“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...June Break Loot
Got my break loot from The Dimwit's June break yesterday. I actually, and I still can't believe this, traded away my second team in the break which ended up netting Matt Pederson a 1/1 bat knob. My thought was that I could take San Diego and get some pre-Red Sox...
E3 2012
Every year I take a look at the massive video gaming conference that is E3 and offer my completely unbiased and level-headed preview for the gaming year to come. Ok, that's a lie. I watch the conference and bitch about how they're consistently ruining a medium that I...
Baywatching
So, my month long and self-imposed limit on card buying is now over and I feel good about it. I put the money towards more important things like time with the family and I've got a couple freelance things in the works for hopefully some more card money in the near...
Burgers, Brentz and Buddies
So, Memorial Day weekend was fun. We had some time to relax, play in the pool, and visit with friends, including the Dimwit who came into town for a party. He hand delivered the Brentz auto I had mentioned before and also gave me some new Topps Archives he had pulled...
Bowman Blaster
Ok, so I didn't make it 30 days without buying cards. I made it 26, I think that's pretty good, lol. Actually, I was planning on buying a blaster of 2012 Bowman anyway. My theory being that you really can't tell if you'll like a product based on a single pack, and a...
Family Road Trip – Part 2
I promised a post about modern art and by holy Helvetica, you're going to get one whether you want it or not. lol. After wrapping up a fun day of shooting on Saturday, Sunday we decided to play it a little more chill. We took our friends and the kiddos to the Dallas...
Double Trade!
I was fortunate enough this week to meet not one but two awesome new trading partners. Tom from The Angels, In Order and Spiegel from Nomo's Sushi Paltter. They both sent completely awesome trade packages and I'm in awe, as always, with the generosity of you guys!...
Family Road Trip – Part 1
This weekend we decided to pack up the car and take a drive to see some close friends who had recently moved. They're some of our best friends and we had all missed each other, so it was great to catch up and hang out all weekend. They have a little boy just a bit...
Prize cards from JABO
A little while back Kyle had a "guess the homeruns" contest over at Juuust a Bit Outside. The winner got a smattering of cards from his preferred team. I was the lucky prognosticator with a guess of 6 homeruns on Opening Day and he sent over a great package of cards....
Trade and Break with the Dimwit
Last week Sam over at the Daily Dimwit had his monthly group break and between now and then we had also arranged a quick trade. Sam's a closet Rodger Maris fan and a Maris relic was one of the hits I pulled from my only two blasters of Gypsy Queen this year. He...
