A trip around my blogroll, November edition

I've got nothing I feel like blogging about for now, but I did feel like highlighting some of my favorite posts so far this week:
A Pack to be Named Later busted a pack of 2000 Fleer Tradition football, which is a pretty great set in my opinion, and I don't think I've seen those opened online before.

ARPSmith's Sportscard Obsession showed off a pair of beautiful mid-90s Matt Williams Donruss Elite inserts.  As a kid who collected during that era, seeing these brings back fond memories, even if I didn't pull one until YEARS later because they were so rare at the time.

Paul from Card Boarded highlights the awesome paint job on Red Wing goalie Jimmy Howard's mask.  Nice combination of the Spirit of Detroit statue and the Olde English "D," Jimmy!


Johnny from Cards From the Quarry is back at it with his awesome Quarry Unlimited custom set, 2013 edition.  Today's post features the multiplayer rookies design (my favorite), but don't miss his other posts in the series!

CynicalBuddha of Collector's Crack scored some cheap but awesome boxed sets from a card shop warehouse sale.  There's some pretty sweet stuff to see, and oh, hey, one of them has Jim Abbott on top, so let's use that image!




Brian at Play at the Plate has a mother competing with his mother-in-law to see who can buy him more blasters.  Remind me how I can marry into that family.  Also, he pulled a Verlander, so thumbs up!

And finally, the best post from this week (which happens to be last alphabetically in my reader):

  1. This is actually a really good idea for a post. Showing some highlights and giving some props to our blogging brothers.

    1. Thanks! It's something I like to do from time to time, especially when I can't think of anything to post. Plus there's always a nice number of posts I like to highlight since I find them so entertaining.

  2. Thanks for the plug, Dennis. I needed it today because Blogger still hasn't caught on that I posted around 8 hours ago.

  5. I've added Jim Moore to my "watch list" on eBay. Doug's card is definitely a top 5 candidate for "card of the year".

    1. Good idea. And I'm not so sure that Jim's, uh...svelte enough to hold just one top-5 spot...
