October

The fall has always been a traditionally busy time for me. Weddings and photo shoots ramp back up now that the weather is turning cooler here in Texas. My day job switches into Q4/End of Year hurry-up mode, when all the business development folks lose their minds and...

Gypsy Queen Relics Complete!

You're going to have to excuse me while I do a little happy dance over here. The mailman just dropped off the final piece to my GQ relic puzzle. Right off the bat, I had planned on going for all the Sox relics from 2012 Gypsy Queen, I just didn't know how rare some of...

Final JABO Break

Saying that title out loud makes me a little sad. Kyle had some truly great breaks, and was a genuine stand up guy. He may be taking a break from the hobby, but he made sure his last break was a doosy. We also swapped randomness in the end. I sent him some Royals...

Trade with Dawgbones

A couple weeks back I worked out my first trade with Richard, aka Dawgbones. I got randomized a Phillies prospect in one of Kyle's group breaks and per-emptively traded it to Richard for a relic to be named later. He had a nice Manny ginter relic that caught my eye...
