Pink Week:Day 2

Collecting Cutch runs a second base filled month of pink cards over on his blog and has recently challenged us bloggers to post pink cards and get comments on said cards. For every post we make that features a pink card, and YOU GUYS comment on, he will donate $1 per comment to Save Second Base.

 So I am thinking, the more posts, the more comments, the more I challenge him to donate. So I have grouped six groups of pink cards to show off this week and am CHALLENGING YOU to comment on each post.

I probably had enough pink cards to go the whole month, but, I will cut Cutch a break and just do it for six days.

I will say though, I am not doing this just for Cutch's challenge sake, I am doing this because it hits close to home as well as my mother-in-law had Breast Cancer and I saw all that she had to go through with treatments to clear herself of it. She has now been 5 years clear. I wouldn't wish that upon anyone so the more we can save Second Base, the better.

Here are today's cards,

 

If you want to make your own private donation please visit the National Breast Cancer Foundation.  There is a donate button on the main page and it only takes a minute of your time.  Every little bit helps.

So comment below and leave me your thoughts on the players featured in this post, your favorite pink cards, or what Save Second Base Means to you.

Spreading The Awareness

I can't believe we are in November already. Most of the leaves around me have fallen and we have already seen on and off snow. Not much has accumulated yet, fortunately, but there has been enough to alarm me that it's coming. The temps have also went from 80's to barely touching 40's and that's on a warm day. Fall is turning over to winter day by day.

I would have felt like October never existed if it hadn't been for Collecting Cutch blog. Every October he hosts a Breast Cancer Awareness month with posts full of pink cards and pretty ladies displaying what the awareness is all about. I had to check out his posts daily of course.

I appreciate the work that he puts in on the blog for the month to raise awareness for this great cause. My Mother In Law had Breast Cancer a few years ago and luckily survived chemo and radiation treatments. She is doing great today but many don't survive or feel great after. Cancer is a very ugly disease.

For commenting and joining in on his posts, Cutch recently passed along some cards for my support. It to me wasn't even about the cards, it was more about supporting his cause. But, cards are a bonus here.

Like a calling card with any of his packages, he always graciously tosses in some Cutch cards. Surprisingly I didn't have any of these.

He also surprised me with a couple of NY Giants items I didn't have either.

This small set of 2011 Topps NFL Crucial Catch Giants cards. I have never seen these before. Pretty cool. They came in a sealed pack and I plan on keeping them that way.

And then this amazing Odell Beckham Jr featuring a pink towel swatch. Once again, it's the crucial catch campaign. You can also tell this by the Breast Cancer awareness symbol in the corner and the fact that Odell is making a "catch"

Thank you for the prizes Cutch and for your awareness every October.

If you haven't checked out his blog and what I am talking about, go HERE and look at every post in October. You will have a good time.
