With three elections rounds and three envelopes, Bo is leading with six votes. Voting is about to ramp up too because I have stuff to move. I don't foresee Bo missing an opportunity to cast his A or B vote!
I'm not a difficult bribe either. Card from my wantlist are like cash. Here are a few of the bills I found in these envelopes. Set help for 2011 Lineage and 2013 Topps 72 Minis! These were listed on my Send Help tab. Bo pays attention! In case I wasn't aware Bo was hitting up my wantlist, he included the Ripken as a big fat hint.
Three of my favorite HOFers! While I'm not actively pursuing cards for these PCs, new additions to their collections are always welcome! 1995 Stadium Club and 1993 SP were two of my favorite rips in the 90s. SP was one of my first set builds. I still think it's one of the more beautiful sets from that decade.
2002 Upper Deck World Series Heroes - I love the red white and blueness of the design and the generous use of foil. Backs feature a World Series game stat. Hard to beat the checklist too. With 180 cards, it would appear I have a looong way to go. These three bring my total to 27 cards. I'm only interested in the first 90 so it's nearly 1/3 complete!
I'm also dabbling in subsets. You would think some much easier to complete than others. I've been battling to find 1991 Score Dream Team cards. Score!?!? I still need the Alomar, card 887. All 90s Score Dream Teams and Studio Heritage are going into a small binder together. I can't begin to guess how many of the DTs I gave away in Salvation Army donations.
I like the overall design of 76 & 79 Topps but only want a few special cards from each year. These include The Sporting News All-Time All Stars and All-Time Record Holders subsets. Is this too much to ask? Bo didn't think so. As I'm writing this, Lou Brock has just passed at 81 years of age. Rest in Peace, Lou. Thank you for the memories of a wild 1968 World Series!
Cards near and dear to my heart - OKC 89ers!
A sweet vintage Blackhawk from 76-77 Topps! I like this design. The team name is bold and bright against the white background. WHITE. Topps just can't let a good thing be.
Bo, thank you for the mail-in votes!! It's fun adding these totals to my spreadsheet! Good luck on Election Day!
Folks, remember your name will be added to the Great Randomizer equivalent to the number of times you voted. Every vote counts.

| CANDIDATE A |
Our most recent candidates A) 2019 Optic and B) Contenders Draft Picks were not the match I'd hoped. Shiny Optic won this round 12-6. What this means is only 18 people voted. Hate to see folks missing opportunities but it does increase the odds that a regular reader will take home the Ballot Box!
I'm gathering new candidates for the next round. Do I hear the sound of ripping in a winner's future?
