Passing The Torch

I got this card in an online box break. It is from 2010 Topps Triple Threads. I watch videos of box breaks from cardsinfinity.com on a mostly daily basis. It's a fun way to see what new products look like and what I want to spend my own money on. It's hard to plunk down $100 or more for a box, so I was happy to see this Montana, Brady and Clausen #11/27 pop out. As a kid, I loved the 49ers, so the Montana relic is nice. Obviously I love this card for the Brady, and who could forget the legendary...

Jimmy Clausen?

Topps, I'm confused. A Hall of Famer, a surefire Hall of Famer, and a back-up to the 2011 #1 draft pick Cam Newton. A quarterback with a 3-9 career record. A cardboard misfit. Who knows, maybe someday Clausen will come into his own, but for now, I wish the card looked more like this:

Passi The To? I'll take these two any day.






No Love For Football?

Dear Blogging Community,
I'm a new blogger but a long time reader. Maybe I'm wrong, but there seems to be much more love for baseball than football out here. I wonder why this is. Are football fans too primal and unsophisticated to write decent literature? Do baseball games last so long that fans get bored and decide to blog? Regardless, I'd like to see a little more football around here. If you are a football fan with a collection to trade, shoot me an email. If you are a Patriots hater (and there are a lot of them), I'd be happy to take some cards off your hands. If you love the Pats, good for you. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy my blog.

Talk to you soon,
Craig
