Happy Valentine's Day!

Once again it's Valentine's Day and the sweets are pouring in. Here's a picture. Girls generally give gifts on Valentine's Day, and guys return the favor next month, March 14th, on White Day.

2012 Allen & Ginter Want List

Want list last updated 4-4-2013. E-mail me for a trade!

I've been super-busy these past couple weeks as I continue to try to clean up, catalog, and organize a lot of the stuff I've accumulated over the past year. I've done well with cards, but souvenirs and such have been somewhat neglected. Plus, having just passed my one-year anniversary of teaching in Japan, I needed to give my apartment a thorough cleaning - one which isn't really done yet. 

Anyway, I'm going to knock this out pretty quick. If you have any of the cards below and would like to trade, let me know. Remember, I'm in Japan so I can usually only offer Japanese cards. Kenny gave me a bunch of singles so if you have needs in A&G and Heritage I'll be glad to work something out with you but I'm dragging a bit on the turnaround time. I hope to get to the post office to ship off a couple packages I owe (sorry Scott, Nachos).

Any help is appreciated! Leave a comment or email me, thanks! Hopefully I'll have time for a good post tomorrow...

Report SPAM. Please help!

Spam blogs are a big problem on the internet. They steal others' posts to drive traffic to their sites, and then they add advertisements or phony links to earn money.

There's a spam blog out there stealing posts from one of my blogs, This Card Is Cool. Literally stealing. If you want proof, go to Google, and search for "Baseball Card Stores in Japan" (use the quotes). You'll see their (stolen) posts first, then mine. There are a couple other spam blogs ripping off my site, but the one at the top of the search lists is the worst - they don't even attribute the posts to me. And it's not just my blog; they're stealing at least one other person's posts.

You can help. Report the site to Google as spam by following this link. It should auto-fill in the URL of the offending site. Then click submit. That's all you need to do. By the way, I'm not mentioning the name of the site or driving traffic to it. If you follow the search above, you can discover the site and see for yourself.

I'm cross-posting this on my three blogs to hopefully help get this site removed quickly. I reported it about a week ago, when I was alerted to its presence, but the site remains.

Thank you for your help!
