Here's a fun pickup I just received from eBay after unsuccessfully trying to trade for it multiple times from an unnamed blogger who started trade talks with me multiple times and then never returned my messages:
Mickey Tettleton-Frank Tanana 2006 Topps Co-Signers dual auto
Well, Lawrence from
Office Space, if you had a million dollars, what would you ask for on your Topps card?

"Besides two Tigers at the same time?"
I'm pretty excited about this one because Tanana was a very good pitcher for the Tigers for a long time, and Tettleton is easily one of my favorite Tigers of all time because of this,
one of the greatest batting stances ever, with an enormous wad of chew half the size of his head sticking out of his cheek. That and he had a ton of power for a catcher,
averaging 32 homers from '91-'93. And did I mention that his nickname was "Fruit Loops" (which he claimed were the source of his power)? There will never be another Mickey Tettleton, though
his son Tyler is a college QB for Ohio (the actual Ohio, not the Redneck State Buckeyes).
Anyway, this is a very cool card and a fun addition to
my Tigers PC!
