Upon checking my email last night I stumbled across the 2nd entry for the logo contest! This one is from Scott. The gloves have been dropped and this is now officially on. Here is Scott’s interpretation of the logo for this site:
It’s a fun take on the 80′s Topps wrapper (as if you didn’t know that). I like it just as much as the rookie cup from yesterday. Still no banners as of yet but the contest goes on for another 2 weeks so I’m not too worried.
In other news, this blog was mentioned in NJ.com, memories of Morris Plains, for me that is exciting being I grew up in NJ (Red Bank). So when I get a shout out from NJ.com it puts a smile on my face. Yesterday the all time high of 372 hits was achieved, so for that I want to thank all of my readers. I do try and make the site interesting, giving you a chance to read daily takes on bargain products. I’m glad there are so many people out there like me, just looking to add to their collections without breaking the bank.
I have some new columns I am going to introduce over the next few weeks and we’ll see how they will take off. I’ve gotten some great feedback about the Undervalued Wax columns which will continue. I am trying to diversify the content on the site but it will continue to focus on cheap cards, boxes and sets. Also as you know I am a bit of an autograph hound. If you know of any free signings, please let me know so I can put it on here. I found out about the Jim Rice signing about 5 hours before it happened, I’d like to be able to let people know days or weeks in advance. Everyone likes a free autograph.
So that’s it for now, but check back later today as I will have an Operation Topps post as well as an Undervalued Wax column. Have a great week for all of you who are lucky enough to have the week off. I’ll be sweating it at work for the next few days. I do however had the weekend off, maybe I’ll have some good stuff to post then.
