“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Final Post Before Tristar
By the time this posts I'll be on my way to the Tristar Sports Collectors show in Houston. I plan on feasting on massive amounts of penny boxes and cheap, worthless hits. I will gorge myself on cardboard, foil and sticker autos. I will, to borrow a phrase, "make it...
2012 Products
With 2012 Baseball cards about it kick off with Topps Series 1 here in a week or two, I thought it might be interesting to take a look at some of the products coming down the pipe in 2012. Taking a look at the lineup, I'm actually only excited about a couple products....
Mail Day – Trade with Plaschke
Well, technically Plaschke Thy Sweater is Argyle. Plaschke, the person, is Bill Plaschke, a sports writer for the LA Times. Argyle Sweater is a blog run by Greg, who is an awesome guy, and as far as I know, not Bill. That works out well for me since Bill Plaschke...
Goals for Tristar
Sam posted his "Goals for the Tristar Show" yesterday and I thought I'd do the same. They're not quite as lofty as his (collect the signatures of an entire baseball team), but I think this show is a perfect opportunity to make great headway in a hobby I've really come...
Cards from The Dimwit’s Break
I was happy to find a little present in my mailbox when I got home last night. It was my cards from Sam's Group Break last week. He busted a box of 2009 SP Authentic, 2009 UD Piece of History and a box of 2007 UD Artifacts. I, obviously, chose the Sox as my team and...
A little X-centric
So, if you've been paying attention, you'd know that I've gone a little coo-coo for cocoa puff over 2008 Upper Deck X. I honestly have no idea why. I just like them. A lot. I like the card design, I like that the set isn't 7000+ cards (just 100 base!), I like that I...
Quick Site Update
I did a little rearranging this morning and decided that the home/intro page wasn't really serving any purpose in it's current form. Having a list of "featured" posts that was out of date and a completely separate "blog" area seemed redundant. So, for as long as I'm...
2011 Wrap Up
So, I actually haven't posted a person update since before my birthday, which was nice by the way, thanks for asking. We took everyone out to my favorite Chinese place and treated ourselves. My grill was my big present and my wife got me all sorts of grill accessories...
Christmas Cards
...and not the boring kind. I realized I hadn't made a post in a couple days and for that I apologize. I had family in town and we were busying doing holiday things. I was going to do a big giant one about everything, but I'll split it into two, that way the baseball...
Papas got a brand new grill
My father-in-law just did something incredibly nice. He bought me a grill for helping him out this year. A GRILL. My old grill was tiny, 10 years old and broken in so many ways. I was actually kind of surprised it made it that long. I used it pretty much once a week...
