“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Sox from Derek
Derek over at Tomahawk Chopping is doing some spring summer cleaning and reducing down his collection. He knows I'm also up for some Red Sox randomness and he sent a little care package my way. He doesn't realize it yet, but I sent him a little something in return....
Good Luck, Bad Luck
So, as I mentioned before, I split a box of Chrome with Sam. It sucked. We got the absolute bare minimum for the box: Two rookie autographs. We got 1 black border (/100) and 1 blue border (/199). That's it. No diecut (1:24 - 24 packs per box, we didn't make the odds),...
Mostly Crazy
It's been quite crazy around here the last couple weeks. For starters it's been ridiculously hot, 95+ each day and the humidity wasn't helping any. We had been getting some stuff cleaned up around the house and I took some time to organize my collection a little...
Double Break
The results of the three group breaks I was in this month both arrived last week. Kyle over at Juuust a Bit Outside and Sam from The Daily Dimwit each had awesome breaks in August, and since they both had similar products, I'd combine them both into a single post....
Across the Pond
Last week I sent off my half of my first ever international trade. John in the UK over at Pursuit of Red Sox/Jacoby and I swapped Sox. He filled in a big chunk of my missing pre-2009 stuff, and I sent and equal "set filling" box his way. The real highlights for me...
Blogging
There was a lot of talk last week about being burnt out on blogging. Personally, the hobby, sport, activity, whatever you'd like to call it, has been a constant companion since 2000. That's not to say that there haven't been breaks here and there. If you wonder...
Outgoing
Just an fyi, I just dropped off a big pile of stuff at the post office. 36695 23320 66440 CT88BH You all have stuff on the way 😉
New Music Monday
If you know me in real life you probably have a good idea what my personal musical tastes trend towards. For those of you that don't, despite all outward appearances of being a "computer geek", I'm actually into quite a wide range of music. 50% Punk, Ska, and Rock in...
We’re Going to Need a Bigger Boat
We're catching sharks baby! Not quite "white whales" of card collecting, but we're getting pretty close. It was a very good month to be fishing the waters of the Bay of E. I pulled in some whoppers. Ok, enough with the fishing metaphors and Jaws references. Time for...
Trade Bait Update
I'm still working on scanning things purchased over the last month or two, but work has been crazy busy lately and I just can't find the time. I did manage to scan the contents of a package from Greg over at Plaschke Thy Sweater is Argyle, from a Trade Bait Draft he...
