FUKUDOME FOR FREE!!!!!

The alliteration made me do it.  I'm serious though.  I collected these during the Piniella Era.  Now that we've entered the Maddon Ages I'd be happy to pass them on.  No strings.  First come first served.  Comment, then send your details to dballen323 at gmail.

Check Out My COMC Cards #3 -- Fukudome & Fontenot

The Cubs have a team of likable guys who right now are playing like crap. Here are a couple of likable guys. I picked up two cards of each of them. Total cost was 58 cents.

2007 Topps 52 #29

paid $.10

Mike reminded me of SNL's Darrell Hammond on this card

2008 Topps Year in Review #YR86
paid $.08

Mike had a great start this year but only hit .138 in June. No 7-7.

2008 UD Timeline #232
paid $.20

Like Fontenot, Fukudome got off to a good start this season but had an awful June.

2009 SPx #21
$.20

This card looks better in person. The scanner doesn't pick up the shininess of the background.

Randomly Random Part 1

I received a great bunch of cards from David at Tribecards yesterday. There is so much I could show you that I'm going to do a bunch of posts. Of course they will be "randomly random".

Here are two very shiny Cubs. I've started a modest Ryan Dempster collection and this a great addition. Kosuke is having a decent year, batting .275 and already has more extra base hits than last.

Donruss Americana is another one of my guilty pleasures sets. They seem like a waste of money but I can't help wanting some now and then.

These are from a 1999 set from Team Best. Belliard and Hairston made it to the bigs and are still playing. Ryan Rupe played for Tampa Bay and was 24-38 in five seasons. I like the minor league uniforms, particularly the throwback Seals uni Giuseppe is wearing.

Stay tuned for more Randomly Random.
