Sorry for the lack of posts lately–I haven’t forgotten or given up, I just picked a really crappy time to start a blog devoted to football cards, heading into the offseason.  And even with the new product coming out, it’s kind of a lull right now, as mandatory mini camps just don’t do much for me. 

I will get back on the Card of the Week bandwagon here pretty soon–been working on another couple of themes ideas to run with, and trying to pull together enough interesting cards to last hopefully until training camp.

Like I said, though, there are some new products hitting the shelves, like 2008 Playoff Prestige.  Unfortunately, I’m on a bit of a budget right now, since I went a little nuts on eBay a couple months back, and I’m getting ready for a little side trip to Vegas (I really hate it when the wife’s company sends her there).  More on that in a bit.

I also actually did pick up a bunch of Playoff Prestige in 2007, and I don’t remember being all that impressed.  So I think I’ll hold off for now, and I’ll let Gellman over at Sports Card Uncensored review it for you (if you haven’t been to his site before, I definitely recommend checking it out–as long as there are no eyes or ears sensitive to language in the room).

Back to the Vegas trip–anybody got any thoughts on some early Super Bowl bets to place?  I’m thinking of throwing down a bet on my Vikings–seems like I do every year for fun, and I like the Jared Allen deal, although I’m not convinced it makes us a frontrunner, but I also like the 30:1 odds their getting right now.  Anyone else got any thoughts?
