#500

Today, as I fight this virus, I will celebrate a couple of things.
First, I got the last two cards for my 2006 Upper Deck Auto-Facts Signatures set in the mail today. Chris Duffy #2/5 and Dontrelle Willis #28/50.

All credit for the Duffy catch must go to Tim over at the Great Sports Name Hall-of-Fame. Amazingly, he found a guy on a message board that had one. The Willis was an eBay score. The 89 card set is now finished.  It took me just under a year to finish it. Here the set is all laid out together. Seems odd that it would have 89 cards and not 90. You can see the awesome checklist here.

Second; this is my 500th blog post. I started this blog back in early December 2009. I have had a blast sharing my collecting experiences with my readers. As a way to say thanks 'sew' much, I am giving away a box of cards. Nice new unopened packs. I am also going to throw in cards of players from your favorite team.

Here's all you have to do. Leave a comment on this post with your favorite baseball or football team. I will take entries/comments until Saturday morning. Please, just one comment per person. After all the entries are entered, I will pick one at random. That person will get the prize.
