A great Tom Seaver card. It's nice to see him get some Reds love. While I love all the Mets stuff Topps puts out to celebrate Tom Terrific's days in NY, he had some great outings with the Reds that should be recognized.<br />

Hello all. A Mets milestone was reached last night as David Wright became the all time NY Mets hit leader. He passed Mets legend Ed Kranepool who finished with 1418 hits in a Metropolitan's uniform while David Wright is now at 1422 after today's day game where he hit a 3 run homer to reach that number.</div>

It's a great coincidence that I met both players on the same day and had them sign the same ball. I did a post about that day <a href="http://babennysbaseballcardbuffet.blogspot.com/2012/07/autographed-baseballs-post-ala-fuji.html">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now let's see what other categories Mr. Wright leads besides hits, doubles, and total bases now.<br />
<br />
Runs scored ~ 789 (Reyes second at 735, Kranepool ninth at 536)<br />
RBI's ~ 816 (Strawberry second at 733, Kranepool fifth at 614)<br />
Walks ~ 614 (Strawberry second at 580, Kranepool eighth at 454)<br />
Runs scored on a tag up ~ 58 (Tied with Kranepool)<br />
Extra base hits 544 ~ (Strawberry second at 469 (Kranepool seventh at 368)<br />
<br />
He's also second and third in a few other categories.<br />
<br />

If the Mets do the right thing and sign him to another long term deal David wright will lead all time in <strong>most</strong> of the Mets offensive categories by far.<br />
<br />
Congrats to David Wright on this Mets Milestone.<br />
<br />
<br />
That's all for now. Keep rocking your cardboard dreams!<br />

Hello all. While the NFL lockout of officials has become a national story and made the games almost a joke in my opinion one must ask the question "Where is Roger Goodell, the commissioner?" My local sports morning show featuring Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton sum it up very well. Check it out <strong><a href="http://newyork.cbslocal.com/audio/1566-boomer-carton-extras/9-26-craig-sounds-off-on-goodell/">HERE</a></strong>. It's about ten minutes and Craig gets a little nuts but the point is right on.<br />

I am back with another auction style trade bait post calling it Benny-Bay. (If you have a better name let me know) Here is how it works:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"> I will put up a card or cards for trade and you can bid on them with cards of your own to trade. After a predetermined time I will accept the "best" offer and the cards go to the winner. Now book value does not have to be a factor, it's the offer I like best that will win. Obviously you know what I like so those types of offers will carry more weight. While I am not looking for money as offers but I would certainly have to consider a cash offer if you were to make one. I really am looking for a new fun way to trade. Depending on the cards I am offering I may or may not have a "reserve" on the auctions. I don't want to trade a decent relic or auto for a 1990 Donruss Julio Machado that I already have a dozen of. Once I set a bid as a leader the reserve has been met and the auction is on. If it is a "no reserve" auction then the first bid sets the bar and we go from there. I will make it clear as to any reserve level on a particular card or cards I put up. You can make bids in the comments section of the post and I will keep updating as to which offer is in the lead as the auction progresses. You can bid as often as you like and can add to a bid or change it as you wish. Tell your friends and let's have some fun with this.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This auction is starting now and it will run until Tuesday 9/25 around 9:00 pm Eastern time. Here are the cards up for grabs.</div>

Hello all. I've been crazy busy with work and doctors appointment with my wife who has recently diagnosed with MS and a weekend trip to Pennsylvania to visit family from 3 different states in for a visit has had me away from the blog for a bit but I have a small window here for a fast "Patch Card of the day".<br />

This is a real nice Ike Davis patch with an auto and additional jersey swatch to boot. I liked the Marquee product but didn't buy much since Topps totally over priced it. <br />

Hello all. I got delayed last night so I will now post the winner of my contest. Thanks to all who commented, it seems everybody had pretty much the same reaction to how Topps did me wrong. To be honest most of you seemed more pissed off then I was and I love the way you all had my back. So let's get to the winner now. There were 25 comments so that's 25 entrants.

Hello all. I've got 6 words for you. ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?! That's right, the NFL season begins tonight. Cowboys at Giants is a marquee match up and a good choice for the opener. I like the idea that the NFL adopted a few years back where the Superbowl Champion gets to be the first and only game on opening night. It wouldn't be a sports card buffet if I didn't show some cards now would it so here we are. I will lead with my third favorite team, the defending champions, the New York Football Giants. I am not sure about the rest of the country but here in NYC the Giants don't get the respect they deserve, 2 Superbowl's in 5 years is quite an accomplishment but still no respect. Only a 3 1/2 point favorite at home against a Dallas team most likely without Jason Witten is truly an insult. Now as a Jets fan I am not thrilled with the last few years from the management side and loud mouth coach with no real accomplishments and that has caused a shift in the media coverage here as well. Now it's all about what stupid thing the Jets coach said or what stupid move the front office has made for the sake of headlines (Tebow, etc.) and the Giants get forgotten about. Now I am a life long Jets fan and root hard for them when they play against the Giants but it still isn't right, the Giants deserve a lot more respect then they get around here. On to the cards.</div>

A trio of Eli Manning's! He has definitely become one of the elite QB's in the league. Saturday Night Live just re aired his show from back in May this week. He was hilarious.<br />

Some more guys who should make some noise tonight. Nicks, Kiwanuka, and Jernigan. (sweet patch)<br />
<br />
Now I can't post football cards without a few from my 2 favorite teams.<br />

D'Brick, Sanchez, and Green are 3 critical players to the Jets success or failures this season.<br />

It should be interesting to see how the Saints handle all the off season turmoil this year. These three cogs in their offense hopefully come through. Brees, Graham, and Colston.<br />
<br />
I can say for sure that I am ready for some football. I think most Mets fans are. Now it's your turn.....<br />

You may say, <span style="color: #7f6000;">"</span><span style="color: #7f6000;">what's the big deal Benny, some nice cards but nothing too extreme there.</span> I would say <span style="color: #0c343d;">"take a closer look."</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The price $ 3.49 including shipping. That's 38.778 cents per card. Not too bad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Look closer. No not the fact that all the cards are <span style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">off cente</span></span><span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">r </span>to some degree. That was common back during that time. Look, every player fits into my collection. Yep, 7 non Mets and Yankees that I player collect plus 2 Yankees. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You may say <span style="color: #7f6000;">"but Benny, you didn't have any of those Topps cards already?"</span> I would have to answer you <span style="color: #0c343d;">"Sure I have several of these cards from Topps however..........</span></div>

<span style="color: #0c343d;">these cards are not Topps, they're all O-Pee-Chee cards."</span> That's right, printed in Canada, with French words and everything. I don't have too many of the O-Pee-Chee cards from back in the day so these are great additions to the binders. Except for the centering they are in very good shape so I really like the deal I scored. Like I said, it doesn't take much to make me happy.</div>

Contest? Sure, Why Not.<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #0c343d;"> Before I start this post let me remind everybody that I am not a Topps hater, complainer, purist, and am usually very happy with the customer service I have had in several issues I have contacted Topps about. Let it also be known that I don't usually do posts like this but I figured I could have a little fun with it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hello all. Let's all play a little game today called "How Did Topps Do?". I received the replacement for my back ordered Diamond Give Away card from back I don't know how long ago. First let me give you a little back story. I called Topps a couple of weeks ago in reference to a missing hit from my 2012 jumbo football box. The rep was very helpful and gave me all the correct instructions for getting said missing hit. I then inquired about a missing hit from a box of 2008 Ginter I bought on a whim 2 or 3 months ago at my LCS. They very nicely told me that there was nothing they could do. Not too cool in my book, a substitution couldn't be too hard to find but they said no dice. OK, I wasn't really too surprised at that but a little disappointed. Finally I inquired about the back ordered card from my give away haul. The rep explained that Topps was trying to find the cards (that they promised mind you) on the secondary market and would continue to do so until September. If they could not find the card that was requested they would send a replacement from the year prior to the missing card along with an additional card to make up for it. I figured OK, I really wanted the card I picked but if they came up short I would get an older card plus one, not great but not terrible either. First let me show you the missing card I wanted. </div>

Pretty cool card. Let's see why I wanted this card. </div>
<ul>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Jim Palmer collection ~ The main reason I wanted it.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1970 Topps ~ Not too many of these in my binders.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Washington Senators player ~ A team no longer around in that form, cool factor goes up a notch.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Old Yankee Stadium in background ~ Way cool to see the old (pre 70's renovation) stadium.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
OK, now let's see how Topps did. I receive a bubble mailer today from them and figured maybe my missing football hit was early, that would be great, or maybe the Ryan Braun redemption from back in mid May was finally here. After I ripped it open I was a little surprised to find this letter. Right click and open in separate window to blow it up. Go ahead, we'll wait while you read it.</div>

OK now your back, cool. Let's examine the letter a bit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Dear Valued Customer" ~ Nice, they like me, they really, really like me!</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"Thank you for participating" ~ You're quite welcome, I enjoyed the Diamond Give Away.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"We have worked diligently to satisfy your order" ~Really? Giving away cards not in your possession was diligent? </div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"We have not been able to fulfill your Individual request" ~ Hmmm, the several I found listed on E-Bay for 69 cents were too much? How about the one on COMC for 40 cents? Oh, it has flaws, you would never send a card with flaws.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"One of which is from the same year as the card you unlocked" ~ Maybe you should inform your reps of that since they are clearly misinformed.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"As we believe these to be great cards" ~ We will see about that but you are the professionals so you should know.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"We hope you enjoy these cards" ~ I will do my best.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
OOPS! Year before, same year, year after, I guess they were real diligent when they picked that card. </div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Flaws ~ well you can judge for yourself.</div>
</li>
<li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Bonus card ~ Player is Great, set was over produced, card is in great shape.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They believe these are "great cards" ~ Boy I hope they are blowing smoke up our ass because if they really believe that we are all in trouble as collectors. </div>

Hello all. Kyle over at <a href="http://bbchof.blogspot.com/">Juuust A Bit Outside</a> (JABO) hosted a group break a few weeks back (#13)and I was lucky enough to pick up the Mets and Yankees.

Three of the 19 hits ended up in my package. Scott Hyde and Mike Carp were a couple of Mets prospects that didn't really pan out. Carp is in Seattle now and I couldn't find any info on Hyde after he went 4-4 for the Brooklyn Cyclones in 04 and then missed 05 due to Tommy John surgery and it appears that ended his career.<br />
I can't not be happy with a Pettitte jersey card either. <br />
Like I said I did very well in the break.<br />

I also picked up a 2012 Ginter Gee relic from a lot that Kyle was selling off and he also traded me a Vlad relic from the unclaimed Angels and a sweet 59 Dodgers team card he had. Thanks Kyle for an awesome break and trade, I look forward to break #14. (Some spots for #14 may still be available)<br />

Today I am trying something new here on The Buffet. I will be having auction style trade posts calling it Benny-Bay. (If you have a better name let me know) Here is how it will work:<br />
<span style="color: #444444;"> I will put up a card or cards for trade and you can bid on them with cards of your own to trade. After a predetermined time I will accept the "best" offer and the cards go to the winner. Now book value does not have to be a factor, it's the offer I like best that will win. Obviously you know what I like so those types of offers will carry more weight. While I am not looking for money as offers but I would certainly have to consider a cash offer if you were to make one. I really am looking for a new fun way to trade. Depending on the cards I am offering I may or may not have a "reserve" on the auctions. I don't want to trade a decent relic or auto for a 1990 Donruss Julio Machado that I already have a dozen of. Once I set a bid as a leader the reserve has been met and the auction is on. If it is a "no reserve" auction then the first bid sets the bar and we go from there. I will make it clear as to any reserve level on a particular card or cards I put up. You can make bids in the comments section of the post and I will keep updating as to which offer is in the lead as the auction progresses. You can bid as often as you like and can add to a bid or change it as you wish. Tell your friends and let's have some fun with this.</span><br />
<br />
I will have my first auction starting now and it will run until Thursday 8/30 around 9:00 pm Eastern time. Here are the first cards up for grabs.<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong><u><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">UPDATE:</span></u></strong> first and highest bid is <span style="color: #444444;"> a and g code list (jake perry, lindeman, kring, lennie guttman, bloodstained pin, lennie's ring) and base card 50</span>. <br />

<br />
<br />
On a similar note, I have begun listing and bidding a little bit on<strong> Listia</strong>. I put the link on top of the right sidebar to join. If you use that link we both get bonus credits. <a href="http://fanofreds.blogspot.com/">Nachos Grande</a> turned me on to it and it is pretty fun. It's a cool way to get some "free" cards and other stuff so it's worth checking out so bid here and then go join there.<br />

My run in NachosGrande's contest has come to an end in a super close (2votes) battle. I thank all who voted for me in all the rounds and wish the remaining competitors the best of luck in the remaining rounds. Congrats Brian (<a href="http://bapple2286.wordpress.com/">30 Year Old Cardboard</a>) on beating me to advance, your post was great.<br />
On to other business, I was in <a href="http://thorzul.blogspot.com/">Thorzul's</a> July and Mondo breaks recently and came out with a pretty nice haul. I had the Mets as usual.<br />
The July break was a little thin but that's the risk with random lots. Here are the highlights.<br />

Hello all. I'm getting ready to settle in and watch my favorite Nascar short track race, Bristol! Talladega is my favorite super speedway and Dover is my favorite intermediate track I went to Dover for ten years back in the late 90's and early 2000's and it is a fantastic place to watch a race. I haven't made it to Bristol yet but maybe someday. Bristol's 36 degree banking of a half mike track equals speed and excitement. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are some cards to get you in the mood.</div>
