You know the drill, a card (or cards) off my "Wanted Table" or a cool card you think I may like that I don't have gets the pile.
That's all I got today. Keep rockin your cardboard dreams!

Hello all. Another card added to the trade pile. You know the routine, grab the pile for a card off my "Wanted Table".

Hello all. I have begun my 11 night stint at my kids former grammar school's fund raising festival running the black jack portion of their gambling tent so posts will be short and sweet for the next week and a half or so. I will begin a new trade pile today. Chris over at Nacho's Grande grabbed the first one at just one card which is fine by me. You know the routine by now, I post a card pile and add to it at random intervals til somebody grabs it for a card (or cards if you like) from my "Wanted Table".

I just discovered this spot and like it so far. Jaybarkerfan's Junk is holding a contest so head on over and tell him I sent you so we both can win something.
I am happy to say that Chris from Nachos Grande claimed my first Trade Pile with just one card in it. I thought he might when I started with a Barry Larkin. Check out his latest Trade Stack as he's up to 10 cards now.
That's all for now, gotta go coach a playoff game for my niece's team. Keep rocking your cardboard dreams.
Thanks for Reading!

Hello all. Today I come back with another blog appreciation feature from another blog I have enjoyed.
In paying tribute to (stealing his good idea with his blessing) Nachos Grande I will now feature a trade pile (see how I changed it from his "trade stack". I will start with one card in hopes of trading it for a card off my Wanted and Set Needs Table or a card not listed there that you think I may like and don't have. If nobody claims it I will add another card to the pile at random intervals until somebody grabs the deal for the whole pile. It can be one card, five cards, or even ten cards when you jump on board. First claim takes it. Pretty simple yet a great way to make a quick easy trade. I will try to add my own twist along the way in The Buffet's style to change it up a little.
Again to honor Chris's idea I will offer a Barry Larkin card to start things off.

Hey all. A quick hit before I catch up on some sleep before a 100 degree scorcher here in NYC tomorrow. A couple of contest happenings out there with some sweet prizes to report. First up This Card Is Cool has a cool card contest with 4 prizes so go on over and check it out. This blog is new to me and I like what a see so far. Another spot in Blogoland that I have just found, Buckeye State's Trading Post is also having a contest for some great looking cards so head there next. I look forward to reading this new to me blog also. Finally, I saw a really awesome story about the Texas Rangers drafting a paralyzed player in the draft the other day after he was injured on the field during the season. Check out the whole story HERE on the Sporting News website.
That's all for now. Keep rocking your cardboard dreams!
Thanks For Reading!

Hello all. Today I begin a new feature here on BA Benny's Baseball Card Buffet that I have wanted to do for a while. What I will be doing is paying homage to some of the great blogs out there that I read by basically stealing their ideas that I like and using them here. They say if you copy somebody it's a form of flattery and I truly am showing appreciation for stuff I have seen out and about in Blogoland so I hope nobody gets annoyed with me. If you don't like my using of your ideas then please let me know and I will certainly stop. I also will try to put my own little Buffet style spin on some of these so hopefully you enjoy them.
My first blog tribute will be to Cardboard Junkie. The man, the myth, the legend, a man they call Day F was kind enough to just give away some vintage cards at the end of last year for the first person to comment and nothing else so I will do the same. Today I have this vintage card for the first person to comment (and e-mail me your address) with no strings attached.

Hello all. Still crazy busy as of late but a few minutes of spare time allows me to show off some great cards I got in a trade with Eric over at Manu Patches and Chrome Scratches. Eric is a great trader and I always enjoy when we swap cards. He had some Topps 206's I needed (not pictured) and a cool Razor Letterman I liked and a trade was born.
First some Yanks.
