    That Cuddyer card is pretty sweet.

    1. I agree with Greg.
    2. There seems to be a trend with these mascots.
    3. Two catchers in full gear in one pack?! Sweet.

    Hanson saved me.

    All those zeroes gave me flashbacks to Gint-a-Cuffs.

    Catcher cards rock! Even out of their gear they rock. The Mauer pic is great

    I spotted the error, there is a Red Sox player instead of a Brave.

    If mascot autos are even worth ten cents my kids are going to college on all the Baxter Bobcat autos they have.

    Thanks for retrieving my posts! Perhaps Jafronius is a bad word up there in Canadia. BTW, did you get my e-mail?

    Oh, and does Card Hobbyist and Hackenbush get partial points for having a catcher in full gear on the card, evern though the card is for another player?

    I love the Freddie Freeman and Geo Soto cards! Those mascot cards are weird...the Diamondbacks mascot (in my mind) should probably be a snake, just sayin'.

    I thought the same thing when I saw the Mauer card.
