Harvey Update

by Matt | Sep 18, 2017 | Personal | 1 Comment

So, we're sort of in limbo at the moment. We've gotten to the point where most of the house is cleared out (material wise) and everything has been drying for two weeks now. They say you need to let studs and concrete dry for 2-3 weeks before spraying the...

Hurricane Harvey

I don’t even know where to begin. I can already tell that this post is going to be all over the place. I’ve been writing it in my head for a week and a half now.

Man. What a crazy two weeks. The short version is that we’re ok, everyone is safe, the house is a bit beat up, but the important things (the people) are safe.

CARDS Nacho Grande Group Break Bring me all the Bennys! Matt "Doc" Perry, Creative Idiot, Texas June 27th, 2017 It's taken me far too long to scan these. The break Chris (Nachos Grande) did to start off the summer was back at the beginning of June. That tells you what...

Bowman Mega Boxes

by Matt | Jul 28, 2017 | Cards | 0 Comments

In May Bowman Mega Boxes were apparently all the rage. I noticed a post on Reddit the other day about how someone “got in” on the Mega Box craze before the price sky-rocketed. I was confused. I had bought two of them with zero fuss. I could have made serious bank. What did I do? I opened them of course, and here are the results…

Today us July 12th, the day the internet has decided to join forces and fight, once again, for our basic rights as net citizens. People far smarter than I have espoused long and detailed arguments on why this is important, and I don't believe my commentary could add...

The Price Was Wright

I really enjoy watching knuckleball pitchers in general. So when Steven Wright joined the Red Sox a couple years ago I was excited. I knew he was one of only a few pitchers actively throwing a knuckleball. Actually, I think at the moment it's just two, Wright and R.A....

Rediscovery

by Matt | May 22, 2017 | Cards | 1 Comment

I don't pretend to know how everyone else stores cards, I'm sure everyone has their own system. For me, since my primary goal is year-to-year team sets, I use binders and pages, and that seems to work out fine. It also means that binders get the majority of my...

Various Customs

by Matt | Apr 21, 2017 | Cards | 4 Comments

I've been having fun lately with my customs. It started as a way to create cards for sets that should have existed. Missing players, deeper rosters, that sort of thing. Not every set can have 700 cards, but my imaginary additions can fill in the gaps. Then it sort of...
