Cardboard appreciation, quarterfinal #5

(My folks are in town for a few days beginning today. That means I'll have less time to blog and wander through the wonderful card blog network. But I love my folks dearly, so I'll make the sacrifice. And I'll really appreciate the moments when I do get to pull free to sneak a look at what's going on in my favorite hobby. Time for Cardboard Appreciation):

Not much of a contest again in quarterfinal #4 of the Cardboard Appreciation Vote-off. Oscar Gamble and his hair won fairly easily over Rod Carew.

The totals:

Oscar Gamble, 1975 Topps: 27 votes
Rod Carew, 1975 Topps: 11 votes

Oscar advances.

And that brings me to the final quarterfinal. It's going to be a bit tougher than the previous two. If you've been paying attention, you know who is left.

The first card is one that we thought was hysterical as kids. Any card that can make you laugh is worth a vote. By the way, I'm willing to bet this photo was taken in Cleveland. Just a hunch. Something about there being no fans in the stands.

Here is the second card. Do you really want to vote against Bob Gibson? Look, he's daring you. Meanwhile, that card is in awfully fine condition for being 41 years old.

So, that's what I'm asking you to do -- choose between Boog and Bob. The poll is on the sidebar. Next week we'll begin the semifinals, and by the new year we'll have a grand Cardboard Appreciation champion.

Thrilling isn't it? I'm all tingly inside.
