What's at Stake for 2012

In the very first post of the HandyJ blog there were hints at what the grand prize is. However, there weren't and guesses. So, now that the league is about to begin, let us take a stroll back a month ago and see what the hints were.


  1. Not a DVD of Kung Fu Panda
  2. "Into the sun the south the north, at last the birds have flown, the shackles of commitment fell, in pieces on the ground"
  3. 60 years, "beaters" and "wax" = Diamonds
Before I give them away, I will say that there was a secret surprise to whoever made a correct guess. Looks like I will save them for something later. 

Anyway, prize one is a 2011 Topps Lineage certified on-card Autograph of San Francisco's Pablo Sandoval. Book Value $12. Card two is 2010 Topps Allen & Ginter Mini Framed jeresy relic of Ryan Howard of the Phillies. Again, book value at $12. Prize three is the 2011 Topps Diamond Anniversary Series one complete set. The set includes, 2 Strasburg's, 2 Posey's, Braun, Pujols, Mantle, Freeman Rookie card, Chapman Rookie card, Votto, Stanton, Castro and a Yonder Alonso rookie card error card. Bazinga, indeed.

Also included is the complete mini set of Allen & Ginter's World's Most Mysterious Figures as well as some odds and end of weird things, like Copernicus!

Hell, sell it on ebay for a pretty penny. That's how I find a lot of it.

  2. This is the grand prize for being champion of the 2012 season. Also included is the 2011 Topps series one Diamond Anniversary set. That set was put together by hand by me. There are also a few bonus cards for the grand prize, a JD Drew bat card from 2002( I think) and some odds and ends from Topps, UD and Allen & Ginter. Plus mini cards.
