Dingo 2013-14 Canberra Cavalry - Series One Checklist

Here is the checklist for series one of the 2013-14 Canberra Cavalry cards released by Dingo Cards on the 1st December 2013. Originally scheduled for a release on the 1st November, apparently the late decisions on the Canberra roster delayed the card production and so it was decided to release them along with the Series Two cards the following month.

The cards are numbered 081-088, indicating tht the set was numbered after all of the Series One cards (001-040) and Series Two cards (041-080) for each of the other 5 ABL teams.

Antonio Callaway - 2013-14 Canberra Cavalry

American import Callaway returns to Canberra for his second ABL season in 2013-14. Unlike the other players, Callaway took a very different path during the American summer - he ended up earning himself a card onto the Pro Bodybuilding circuit during 2013. Lest anybody be concerned in the current climate of steroid using baseballers, Callaway was competing in the Natural Pro Bodybuilder circuit, which stresses being drug free, and requires polygraph and drug testing to maintain a clean program.

Callaway is a bit like Allan de San Miguel to me - photogenic players who make for a great shot almost every photo. I took these two photos from the opening series that I both particularly liked, so decided to give Callaway two different card fronts.

Antonio Callaway - 2012-13 Canberra Cavalry (Revised)

This is the revised version of my card for 2012-13 Canberra import Antonio Callaway. The original design didn't feature the lightning background.

Antonio Callaway - 2012-13 Canberra Cavalry

One of the new American imports playing for the Cavalry in the 2012-13 season, Callaway was previously at the Mount Olive College in North Carolina, playing in the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas during 2012. This was followed by a stint at the New Market Rebels, a team in the Valley Baseball League - an NCAA-sanctioned collegiate summer baseball league.

This is the first posting of my planned design for my 2012-13 Canberra Cavalry cards.

[Dec 2012 Update: I ended up doing a revised version of this card.]
