i am staggered and heartbroken and bipped all at once

although it’s a mini-bip, courtesy of heartbreaking cards of staggering genius.
five 1994 donruss special edition ramon martinez cards.  i can deal with that.
there were many many more cards included, such as a 1986 topps carlos diaz
carlos was born in honolulu, which is fairly rare for a major leaguer - baseball reference shows only 35 hawaiians have played in the big leagues, and not all of them were from the capitol city.  of course, diaz is the second dodger pitcher to be born there - charlie hough is the other.
2005 topps total hee seop choi.
jim tracy’s whipping boy manning first in dodger stadium.  i sure wish topps would bring total back.  where else am i going to get a brent leach card?
2007 upper deck mark hendrickson
i wish the dodgers would go ahead and retire maury wills’ number already.  i know it’s against their policy (other than the jim gilliam exception) but come on.  when dave roberts wore it, he had maury’s blessing.  i doubt big bird did.
a couple of autographs - 2004 fleer greats jeff torborg
it’s a sticker, but still…
and a 2004 upper deck legends timeless teams mickey hatcher
on card stunt man!  i wish mickey would sign ttm.  the only time i have met him (a couple years ago at spring training) i was unprepared.
finally, matt sent me my first 2010 card.  not just dodger, but card. 
it’s true - i haven’t bought any 2010 stuff. yet. i probably will, although i will likely just buy singles.  until i really feel the need to open packs.  which should be any day now.
thanks matt!

i have been bipped, in a manner of speaking i would have guessed it would have been beardy to do the trick, but instead, it was rod from padrographs.  fitting, i suppose, since bip roberts spent the bulk of his career with the pads.  fortunately for me, my bipping wasn’t, by rule, a true bipping - i got at...

1969 Topps, Maury Wills #45 Maury Wills Here is another card that I was able to get signed in Ft. Worth on Friday. The game I happened to attend just happened to be the day that Maury was at the park signing autographs. I didn’t know about this signing until two days before...

Mini-bipped by gcrl Here’s another one card trade post for you, I’ve added a mini-bipping that coincidentally occured for Thorzul’s amusement. gcrl traded Mario of  Wax Heaven fame a whole bunch of Luis Polonia cards and in return got some Tristar Obak in return. I coveted the Gene Conley auto since I first...

Nachos Grande Gets a Big Pile of Bipped! Back when I first started blogging, Matt from Heartbreaking Cards was super kind and overly generous in sending me two packages of cards I wanted for free.

Big News: It’s 1980 all over again. Smaller News: I’m back! So after being without internet for several weeks I’m back. There’s a very good reason for my long absence which I will reveal tomorrow along with some random (and I mean random) old packs I found as well as some maildays that have been long neglected. And of course while...

maury wills final tribute - the card that should have been in 1972, maury wills played the final games of his major league career. he was released by the dodgers after the season, and topps did not issue a wills card in 1973. this, of course, means that there was no final tribute - a card including his total career stats...

You’re killing me, Upper Deck I’m already code-crazed enough that I may not buy anything else besides base Topps all year (at least until Allen & Ginter comes out). However, I also fear a Monopoly, so I really want to support Upper Deck somehow to keep them afloat until the Bad Times pass. But then...
