So, one of my favorite things to collect is signed baseballs. I limit my collection only to ROMLBs and normally prefer balls signed in blue ink. I have a dozen balls from Braves players housed in a UV frame on my wall and have noticed that one of the balls has faded significantly over the last...

Looks good!

If memory serves, these were manufactured by an outside group. Basically, they took a normal base card and applied their 1/1 embossing to it. I woudn't consider them true 1/1 cards...but they are unique and if you are a Warrick collector I'd hang onto it. But, it probably doesn't have much value.

What an ugly game it was.

You never know...Oregon has a history of not showing up in bowls...but with Herbert announcing his return they might be pumped up. I think the Ducks will either look amazing or terrible...nothing in between.

I vaguely remember these...I want to say they were a redemption of some kind. But, I don't remember the details.

I think it's really hard because we have conferences which limited who you can play in 75% of your games. The other 25% you get to select "non-conference" opponents but when you start to have success (Boise State years back, UCF today) it's challenging to schedule quality non-conference games...

So, back when I was in college a decade ago...we were suffering through the BCS era. At that time, I sat down and hatched out what I thought would be the ideal college football playoff. I looked at what the NCAA basketball tournament does and why it is so popular. I also looked at the FCS...

I don't have that one. I didn't think to look for varieties. I will need to add it.

...and for some reason he couldn't pick a quality Lions QB like my boy Joey Harrington. lol.

You know, I actually am posting them on a space themed board as well...and there are people there who teach history classes to kids about space exploration. They have asked to use them as class aids. It's kinda cool.

So, some of my friends on one of my space sites where I am also sharing this set had a few ideas and suggestions...mostly related to the boarder design. So, I gave them some thought and here is what I came up with. The reason that I went with the white boarder is because I like trading cards...

So, one of my favorite things to study is space exploration. I have been a huge fan of the space program and even twice applied to the NASA Astronaut Corps. I also collect astronaut and cosmonaut autographs. Outside of a couple card sets...Space exploration has been mostly forgotten. Topps...

Here are a few more I have done. These first couple were done back in the pre-season and never posted. Up first is a card that is somewhat of my own invention. This is a 1987 Topps Traded. Topps Traded football didn't come out until 1989 but I love the 1987 design so I thought it would be...

Here are a few more: 1994 Oregon 25th Anniversary #6 Kenny Wheaton 1994 Oregon 25th Anniversary #7 Dino Philyaw 1994 Oregon 25th Anniversary #8 Chad Cota

So, I finished up a few others. The next two are the continuation of the "Highlights" sub-set. Up first is a card commemorating the 1994 Washington-Oregon game. Oregon hosted one of our bitter rivals...the Washington Huskies who were heavily favored. This was a back and forth game. Just as...

OK, I have the first pair of cards for this set done. I wanted to do this like a classic box set would have been done. So...I figured the first card should be a "header" card. A title or cover card to begin the set. So, that's what I created. Then first card features a period correct photo...

I've loved football for as long as I can remember. But, I do know when I became a true die hard fan of the sport. I grew up in Eugene, Oregon and as a result rooted for the Oregon Ducks. As a young child, I wanted to go to Autzen Stadium and watch them play. I remember asking my dad to take...

I think I will leave the UK set as is and look for an opened set for the binder. They are out there. I will get some photos of the set up over the next few days.
