Oddball Alert

I was in Prescott, Arizona a few weeks ago and picked up a bunch of Cards in an antique mall for Isaac. These cards were part of a 2001 series released by the Arizona Department of Health Services to encourage kids to stay away from chewing tobacco. I have no idea how large this set is or even who is in it. I just thought it was cool that a set from Arizona included at least two Cardinals and has classic newpaper cartoons on the back... love the Family Circle cartoon with the boy wearing a D-backs shirt.

1970 Topps Scratch Off Game Cards

Saw these over lunch today. Not knowing much about them, I decided to pick them up as trade bait for any Cardinals in this series. Well, I just googled the set and found that there aren’t any Redbirds in the set after all. That said, these are pretty cool. The perforations are intact, as are all of the black scratch off boxes. If anyone is interested in a HOF’er oddball or a fan of the Seattle Pilots or Brewers or Indians broadcasters (Hegan is / was a broadcaster for both according to wikipedia).
