Bay Cardboarding

Yep, Bay, as in ebay, I can't help myself. First stop, Bleacher Seats, love that cheap shipping for all you want, and they package so well. The first thing I picked up was some more team sets.

2010 Topps Series two (11 cards)

the Upton & Garza photos are different from Opening Day, nice

and a 2010 Bowman (10 cards)


and the reason i pick up the team sets is because they are cheaper than a pack from the store and its free shipping because the blue and gold parallels are the real reason for the order




Check out the back of the Throwback card

What a great photo
if I ever get a "you sketch it" card
i think i found my photo

Well under budget, i found two other cards i needed

a die cut and pretty blue insert
its funny how it says pennant run and talks about the playoffs
but there is a huge empty section in the stands
which leads me to believe the photo is definitely not from the play-offs

Thanks for checking TWIC

Blast from the Past



Since the Rays had a day off I decided to pick a random game that I had missed since I just started my endeavor and do a sketch card from a past game. I am still trying to figure out how I want to handle these. I am trying a border today along with some ink pen for the text, also using new color pencils, instead of just the blue col-erase. Feedback is always welcome :)

New Blog!!



In an effort to keep my collecting separate from my sketch cards, I have created a spin off blog called ChrOko Cards. I will be posting my sketch cards there from now on. Please feel free to let me know if you think this is a bad, good or silly idea.
