Minor league baseball cards from the past can include some weird stuff ... sometimes stuff you wouldn't imagine to be found on a baseball card. Here are some some new fun cards and oddities in this latest edition of MiLB Madness. 

THE DOUBLE FEATURE
The Card: Kazoo & Diamond 2025 Choice Pensacola Blue Wahoos
The Buzz On This: In Hollywood, there's an old saying to "never work with children or animals" as they'll steal an actor's thunder, but when it comes to baseball cards at the MiLB level the animals and the mascots might reign when it comes to novelty cardboard. The card back says it all here -- the mascot is the veteran sharing his card with the rookie. You won't find this kind of star power teaming up in pretty much any MLB sets.

Keep reading for more examples of some weird or fun baseball cards you can find in and around MiLB.

Take a minute and answer some hot-take questions and make some NFL picks -- and if you're at the top of the mountain when it's all over then you get some free cards.

It's always that simple.

YourDozen.com is back with more free cardboard up for grabs to one lucky winner -- this time it's for this weekend's NFL action as well as some Majority Rules questions. Those questions are simple -- whatever gets the most votes is the winning answer -- and we've sprinkled in those along with the traditional picks. The end result is still the same -- whomever has the most correct answers once the dust settles wins free cards.

You have until 3 p.m. on Sunday to get your picks in. (Do it now -- one of the tiebreakers is who entered first.) The prize remains a mystery item.

>>> CLICK HERE TO ENTER <<< 

Did you get in on last week's action? Check the leaderboard and contact fish@blowoutcards.com to claim your prize if you're the winner.

How does it work? It's short and simple. Register and you'll get a dozen questions where your answers will be compiled and compared to others. Whomever gets the most correct gets the prize -- or at least a shot at it if there's a tie.

The goal with YourDozen.com? Have a little fun and get free stuff into some of your hands.

My first Banana Ball was one that got gnawed on during a game -- literally -- but this one, this time?

It brings the pain.

This month's item in my Collecting Game-used series is my third gem in a triple crown of game-used baseballs landed directly from the Savannah Bananas. Despite what you see above, this is no tall tale with this baseball -- it's fully authenticated, video-documented and has some ink to detail its story, too.

Keep reading to see the details this time ... and the ball in action.
