Yes, you're reading that right: every matchup last week resulted in an upset -- including an unthinkable 16-over-1 takedown from underdog Al Martin over Bob Locker.
The voting was fairly close across the board, but in the end the Davids beat the Goliaths -- consider the bracket busted.
--------------------
The Alvarado region is already shaping up to be crazier than the card it takes its name from, if such a thing is possible.
Perhaps even more upsets are in the works -- let's find out with the final four matchups on this side of the bracket.

That's it for this week's matchups. The polls are now on the sidebar.
Happy voting!

Dang,Moon went down!
For the life of me, I still can't figure out that Gary Pettis card. That's before the days of photoshopping, right? How did they do that?
I'm guessing the Pettis is some kind of test printing. Note the lack of a hologram.
Don't blame me...I voted for Locker! And don't blame me when that Eusebio goes down. THAT is what a baseball card should look like! (Well, the photo, mostly. The design is fine but nothing special.)
With the exception of the Pettis... everyone I voted for was losing when I submitted my vote. I guess it's true... I enjoy rooting for the underdogs.
Bob Locker went down harder than Bob Zupcic!
I don't know how a card is considered a "favorite" in this but all of those results seem reasonable to me, some great cards moving on in the bracket.
Votes are in! I think folks like the quirkiness of the Pettis card. I have a few copies myself. Eusebio got my vote though. One more card on my wantlist!
