Last SP from Crackin Wax

After reading my post about Gypsy Queen last week, Topher from Crackin' Wax was kind enough to email me and say that he had the last SP I needed in his "Take My Cards" pile. He sent it along with the awesome Buchholz mini. But he didn't stop there, he also sent along...

Artifacts Box

So, Saturday I had a couple packages waiting for me in the mailbox. One was a neat collection of Red Sox stuff from Kyle at JABO that I'll post about tomorrow, and the other was my contest winning box from Beckett. For those of you just tuning in, I was randomly...

Pin for Pedey

Although he only claims he's "cleaning off his desk", I'm beginning to think Derek has the world's largest workspace. I kid, I kid. Another very kind package arrived from my favorite Braves fan and I thought I'd share. I hadn't tracked any of these down yet, and they...

My Weekend Didn’t Suck

I had neglected to mention this on Monday, and Tuesday was a blur, so here it is Wednesday and you guys are getting a "weekend update". Yeah, way to stay on top of things Matt. Sheesh. So, Saturday morning I had a photo shoot with a nice couple for an engagement...

Super Collecting

So, I've been thinking about this as a post topic for quite some time. My interests in cards lean primarily towards "the team" but include a good amount of "oooh, shiny" for good measure. Meaning, simply, I'm interested in mostly cheaper, regular cards but if a nifty...
