Men Come Out
• Hell's Angels in the Outfield
• Charlie's Angels in the Outfield
• Air Budweiser: The Seventh Inning Belch
• Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever Pitch
• Everyone's Hero Sandwich
• Big League Chew of Their Own
• Topps Gum

I tossed in a few of my own, based on the Wiki list of Academy Award Winning Films.  I didn't try to make them uncomfortable, just baseball related.

• Annie Gets Her Radar Gun
• Adventures of Don Juan Marichal
• Cool Hand Luke Easter
• Julius Szczur
• It Happened One Night Owl
• Good Will Clark Hunting
• The Rob Deer Hunter
• The Deer Hunter Pence
• Crouching Detroit Tigers, Hidden Chunichi Dragons
• Bonnie and David Clyde
• The Big Broadcast of 1938: The Vin Scully Story
• The Accidental Asheville Tourists
• Hunt for Red Mr. October

Even David, the Cardboard Junkie, joined in the fun

• Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bombo Rivera

Do you have any to add?

My nod to the Super Bowl

I've been underwhelmed by the NFL this year.  But I will be attending a Super Bowl party.  I'm leaving early to get the kiddo ready for school tomorrow.  Also Downton Abbey is on.  Mostly I see the Super Bowl as a prelude to the return of The Blacklist on NBC.

My brother gave me this card.  I think it was left over from when one of his coworkers was canned.  You know, after the guy leaves, everyone goes to his desk to scavenge?  Find a better stapler.  Hopefully get back the pens that he stole from you.  If you're lucky you get a newer desk chair, maybe just the chair mat.  My brother got Mirro's only football card.

1975 Topps
Mirro Roder (card # 508)

So, the back of the card looks like a pinball machine.  Apparently they don't have schools in Czechoslovakia.  And following one path of immigrants in the Windy City he drove taxis for a year.
