“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Back Story
I'm assuming by now that my old readers, my college and high-school friends, have all but given up on me and that my new readers, my baseball card bloggers, have no idea this isn't a 100% card blog. It wasn't always this way. Before 2011 there wasn't a single mention...
New Collection
I took some time today to think about whether I'm a player collector or a team collector. Technically, all my player cards are members of the same team, or have been, or would eventually be. Does having an Adrian Gonzalez rookie make me a Gonzo collector, or a Red Sox...
Topps 2012ages
I think I successfully destroyed the English language with that title. I hadn't really mentioned it until the other day when I posted that Clemente patch, but I did in fact buy some 2012 Topps Series 1. I don't really have anything worth mentioning that hasn't been...
Catching Up
I took a little break from all things computer related over the weekend and now I'm finally catching up. I've got some outgoing mail, some incoming mail, a trade, some ebay stuff, and some old junk I found in the attic. First up, a couple weeks ago I bought a box set...
Outgoing Mail
Just a heads up, the following packages are all ready to go and will be dropped off at the post office first thing in the morning: 77449 11229 Hope you guys enjoy!
Interesting Questions
I just noticed that RedSox.com has up a survey to pick the "All Fenway Team". This year is the 100th Anniversary of Fenway Park. That means two things. First, that it's the oldest, continually used ballpark in America. Second, that it's now an official US Landmark and...
Custom Cards
Unless you read my "About" page, you may not know this, but I'm a photographer and designer by trade. Baseball cards actually combine those two fields with my love for everything baseball. So, for me, baseball cards aren't just pieces of cardboard, their little works...
Trade Day with Spankee
You know, I was having a bad week, and then you guys had to go head and and be awesome and completely turn that around. Thank you, very deeply and sincerely. You are ALL awesome. All of you. Today however, this particular brand awesome comes courtesy of Spankee over...
I’ve been Tomahawked
A couple of days ago, Derek from Tomahawk Chopping posted about needing one last card to complete his 2012 Series 1 set. I just happened to have that very card sitting on my desk so I sent him a message. I told him I'd send the card (and a couple of the 87 minis) to...
Group Break Loot
I received my cards from Sam's latest group break last night. I walked away with a hit, a complete team set, and 1 card short of another team set. That's really the goal (or at least my goal) when I participate in group breaks. I'm looking for sets of products I might...
