“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Last of December
I teased a couple weeks ago that the haul I was showing off was only part of my epic December. All the cards are finally in, and I can show off the second half. All together, December was a hell of month. First up, one of my most beloved sets, Upper Deck Masterpieces....
Power of the PWE
A couple weeks ago, Wes, aka JayBarkerFan decided to show the card community the power of a single stamp and a PWE. I was lucky enough to be on the receiving end of some of that random act of kindness. Wes crammed 7 awesome cards into a single PWE and sent it my way....
Sam’s December Break
While I was away for the holidays, a hefty package arrived from Sam's December Group Break over at The Daily Dimwit. I made out like a bandit, or should I say, a Gypsy. You'll see... First up, the "other" part of the break. Sam busted a box of 2008 UD Masterpieces and...
Ryan’s December Break
Way back in December, Ryan over at "O No! Another Orioles Blog" had a group break and I had completely neglected to post the loot from it before now. I blame the holidays. First up 2002 Upper Deck MVP. A nice little set that had completely escaped me so far. Nomar,...
Retail Therapy
I have zero will power when I'm sick. I normally have to have electronic devices capable of accessing ebay or amazon removed from my field of vision while I'm under the weather. This time the culprit was retail. I honestly walked in looking for Robitusin and/or...
Return to the Living
I'm alive, and vertical, which is nice for a change! It was a heck of a holiday season, that's for sure. We started with a visit to my family home in New England over Christmas. We managed to find long but direct plane routes from Houston to Boston. I knew that flying...
Still alive
I've just come down with this years flu. What an awesome trend. Two years running. Good times, good times...
January Break?
So, crazy idea. I'm seriously considering hosting a group break in January. I wanted to mention it because I need input and suggestions. First, what do YOU want to break? Obviously, availability and price come into play at some point, but in a perfect world what would...
Early December Pickups
I had a bunch of late November/early December purchases and the first ones started to arrive in the ol'mailbox. I figured I'd post them now since the end of December will probably have it's fair share of stuff, plus I'm hoping to bust at least a box of something for...
That Time of Year
Well, it's December. I have a real love-hate relationship with December. I love cold weather, I'm still a New Englander at heart and there's just something about the chill, seeing your breath outside, the wind, the quiet, the gray skies. It's peaceful. Winter also...
