Support My Blog (and Others)!

Three announcements for this morning:

1.  I have a bunch of cards on Listia right now (mostly 2013 Topps Allen & Ginter's inserts) that are ending shortly.  If you use this link to sign up to Listia, you and I both get "bonus credits" which is nice.  If you are already on Listia, you can find my full auction listings here.  This can be a great way to get cards for "free" - and I use the credits to either get other cards for myself OR for LEGOs (you know, to support my other blog that's been woefully neglected lately).  I will say, in terms of LEGOs, that I actually have a lot to talk about - and show off.  Unfortunately, those take a lot more time since I have to use a camera and then upload photos to my computer...it's really more an issue of my laziness rather than a lack of material to write about.

2.  My blogger bracket contest is off and running.  Here's the link to the current round - plus if you scroll to the comments section you'll find a link to each contestant's post.  There's so much good stuff happening in Round 0, I've been incredibly impressed!

3.  I'm going to continue to use Listia (and maybe eBay) to try and get rid of some more stuff that I don't want.  My want list is much too large - and the only way to whittle it down is to clear out some of the undesirable stuff to make room for things I need.  However, I'd much, much rather work out a trade as compared to paying eBay (and PayPal) fees...so I'll often post stuff on the blog first before I list it to be sold elsewhere.  For instance, I have a small pile of 2013 Gypsy Queen mini cards that I'd like to get rid of - here's the full list (I have other 2013 Gypsy Queen cards available for trade listed here):
