For the moment, I have put the Sunday Afternoon Blaster on hiatus. It is somewhat for financial reasons, but mostly it is because my local Wal Mart has run out of interesting buys. I will still occasionally buy a blaster here and there and maybe it a monthly feature or if I find a new location to purchase them it will be back and stronger than ever.
With the temporary departure of one longtime feature, I figured why not bring back another feature that has been on the shelf for a bit, the Budget eBay Collector. For those of you new readers that have not seen The Budget eBay Collector before, here is the link to the description of this idea.
I will be starting up again on June 1st, but not before I get some input from my loyal readers "i.e. you guys." In the first edition, the only limitations I put on myself were no cards from the "overproduction era" of cards (1986-1993). The second edition, I made it more difficult by limiting myself to only parallels, serially numbered cards, vintage (1975 and before), and hits. I completed both successfully.
Now my question for you is, what will the terms of this month's buying adventure be? Feel free to leave a comment with a suggestion or idea for me. My first thought was to go with an all Hall of Famer attempt, but there are many routes I could go, such as all oddball cards or all non-baseball. Let me know what you think and the more ideas the better.

How about as many cards of players that played on two specific teams? (I.E. played for both the A's and the Giants - I think there's 70-something of them.)
Or left-handed pitchers on inserts and hits?
Oddballs that weren't food issues?
Players with a q in their name?
I got a million of them.
How about 2000-2001 relic cards only?
