Yellow Cardboard: Benito!
http://yellowcardboard.blogspot.com/2014/06/benito.html
Monday, June 9, 2014. Spurred on by a walk off win by my Padres over the weekend (though we'll say nothing of yesterday's game) here's another post on my neglected little blog. I received this card in an package a month or so ago, and I can't remember who sent it, but was one of my favorite cards in the bunch. While one of the best things about the '91 Fleer set is it's marvelous yellow borders, many of you will know that not all. Of the cards featured the iconic border. Swing And A Pop-up. I'm a Padres ...

Yellow Cardboard: September 2013
http://yellowcardboard.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 18, 2013. Bream, a Brave Buc. If I was a more knowledgable fan, I would probably have already known that Sid Bream spent half of his twelve year career with the Pirates. Since I'm not, I had to find out by flipping through the good ol '91 Fleer binder. Like many fans, when I think of Sid Bream, I think of "The Slide" that helped the Braves get to the World Series in 1992. He was a Brave then, so that's how I've always thought of him. But here's the proof! Anyways, to satisfy those wh...

Sunday, October 20, 2013. Best Of The Set: Mets. Round three of "Best of the Set" y'all! Ok Woah. Too much excitement there. It's Sunday after all, just a quick post to start the week.

The results of the voting for the best cards from the team sets are on the left. Congrats go out to Misters Grissom, Galarraga, Olerud, and Hill. Alright, here is an i...

Collecting 1982 Topps: November 2016
http://collecting1982topps.blogspot.com/2016_11_01_archive.html
The chronicled attempt to complete the 1982 Topps set, from Steve Carlton (#1) to Frank Tanana (#792). Tuesday, November 29, 2016. Card #19 - Ernie Whitt. Ladies and gentleman, the greatest catcher in Toronto Blue Jays history.Ernie Whitt! He never stuck at the big league level until his late 20's, but Whitt was the main man behind the plate for Toronto for the entire decade of the 80's. You know what else was solid for the Blue Jays during that decade? Look at those flowing locks! Steve Comer. *cric...

Yellow Cardboard: June 2014
http://yellowcardboard.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 17, 2014. Yesterday, the Padres and the rest of the baseball world lost one of their best. One of their best players. One of their best people. One of their best ambassadors to the game. At San Diego State, of course. The SDSU Aztecs play at Tony Gwynn Stadium. Petco Park, where the Padres play, borders on Tony Gwynn Drive. While many San Diegans cannot name any players currently on the Padres, everybody knows Tony Gwynn. In 1991, however, he was smack dab in the middle. We are in the middl...

Yellow Cardboard: Newbies
http://yellowcardboard.blogspot.com/2013/11/newbies.html
Friday, November 29, 2013. I guess I'm starting a tradition of only posting around the holidays, seeing as how my last post here at Yellow Cardboard was on Halloween. Things are going strong over at my "regular" blog, but I've been neglecting the Yellow. Anyways, enough about that. 'Tis the season to be thankful, and while I have a lot. While there are plenty of players on last year's ballot who had cards in the '91 Fleer set, here are the six new. First up, The Big Hurt, Frank Thomas. Not the greatest o...

Yellow Cardboard: Want List
http://yellowcardboard.blogspot.com/p/want-list.html
I'm sure it might be a little ridiculous to have a blog devoted to a set that I don't have all the cards of, but I already have the base set, and the majority of the posts will be based on those cards anyway. Don't judge! Anyways, like I said, I have the entire base set, but I'm still trying to accumulate as many Henry Cotto cards (#448) as I can. I also need. 1 - Ryne Sandberg. 2 - Barry Larkin. 3 - Matt Williams. 4 - Cecil Fielder. 5 - Barry Bonds. 6 - Rickey Henderson. 8 - Jose Canseco. 10 - Eric Davis.
