If you want to expact past baseball for humerous names, you can't beat NASCAR's www.tradingcarddb.com/Person.cfm/pid/23521/Dick-Trickle

-------------------------------

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

New Collection Website: Cardboard History Gallery (Still under construction)

Tips on how to make your scans look like the card does in hand (No more washed out, fuzzy scans!):

Pitcher Orval Overall? OF L.J. Hoes? ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

BOBSCARZ; Would you consider Roberto Alomar's spitting a Team 2 candidate? ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

Maybe I misunderstand your Team 2 Obscenity. You looking for cards that are obscene or players known for being obscene? Here's a candidate for STRANGE NAME First Base: Walt Dropo, 1953 Topps #121 ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

OBSCENE TEAM, like I said, will be tough...probably need to accept..anything close. Spitting in a card would be acceptable. Obscene players, gestures, words. etc ex. I found a Ray Sadecki card with a background sign cutoff reading ---ASS.

STRANGE NAMES TEAM

1B - Walt Dropo, think Razor Shines played 1st as well.

C - How about Yogi Berra or we really might have to "dip" into the early 1900s.

Thanks Guys

OBSCENE: Claude Raymond, pitcher, 1966 Topps #586; his fly is open ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

STRANGE NAME catcher is tough; you're right about having to go back into the early 1900s, how about Pickles Dilhoeffer, 1919-21 W514 #71. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*
