Free-agent blog The Hall of Very Good has signed with Bloguin. Due to the late date of the transaction, Topps will have to airbrush the Bloguin logo onto HOVG’s cap for it’s next Traded/Update set.
Hopefully it comes out better than these ten terrible airbrush jobs of the past.
Random Fact: Before Williams became a Hall of Fame manager, he successfully appeared on the television quiz shows The Match Game and the original Hollywood Squares.
