It's Not National Trading Card Day

It's not National Trading Card Day but I came across these and felt they were blogworthy at any time.  You can't go wrong with six of the best  and most popular players of our time. 

You Look Like a Succulent Baby Lamb

For all his greatness, Peyton Manning still has just one Super Bowl win (over my Bears unfortunately).  Sunday afternoon the Broncos play the Chargers.  I don't have allegiance to any of the remaining playoff teams but I do like Peyton so I wouldn't mind seeing him win another.  He always seems to be a good sport.  Here he is with Will Ferrell aka Ron Burgundy.

2013 Topps Football Pack Break

I don't really collect football cards the way I do baseball but every year I seem to buy a few packs just for fun.  At $1.99 for 12 cards it's a pretty easy purchase.  I picked up three packs.  After seeing this one I probably should just save the others.

Do It Yourself COMC Pack #20/35 The Three Bears and More

I recently had 8 months worth of Check Out My Cards purchases shipped.  I divided the 153 cards into 35 groups.  I like to think of these as hand picked "packs".   I'm posting them in random order.  "Pack" #20, 5 cards, was $1.62 including shipping.

Jim McMahon didn't have a long career as a Bear but it sure had some great moments.

Jay Cutler wears "The Punky QB's" number upside down.  He has more weapons this year so if the offensive line holds it's own Jay should put up some great numbers in 2012.

No Bears quarterback has replaced this guy yet.

The pack rounds out with two shiny sure future Hall of Famers.

National Trading Card Day Cards

Here are six  National Trading Card Day cards from 2004.  I picked them up as part of my first COMC purchase that I had shipped last June.  Not a bad half dozen current and future Hall of Famers in four sports.
