Maddux Mania and Who Let The Dogs Out?

Not much to this post, just showing off a Greg Maddux card I won on Listia and some cards of dogs (none of which are playing poker).


My first 2015 card is from the Archetypes insert set.  It was 499 credits I think, so it was worth it.


While I still think there are too many inserts, I like the design of this one.

Well, now let's see some dogs.


I'm not sure why SI For Kids did this, but eh, whatever.  I had to scan it to add it to the Trading Card Database, so here it is.  It even has stats for the dogs.


Oh yeah, and kids, BY THIS BOOK!  I guess that's why they promoted the cards.  Anyways, I also scanned some Goldfish, so might as well show them off too.



I think that's enough damage for one night, so thanks for reading and have a great night.

  1. The dog cards are kind of weird. One of the SI for Kids editors must have been on acid.

    1. I was a bit upset when I realized it was all to promote a book, but then I realized I had a free subscription, and had better things to worry about. I would have liked to have had actual cards though.

    2. Yeah, that was my thought as well. But then I remembered that the only reason I was even getting the magazine was because the MagsForMiles subscription helped keep the rest of my airline miles from expiring.

  2. SI For Kids has done some bizarre stuff in the past - Eric Lindros in a dress, for instance- but this may be the oddest of all. Is it wrong that it made me happy to see they included NASCAR? I can't decide.

    1. My favorite was the Edwards one. Sometimes I forget I'm not the target audience and question what they do. I will admit they do have a frequent amount of NASCAR so I can't complain too much.

    2. if they don't come out with a new company for NASCAR, they may be the only ones producing cards...and I may need to resubscribe to the magazine just to get them. My last subscription was 1997, I believe.

  3. Oh man, those are classic SI for Kids weird ones. I loved getting that magazine as a kid.
