Hard To Say Goodbye














I'm not going anywhere, but another fellow blogger is. Andy of the fantastic blogs 88 Topps Cards and 78 Topps Cards is calling it quits.

It happens to all of us eventually. Real life intrudes and takes priority. Andy will still be making contributions to the Baseball Reference Stat Of The Day site.

I, for one, will miss starting off the morning with one of Andy's blogs. Andy has been a big supporter of this site and has been very generous with card contributions and his time. I have to take this opportunity to thank him properly for all the time and effort that he put into his blogs.

Some of the most challenging contests in the blogging community were put together by Andy. I believe I even won one of them. His sites featured the most comprehensive studies of the 1988 and the 1978 Topps card sets. I can't imagine how any further information can be squeezed out of each set.

Hopefully, Andy will come back periodically (when some time frees up) and finish off the 1978 Topps Cards blog. It's off to a wonderful start. I will keep it in the blog roll and hopefully it will one day be bumped up to the top again.

I would also like to thank Andy for his contributions to Things Done To Cards. If you ever feel the muse strike you, please feel free to make a post. Thanks for all the wonderful memories.

Bribery!

78 Topps Cards Blog! 78 Topps Cards Blog! 78 Topps Cards Blog!

On Saturday, I received a mysterious package in the mail. I opened the mysterious package and discovered another envelope with cryptic writing on it.

It was from Andy at 78 Topps Cards Blog.

"That's strange", I thought to myself. I wondered what Andy from 78 Topps Cards Blog's motives could possibly be for sending me this mysterious package with cryptic writing. It seems to be sending a message of some sort, but I can't for the life of me figure out exactly what.

I decided to open the second envelope from 78 Topps Cards Blog and see what Andy from 78 Topps Cards Blog was up to.
BRIBERY!!!!

I can't believe there were 2008 White Sox cards in this package from Andy at 78 Topps Cards Blog! I know I was born in Chicago, but who bribes with cards nowadays? It's gonna take cold hard Cash to get me to promote something on this blog.

OK, White Sox cards are a way to get my attention. Let's see what came in the bribe package on Saturday.
