2016 Topps Wal-mart Marketside Pizza Cards Ultimate Brewers Checklist and Gallery

Only one card in the set to worry about if you're a Brewers fan.  These cards were found in specially marked take and bake Marketside pizzas at Wal-mart stores.  Packs were unlabeled silver and contained 3 cards.

2015 Topps Strata Ultimate Brewers Checklist and Gallery

Topps is taking Strata to a higher end configuration with only 2 cards per box, both hits, one auto and one relic.  Surprisingly the Brewers do have cards in this product.  Mostly Braun, but Robin Yount also gets a couple new cards.  Images to come after release.

2014 Topps Five Star Baseball Ultimate Brewers Checklist and Gallery

It doesn't surprise me that the checklist is kind of short with Brewers and that two retire Brewers have most of the cards.  There are also some nice Milwaukee Braves featured in the set, but those have not been included in the checklist.

Bob's your Uncle?

This is way old news, but since I'm taking a trip back to the motherland this spring and plan on making at least one game at Miller Park, since I've never been there.  I wanted to see if perhaps there might be a giveaway.  The wife and I were planning on trying to make the Brewers - Cubs Series near the end of April. And it just so happens there is a bobblehead giveaway on Sunday, but I think we were planning on going to the Saturday game.

But here is the list of 2013 Bobblehead giveaways announced last November and a couple of released BH photos.

April 7th - Norichika Aoki

April 21st - George Scott

May 5th - Cory Hart

May 26th Ryan Braun

June 9th Carlos Gomex

June 23rd Polish Sausage

July 7th Hank Aaron!

August 4th Harvey Kuenn

September 1st Gorman Thomas

September 15th Ben Oglivie

Joy!!!!!!!

Holy Crap, we get Ryan Braun all Year!!!!!!

Ryan Braun NL 2011 MVP!!!

Well it's a nice conciliation prize to not having gone to the World Series.  Ryan Braun was just named this years NL MVP.

By now I'm sure anyone who's a baseball fan knows this.  So congrats to the Hebrew Hammer and to Justin Verlander for his AL MVP award.  And it's only 88 days till spring training!!

Joy!!!

I was pleasantly surprised to see that Ryan Braun signed a 5 year, $105 million, extension to put him in a Milwaukee uniform till 2020.   After reading the article it made me make up my mind and decide to add Ryan Braun to the list of Players I actively collect. Sure I already collect Brauns cards as a matter of course being a Brewers fan and collection Brewers team sets and cards, but now it's official and he might even get his own album and box.  Such an honor has only been bestowed to a few greats.  My 3 HOF Player collections, Rollie Fingers, Robin Yount, and Reggie Jackson, my other two favorite baseball players growing up, Frank Thomas and Bo Jackson, my only "current" football player, Brett Favre, and I'm probably soon going to announce that Jordy Nelson and Aaron Rodgers get the official nod too, although Rodgers cards are currently hella expensive.  I had been toying with adding Prince Fielder to that list but seeing as he probably will be with another team next year I'm holding off. 

So welcome Ryan to Cynicalbuddha's hallowed halls of collectingdom!  I'm hoping that this card will be the next in my collection as well.
