A Giant Strat-O-Matic Contest

The Strat-O-Matic Game Company is providing me with three copies of the game to give away in a contest. The contest is on my other blog (A Giant Blog). It's a great game -- head on over if you would like to enter. :)

Thanks again Captain Canuck

The Captain (Waxaholic) sent me some Giants want list stuff from my Giants blog. Thanks for sending the goodies and a return package is on the way! :)

If anyone else has anything on my Giants want list, please let me know and hopefully we can arrange a trade of some sort. I have a lofty goal of collecting as many Giants team sets as possible.

Thanks mrhaverkamp!

• Three 1976 Topps cards arrived today, the product of a trade with mrhaverkamp at The Bench. They are #202 (AL ERA Leaders), #348 (Mickey Cochrane ATG), and #350 (Lefty Grove ATG). Now I'm five cards away from completing the 1976 Topps set!

• The cards left are:

• #48 Dave Concepcion

• #345 Babe Ruth ATG

• #500 Reggie Jackson

• #525 Billy Williams

• #650 Thurman Munson

• Once I can get a hold of those cards, then Phase 2 of the 1976 Project (Kellogg's) will get underway. Then it's on to Hostess and SSPC.

• By the way, I'm also working on an ambitious project to get a hold of as many NY/SF Giants cards as possible. I started a blog (called A Giant Blog) that will chronicle my adventures in collecting Giants cards. Right now all that is on there is a want list, but I'll post other stuff too. It won't be an "everyday" type of blog, but I'll post to it 2-3 times a week. :)
