Uni Watch (Waxaholic Alt. Logo)...

By special request, the league office has revised the style guide for the Waxaholic franchise to include a new alternate logo:

Uni Watch (Waxaholic edition)...

Did you think I had forgotten this week's victim, errrr... opponent in The Card Blog League? Looked past, sure. Forgotten, no. Waxaholic lead by the fearless Captain Canuck battles the mighty Pintadores de Punkrock this week.

The delay in getting this week's unis out was caused by the Royal Canadian Postal Service. Concept designs were repeatedly delayed between the league office and the league's northernmost affiliate. Unfortunately, Waxaholic was forced to play naked the first two games of the series, directly effecting their "o-ffense" (sic). Hopefully, with the new uniforms, Waxaholic will play up to the Triple-"eh" level of baseball that we expect from the Great White North.

Tony Gwynn - a History (Part 17)... Oddball Cards

I believe this is from the 1970 Topps Booklet set. I can't seem to find another one anywhere. The sets I am able to track down only go to card/book #24. The set OBVIOUSLY goes higher than that!

1970 Topps Story Booklets - Tony Gwynn #25

Can anyone help me with researching this set?

Big Lebowski Set...

Sorry for the extended break. I have been sick for the last few days... I love being sick on weekends. It is GREAT!

I started on this one a while back and decided to finish it between coughs.

Okay, Okay... If You Insist...

Since nobody (but Wieters) survived to report on the event from my previous post, I was forced to play out the drama via baseball cards:

1986 Topps Woolworth - Mr. T #76

1986 Topps Traded - Chuck Norris #133

The Creation of Matt Wieters

Wasting My Best Work...

Sometimes I think that I am using my best writing in comments I post on other blogs. Let's be honest, nobody comes here for the writing. Words shmurds. Show us the pictures! Well screw that! If it is good enough to be a post sans pix, you're gonna get to read it.

From Goose Joak:

"Mr. T and Chuck Norris got in a fight on May 21, 1986. They eyed each other for 23 hours; neither one blinked.

No one is sure who made the first move, but in the 24th hour of the standoff they both attacked. Mr. T's gold ring studded punch connected with Chuck Norris' round-house kick. The resulting explosion destroyed every living thing within a 20 mile radius... and created Matt Wieters."


Hmmm... This one really needs an illustration.
