Epic Trade of Epicness
My good buddy Sam over at the Daily Dimwit did me a solid and completely gave me the better end of a trade deal. I knocked off a couple Gypsy Queen relics from his list and tossed in a Bud Norris auto for good measure and he reciprocated with these... You might...
Whoops
I just realized that my RSS feeds were only showing excerpts. Sorry about that. I don't know how that got changed. For anyone reading my blog via RSS feeds, they should now display the entire post correctly (including images if your reader supports that). Sorry for...
Mail Day: Trade with Johnny
I had received a package from Johnny over at Cards from the Quarry last week amid my musings about the the card show and I neglected to post it at the time. Now that I have a minute and I'm not scanning things like a crazy person, I can show you this... That is an...
Tristar Post 6 of 6 – My Personal Collection
So, we've reached the end of my Tristar postings. If you hadn't picked up on the fact that I bought a metric ton of baseball cards by now, this should probably do it. I present, my personal collection. Everything I bought at the show that's not trade bait related....
Tristar Post 5 of 6 – The HITS
Ok, so I've reversed the order a little. I figured it made more sense to post the really nice hits I got last weekend BEFORE I posted the entirety of the personal collection haul, just because it would make more sense to include the hits in the personal collection,...
Tristar Post 4 of 6 – The Rookies
We're getting closer to the hits. Can you feel it? Posts 4 and 5 are all about the personal collection. Well, technically post 6 is as well, but I'm saving the best for last. One thing I found interesting, and still do, is that the concept of a "Rookie Card" has...
Tristar Post 3 of 6 – Trade Bait
So, my main goal at the show, once I realized the sorts of cards I was going to be buying, switched from "buy a couple cool cards" to "completely clean out the $0.25 box". Well, technically there were multiple boxes of varying amounts of money, but the point is that I...
Tristar Post 2 of 6 – the Box
So, if you remember back, one of my goals for the card show was to buy a hobby box of something. I didn't know what I would find there, so I kept my options open. I was hoping for a box of Upper Deck X but never found one. There ended up being plenty of stuff to...
Tristar Post 1 of 6 – the Show
While I'm waiting for the scanner to warm up, I might as well get the ball rolling by talking about the actual show itself. I figure I'll break up the posts and scans into multiples so that you can just read what interests you the most (hits, trade bait, my personal...
