If you believe...a man on the moon.

Two days, two astronaut material cards. Hopefully, we get more Monday.

Panini Heroes & Legends arriving...

Received a clothing card of astronaut Al Worden yesterday from Panini. Any astronaut is better than some loser from American Idol. Here's hoping that I do as well as I did four years ago with Donruss.

Bad economy or lockout drop?

Just recently, I was bidding on items on eBay I didn't think I had a chance of winning for such a low maximum. Two days later, MyeBay showed that I won something. I was shocked at the win. "2003/04 SP AUTHENTIC SERGIE FEDOROV/STANISLAV CHISTOV DUAL AUTO #/99 BGS 9" $6.84 total including shipping. One of the greats. Obviously, the misspelled name threw some biggers off, but seriously? Made me feel bad getting it so cheap.

This waiting is tough!

I understand that I haven't gotten to the first drawing date for the index cards I've sent out, but I still check the mailbox each day in hopes a card will be there... If anyone reads this...are there any updated sites any more? Even NPN Cards - the best site in my opinion - is falling behind.

I'm back...again.

OK. Let's try this again.

I'm back!

After a long hiatus, I have decided to start sending in NPNs again. Like many others, I just didn't have the time. Well, everyone needs a hobby...

I'm scouring all the poorly updated sites out there to get a good list going...I will post my findings soon...

BGS grading

Just received word that some cards I sent in to BGS are done, including a couple NPNs.

The expensive Audrey Hepburn card graded a disappointing 7.0 due to a low surface grade. I didn't notice anything, but apparently they did.

I was happy with a grade for a card that my wife pulled. A 2008 Topps Heritage Black Refractor (#/59) Jacoby Ellsbury received a 9.5! A $120 card just got a lot better.

Here are all the grades...
