What do you think of the set?

Pointless Pieces of Cardboard Pt. 3

Hey guys, Drew back here, continuing on the never-ending saga that is Pointless Pieces of Cardboard. Today we have another card on Check Out My Cards.com that has a big price tag. This is nothing to do with the site again, this has to do with the seller. Here we go:

Card: 2009 Upper Deck Ryan Zimmerman Game Jersey not #ed
Price: $50.00
Why is this criticized?: Why is this $50.00??? Again, unless it's a short printed relic, or something, this shouldn't have a price tag like this!!! The seller has a few kinda high prices but all are at least under BV, except this, which BV is not provided for. Also, nothing against Zimmerman, he's good and I like him, just this is ridiculous. You could manage to get a Babe Ruth relic card for double this price, so, what would you prefer, one old jersey with the pinstripe running through it of possibly the greatest player EVER, or 2 of these? Or, you could get a bunch of these off eBay, example, or buy all of these and it will be remotely close to $50, not including shipping.

So, I don't know what some sellers problems are with not selling by "Book Value" at least, all I know is that NOBODY THAT KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS GOING TO BUY THIS CARD FOR $50. AND NOBODY OUTSIDE OF OUR BLOGOSPHERE HAS EVER HEARD OF COMC!!!!!!!!!

Even more of a custom card update

Hey guys, Drew back here, I went to a party today (somehow, we have about 2 feet of snow over here), and it was pretty fun. I made one more custom before I left, for a TTM I'm gonna send really soon, maybe next week sometime, to this guy:

After emailing William from foul bunt, I made a decision. I will only put the fronts on the cards when they are mailed, and if I get back the back of the card will be added. The back makes it sound like it will be for sale or something, and I don't want to make it seem like the player is signing for a company. Hopefully this makes for better success! So, I'm gonna make 1 or 2 more tomorrow, than I'll print a few more! See Ya!

Bob Feller Custom Finished!

Hey guys, as Spring Training is here, I am piled in snow. On my driveway we must have at least 8-11 inches of snow, and we've had no school for 3 straight days! Since we don't get winter recess here in NY, this is a nice treat! Anyway, I've spent a lot of the time in the snow or working on customs. I'm preparing many trades and TTM's to ship out, getting pretty close to the first 330 2010 Topps cards, I think I still need about 30 though. I got a lot of doubles in the box from my blaster. Anyway, on the post below this (or on the sidebar), the cards not in red are still available for trade, and I made my wantlists a lot neater, so check that out for a really easy way to see what I need. My 2010 Topps wantlist looks like a checkers game, you'll see when you're looking for cards I need! Anyway, I wanted to show you all how the custom Hall of Fame Heroes cards are coming out, I'm gonna start sending them as soon as I'm done! I started printing them yesterday, so first check out the cards, the fronts are printed but the backs aren't yet:

Andre Dawson


Stan Musial


Side View of Stan Musial

I used plain white dummy cards to make it thick, I have a bunch of them, and they look great! I used double sided tape (mom helped me with this card making experience, thanks again mom!), and stuck the card to the dummy. Two of the cards are not perfect, but the Musial came out perfect!

Backs

The Plain white back, soon to be covered in pictures like this:

Feller Back

My signature will be in between the "Congratulations" paragraph and my name, like Richard P. McWilliam, or whatever the heck his name is. By the way, I'm sending in the Dye "no relic" card for a replacement, Upper Deck finally got back to me.

Any advice is needed! I'm gonna make a few more now, starting with the Dawson back though! See Ya!

P.S. If you request one, I'll do my best to try to make one for you, if not you can feel free to use the pictures I used, just save them or something! Later.
