2010 RobbyT Cards: Jason Heyward, Ubaldo Jimenez, & Mat Latos

I've been slacking on getting anything up lately, but I haven't been slacking on putting together any cards. I'm up close to 300 now for 2010, which is a pretty good start for me with it still being April. I'll be getting more stuff up in the next few weeks. If anybody has any player requests let me know and I'll see what I can do!

Now on to the new stuff.....

Here's super phenom Jason Heyward clubbing a HR on Opening Day, Ubaldo Jimenez during his no-hitter, and Mat Latos sporting a bitching throwback from the '84 season.

2010 RobbyT Cards: Jon Lester, Kosuke Fukudome, & Miguel Tejada

Some great pics coming out of Spring Training so far.


Nothing much else to add tonight. Daylight Savings Time sucks. I'm sleepy, and I had a nice nap today during the Star Wars prequel trilogy on Spike this afternoon. Damn do those flicks suck.....

2010 RobbyT Cards: Dan Uggla, Tim Beckham, & Aaron Crow

I went to college with Dan Uggla. I don't remember ever seeing him on campus and I'm sure he can say the same for me. I also went to college with Mike Sweeney. I just missed by one year of going to college with Mike Bordick. I went to college for a long time.


Great photo of Tim Beckham, taken from yahoo. Get it? The Rays?


Aaron is supposed to be a big up and comer in the Royals system. He could be a big up and comer on my fantasy team's minor league roster by this time Sunday.

2010 RobbyT Cards: Cliff Lee, Joe Nathan, & Juan Castro

Today's three pack includes fellow Arkansan Cliff Lee. I'm just glad he's no longer with the Tribe so I can root for him to do well.


Also Juan Castro, who I've got on the minor league roster of my fantasy team. I have hopes for big things from him in 2010.


And then there's Joe Nathan. That bastard has owned the Tigers. I don't wish for anybody to get hurt, but I can wish for somebody to take the whole season off to get better.....

2010 RobbyT Cards 3-10-10

Here are a few more from around Spring Training.....


Today's "pack" has a hot new RC and a couple of ex-Tigers.


My 3 card packs may be small, but at the low, low price of free they are still the best value in town!

2010 RobbyT Cards Are Here!

For better or worse.....here they are!

I think for now I'm going to try and get 2-3 cards per day posted so that I'll at least have one of each team up by Opening Day. I'll be glad to take requests once the season starts and photos are a little easier to come by.

I've also got a couple of other sets planned that I'll mix in once the season starts.

2010 RobbyT Cards....

...are nearing completion, just waiting on spring training to get here so I can start getting some cards out!

I've come up with three designs this year that I really like, although in two of them when I got finished there were some similarities to some Topps issues of the past, so I'll likely make one a "Heritage" set and the other a "Retro" set.

This will be my 5th year doing my own cards and it never gets old. In fact, it's a hell of a lot more fun than plunking down $100 on cards and only getting two-thirds of a set!

Thursday Six Pack

I humbly submit the second six pack. I'll never get used to seeing Favre in a Vikings uniform.

Percy Harvin on the other hand....he's gonna be a goodun.....

I'm hoping this is the year LT gets to go to his Super Bowl. I predicted a Chargers-Saints match up in the preseason. I sure would like to see it happen.

Love him or hate him, chances are he'll have the Eagles playing the in the NFC Championship this year.

Chris Johnson. Simply awesome.

Remember back when Denver looked like they were going places? Well this is what Kyle Orton looked like when they were. It's like the 1975 San Diego Padres fielded a football team....

Sunday Six Pack: 2009 RobbyT NFL Cards Are Here!

Well, here they are. I'm hoping to do a six pack each Sunday through the Super Bowl, but since I will be out of town for a couple of Sundays around the New Year, I know it won't happen. So I may cheat and throw up a sixer or two on Thursday nights too. I'd like to get at least one for each team up before the playoffs start. We'll see how it goes.

After 4 years of doing baseball this is my first attempt at football. Okay, it's my second attempt. This season. I had a design all but finished (16 cards, one for each AFC team), but I just wasn't happy with the design. So I scrapped them and then went back to the drawing board. I'm much happier with the way these turned out.

It's a shame I have to res these down to save for the web, because the mottled background really pops on the hi-res files.

I can't put my finger on it just yet, but there is something about them that keeps making me think of early 90's Fleer football. Hopefully it's just my imagination.

I thought about doing some sort of RC designation for Johnny Knox, one of the most exciting young players in the league, but I can't stand that thing on baseball cards (since they're almost never their real RC despite that logo) so I passed.

I love throwback uniforms in all sports. These Pats unis are some of my favorite of all time, even though I'm not a Pats fan. I like the Bills, Chargers and Titans throwbacks too. The Broncos are cool in a "did they really wear that crap" kind of way. The Jets throwbacks are awful. I've yet to see the Bengals in theirs this year. Are they not participating in this thing?

Quick Update

The inaugural 2009 RobbyT football cards are coming real soon. Perhaps as early as Sunday evening.

Thanks everybody for the support and emails!

The Phillies Lose The 2009 World Series

Well, that wasn't much, was it? At least if the Yankees had to win it, Hideki Matsui was the MVP. A class act indeed. For years I've wished the Tigers would've signed him.


So that puts the 2009 baseball season to bed, but we're just getting warmed up at RobbyT Cards. Later this month we'll debut the 2009 Stat Leader Cards and probably do a little something for the 2009 Season Awards as well. I'm hoping to fill in the blanks of the long offseason with a team by team look a the cards I've done over the last two years of all the teams that didn't make the postseason, hopefully with an interesting anecdote or two thrown in for good measure. Hopefully.

With football in full force, the first every RobbyT NFL cards will be arriving shortly too!

Thanks to everybody who's stopped by and checked out the cards! It's been a lot of fun!!

Chase Utley Does It Again!

I'll keep this one short and sweet, but what a Series Chase Utley is having. With that phantastic performance in Game 5, the Phillies are still alive and now the Series moves back to New York. Hopefully the Phillies can keep the Series going as this one is shaping up to be one of the most memorable Fall Classics in quite sometime.

Yankees One Game Away

Well, it's not looking good for the Phillies.

But the last two games have had plenty of highlights.


A Rod's replay assisted HR.


Jayson Werth's 2 HR game.


Pettitte's RBI single.

But I've just about lost all interest in this series. I'll watch it, because when it's over there won't be anymore until next spring, but you can bet if the Yankees win it I'll turn it off within seconds of the last out being made.

The World Series Is Even After Two

Two solid games so far. This series looks like it's going to be a good one!


Great performances by Cliff Lee and A. J. Burnett on the mound.


A solid performance by Pedro Martinez.

Not so solid performances by the umpires again, but I'm afraid that's going to be the underlying theme of this postseason.

Utley the first lefty to hit two HR in one game off of a lefty pitcher since Babe Ruth!


Unbelievable HR by Matsui on a great pitch that couldn't have been more than a foot off the ground!


I'm guessing the games in Philly are going to get a little more intense. No complaints so far though!

Yankees Finish Off Angels

Well crap. The Yankees are going to the World Series. Great, now there will be even more shots of Kate Hudson during the games.


Ah well, it was a good series, but the Angels just came up a little short.


I'll be pulling for the Phillies, but as long as it's a great series, which I think it will be, I don't really care who wins it. This Tiger fan is really looking forward to watching the Indians best two pitchers face off against each other tomorrow night in Game 1.

Angels Stay Alive

What a great game that turned out to be. I was this close to turning it off when I decided to watch the Yankees bat in the 7th, figuring if the Angels shut them down that it would be over. What a great finish!


I bet Angels fans were loving it when Teixeira doubled in three in the 7th.


One of my favorite things about postseason baseball is watching starting pitchers make relief appearances. Jered Weaver was amazing in the 8th inning last night. Count me among those wondering if he would pitch the 9th.

On to NY for Game 6 Saturday night and hopefully a Game 7 Sunday night.

National League Champs!

Congrats to the Phillies for winning the N.L pennant.


Congrats to Ryan Howard for winning the series MVP award.


Congrats to this boring series being over. Hopefully someone in the A.L. actually gives the Phillies a tough go of it this postseason.
