Night Owl Cards

  I tried to get this card into the Awesome Night Card binder and it was denied like the binder was Connor Hellebuyck .   It was a bit frustrating because there are PLENTY of open spots in the night card binder, but very nice night cards get blocked all the time.   This particular card number -- 118 -- has come up a few times in my binder but contenders will always come up short.   This is the card residing at 118 and it's unique, a minor league baseball scene, so I can't boot it out, there are plenty of celebration shots in the binder already. So the 2026 card goes in the back page of the binder for night cards that are still too good to get booted.   Anyway, that's the most attention the Awesome Night Card Binder has received in awhile. In fact I haven't done one of these page-by-page looks at the binder in nearly a year-and-a-half . So let's look at the next eight pages (down from the traditional 12 because that's a lot of picture taking).     Page ...

  Now that the 1975 Topps worst-to-best countdown is finished, I'm a bit lost without having anything to count down. I'm sure I'll come up with something else eventually but right now I have at least one counting up series in the works. It's somewhat of a poor substitute, but it is helping my collection -- in theory. I started The Awesome Night Card Binder review in April , showing off the first 12 pages of my night card binder. The hope was that it would get me to find and add more cards to a stagnating project. I have to say I haven't done much in the last 6-7 months. I did add a couple more 2024 Topps cards, but I kept running into road blocks for other '24 cards -- too much goodness in the binder. I'll have to dig deeper into Series 2 and see if I can fill some holes in the higher numbers, because that's where all the holes are. All right, I've got pages 13-24 for you now. Again, I don't know how interesting this is for readers, but we know t...

  A couple of weeks ago I added the first 2024 card to my night card binder. It's this Reds card, which I slipped into the No. 133 slot. It reminded me that I've planned to show off my night card binder on this blog for a couple of years now. I'm not sure how exciting that is to readers, but it has a two-fold purpose; it helps catalog what I need to fill holes in the binder -- there are a lot of holes. It also might spark me to add cards more often as the binder's been stagnating lately. I don't expect anyone out there to spot a night card and then turn it over to the back to look at the number to see if night owl needs it. But I've seen stranger things on this blog, so why not.   I'm going to show the first 12 pages in the binder. I'll pick up the rest of the pages here and there as part of a random continuing series for you to ignore at your leisure.   Page 1 starts now:   This is as rock-solid of a page that I could produce. It contains all kinds of f...
