[Part II]
[Part III]
I "won" a prize, in that I managed to have the worst bracket of all in Cards on Cards March Radness contest. I legitimately tried to win, in fact I didn't even realize there was this consolation prize until the contest was over, because I stopped scoreboard watching about 2 rounds into the tournament because I did so poorly to start off. The good thing about winning cards from a fellow Cardinals fan is that he can't resist dumping a whole bunch of his Cardinal duplicates on me, which I'm more than happy to take.
That's right, there's still more cards to go in this series. Kerry outdid himself on this prize.

| 1994 Fleer Extra Bases #356 Rene Arocha #359 Gregg Jefferies #362 Mike Perez #364 Bob Tewksbury #366 Todd Zeile |
This is a cool set, but if you've ever seen them, you know these aren't minis, these are larger than usual cards. Without doing any research or measuring at all, I'd say they're 1 inch taller than a regular card, so 2.5" by 4.5". Does anybody have any good ideas for how to store these? The best idea I have off the top of my head is storing them in a 500 count box front to back instead of side to side, but I only own 5 of them now. Surely I can't get ambitious again and put another set on my wantlist when I only have 5, can I?

| 1991 Score #677 Donovan Osborne |

| 1992 Score #516 Geronimo Pena |
I don't remember as much about Geronimo Pena, except he was a solid platoon second basemen for a few years.

| 1992 Baseball Enquirer - Unopened Pack |
Here's another unopened pack. I don't know anything about this set, but it looks to be unlicensed, a gag they explain away by calling them "Mystery Interview" cards. That's obviously a certain famous gambler on the back betting his card will be worth a fortune. I haven't opened this pack yet, so maybe I'll save it for the same day I open the 1988 Donruss pack.
