I have always loved 3D cards. Especially the ones that use lenticular technology. The '70s and early '80s Kellogg's cards were my favorites... Until I saw the 1995 Fish Flix Herring Team insert cards. Wow! The fish seem to boomerang right out at you!

I feel a little bad about my last post. Mmmrhubarb was nice enough to point out some of Kermit's previous advertising work. If I am going to keep posting cards on this blog, I am going to have to step my game up. Research is going to be important.

I spent this morning searching the internet for more Muppet advertising. There were a ton of commercials and advertisements, but I found one that particularly caught my interest. It is an interesting crossover between Muppets and baseball cards. (Stupid idea... I know.)

This trade comes in from Steve in Ringwood, New Jersey.

Giving: Bartolo Colon, #14 (red back)
Getting: Ken Griffey, Jr., 1998 Topps League Leader


This card of Colon is one of my favorite from the set. Why am I such a sucker for cards where the pitcher has the ball thrust at the camera? Is it because it makes him look like a little kid with a 'Look what I've got' pose? Or is it because nobody could ever look tough in a fake pitch pose? I hope I randomly pick the Carlos Zambrano card to trade, because that guy looks like he's got a score to settle. But Bartolo Colon? Eh, he's just proud that he can still grip a baseball. Look, he'll even show you...


Get something for nothing ... Trade with me!
