Before 1988, I only bought Topps. At the time, I was attracted to the set design. The 1989 design was even more impressive to me. The big drawback was the thin card stock common to Donruss throughout the 1980s and even into thee 1990s.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01044751794388519596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20684429.post-3267500791024722112014-10-13T10:02:37.446-04:002014-10-13T10:02:37.446-04:00I have to say that I think this is a brilliant ide...I have to say that I think this is a brilliant idea. I second the earlier comment about this having good potential for a web series, assuming there was sufficient witty banter being exchanged around the table (and the 88 Donruss set probably provides opportunities for that in spades, as would other sets).<br /><br />I also give big points for the idea of using an 88 Beckett for the prices. My memory is a bit hazy but I think that would have made Greg Jefferies, Sam Horn and Matt Nokes among the more valuable cards?

I've been a fan of The Baseball Card Blog for a long time, but haven't really checked in much over the past year or so (coinciding with the length of time it's been since I've written a post on my own blog). I just happened to click on this post tonight and saw the information about the game. It just so happens that Knight Moves is in my neighborhood (of there weren't a building in the way I could practically throw a baseball from my apartment to the place). And it's only a couple days until the event too. If I happened to check this post in a few days I would have missed out on it. Hopefully I can make it to this interesting sounding game (as a spectator). Great stuff!Glenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729869327075752532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20684429.post-9434688683367231412014-09-11T22:33:46.063-04:002014-09-11T22:33:46.063-04:00I think my question was lost in my wording, but I ...I think my question was lost in my wording, but I think it has been answered.

Some will get no bids.<br /><br />Keep in mind. You don't get to open all of the packs at once. They come out in groups and you won't have every card when the auctions come up, so you'll be competing to get those that you need and to keep your opponents from getting what they need.matt.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10833272270582115781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20684429.post-22406111774894144242014-09-11T15:34:19.104-04:002014-09-11T15:34:19.104-04:00Ok, having now read the rules, I have questions:
...Ok, having now read the rules, I have questions:<br /><br />What is the Judge's master set? Is it a complete set of whatever packs the players are busting? <br /><br />Ok, then there's this:<br /><br />"The Auction stage is included in the game until all cards from the Master Set have been auctioned."<br /><br />That begs the question, why would all the Judge's master set ever be auctioned if the goal is just to complete a set? There should be loads of cards leftover from Judge's master set because of all the cards pulled from packs.<br /><br />Maybe this is just one of those things that makes more sense after watching a round or two.<br />Jason Presleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543465200431539036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20684429.post-58742392176346152152014-09-11T15:26:34.198-04:002014-09-11T15:26:34.198-04:00While the potential audience would likely be very ...While the potential audience would likely be very small, this could make for a fun web show like Geek & Sundry's TableTop.
