“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...2012 Ginter Team Set
Thanks to a quick trade with Sam last week, I've knocked out the Red Sox base cards and SPs from this years Allen & Ginter. I've mentioned before my thoughts on 2011 vs 2012, but I really do like these. I think this is probably one of the strongest Ginter designs...
Completely Unacceptable
So, as you know (from my post a couple weeks ago), I recently cut off my TV service. I've been watching the Olympics coverage with a set of OTA "bunny ears", which brings in the local NBC station. Last night we were busy and I missed Team USA winning both the swimming...
Bowman Platinum
I have a not-so-secret secret. I love Bowman Platinum. In hand they are absolutely awesome. Right up there with Pristine and Finest. They're shiny, and chromed, and just plain neat looking. Yesterday was the actual street-date, but I picked these up on Monday since my...
Where’s the patch bro?
I'm just going to post this right up front... Normally, I would be posting my various goodies from a recent group break but I think this is a far more interesting topic for discussion. Plus, you don't really want to see any more Opening Day and Topps Unique anyway. I...
Size Guide
No, not that kind of size guide, get your minds out of the gutter, geez. lol. This post has actually been a long time coming. It's something that's annoyed me quite a bit in the past and, while I'm sure it's old news to most of you, I thought a handy guide couldn't...
July Break Loot plus a Trade!
Another month, another awesome break from my good buddy Sam over at the DailyDimwit. This time he was busting Goudy, Unique and SPX. Just before he started opening boxes we worked out a trade for something extra special. You might have seen his half of the trade here,...
Cutting the cord
I think I've failed to mention this over the past week or two, but after seeing positive results I felt the need to share. We've completely cut our TV service. We're going 100% streaming, and it's awesome. Our average cable bill was $250. That's insane. We were using...
PSA: Steam Summer Sale
A quick heads up to any of you that play video games, or at least, and more accurately, computer games. Steam just launched their annual "Summer Sale" today. This is an awesome annual/seasonal event (Summer Sale and Winter Sale) where Valve and the other publishers on...
Damnit Ginter
Ginter, ginter, ginter. There, you happy now? I said it. It's like you can't not say it this time of year. In 2010, I decided to start collecting baseball cards again. The very first thing I bought was 2010 Allen & Ginter. I blame Sam. Well, not completely. I...
Box’o’Stuff
So, remember the other day when I said seeing little yellow envelopes in my mailbox made my day? Yeah, this does too! A couple weeks ago Derek over at Tomahawk Chopping announced he was giving away some free cards. I made a comment, made a trade or two, and forgot all...
