maybe you've noticed, maybe you haven't.  i've made some changes to the nefarious 9 over there to the right.  if you're viewing this in mobile format, it won't make sense, so here are the 9 cards i currently covet the most.

2 - 2007 upper deck sweet spot classic steve garvey/reggie smith dual auto

3 - 2007 fleer soaring stars nomar garciaparra

5 - 1987 drake's steve sax

bonus non-dodger cards - 2009 ud o-pee-chee #36 mike pelfrey

there is a new number one on the list, and four new cards in total.  that's because i picked up a second copy of this 2004 fleer greats announcing greats featuring steve garvey and vin scully

when i first put this card on the list, i had hoped to do a dual-ttm thing, but i am pretty sure that vin isn't signing ttm anymore, so this one will go in my dodger binder while the first one i picked up stays with my garvey pc.  speaking of which, this next card would have been added to the nefarious 9 if i hadn't stumbled across it a couple of months ago.  it's a 1985 cramer spokane indians greats card of the nl iron man

i had purchased a complete set a few years ago solely to get the garvey, and so my dodger binder featured the garvey-less set.  davey lopes, bill russell, bill buckner, and tommy lasorda are among the other dodger minor leaguers to be featured in the set which is now re-completed.

doug rau isn't in that cramer set, but he was included in the 1977 kellogg's release.  i used to have this card - not sure where it went.

anyway, it was on the list and now it's not.  i'm digging the muttonchops.

from sideburns to a fu-manch, the 1993 o-pee-chee premier mike piazza card was on the list for just a couple of months.

looks like tommy there in the background, too.  it's hard to believe that there are piazza cards that i still don't own - especially ones like this.

the last nefarious 9 card that i picked up recently was the 2013 topps andre ethier 'out of bounds' sp.

it came with a copy of his regular card

which i happen to like better.

so, the list has been updated with some new pursuits.  here is the current nefarious 9:
