“My hypocrisy only goes so far”

I wanted to put together an entire post about this, mostly because I think it's going to be one of the very very few sets where I go after the entire thing, and not just Red Sox. Well, that was the plan until some unexpected things wiped out my card money stash. So,...

The breaks just kept on coming this month. Kyle at Juuust a Bit Outside (JABO) but together not one, not two, but three breaks this month and shipped the loot to me all at once. He busted a couple boxes of 2012 Gypsy Queens plus a metric ton of Topps Chrome from the...

A couple days ago I got the cards from this months group break from Sam over at The Daily Dimwit. He was busting boxes of Topps Gallery, Fleer, UD Vintage, Topps HD and Bazooka. Pretty much for the Gallery and HD alone I had to be in on this break. It did not...

Another week, another small handful of purchases I probably shouldn't be making. I look at it like this: If I've given myself a monthly budget of "less than a video game" and in 3 months time I've only spent $50 (according to my "recent purchases" on ebay), then by...

That would be the fancy way of saying that I've bought more cards this week than cups of morning coffee. Office (aka: terrible) coffee will have to suffice. I know, I know, it's a terrible sacrifice to make, but these are lean times we're in, and cards aren't just...

Kyle from Just a Bit Outside really hit the ground running in 2012 with back-to-back-to-back group breaks and more on the way. I managed to scrape together enough to get in on breaks #4, #5 and the upcoming Gypsy Queen break (for #6). Break #5 was a really wide...

Another week, another smattering of little yellow bubble mailers... well... except for that jerk that charged me $3 shipping and sent me a card in a PWE with a single stamp on it. Seriously, eBay people, nothing will get you a crappy rating faster than sending things...

I like saying the word "dimwit", even though my friend Sam is anything but. Dimwit. Hehehe. See, it's just a fun word. What's even more fun than his pseudonym are his group breaks and card drafts. I was fortunate enough to jump into the later and scored a couple nifty...

Derek over at Tomahawk Chopping has been exceedingly generous with his recent Opening Day and Heritage purchases, spreading his extra non-Braves love around the blogosphere. I can't thank him enough for sending me all his Red Sox as of late. I truly appreciate it! I...
