“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Trade With Ryan
Yesterday I had a huge package waiting for me in the mail box. It was from Ryan over at " 'O' No, Another Orioles Blog". I had sent him a package of a couple Lineage and Topps Chrome refractors he needed along with a couple things from his needs/wants lists. In return...
Muppets
The wife and I had our first date night in about 9 months. My brother volunteered to watch the kiddo and we took some time for ourselves to kick back and relax a little. We decided to get some food, some coffee and see The Muppets. After the movie let out and we...
What are they thinking?
Pardon me while I get completely belligerent for a minute, but the Red Sox just signed 32 year old Kelly Shoppach as catcher and I can't wrap my head around what on earth Ben Cherington is thinking, let alone smoking. Whatever it is, I'd like the number of his dealer....
Trade Day
I got my first trade package in the mail over the weekend from my new friend Johnny over at Cards From the Quarry. Johnny is a Rockies fan and I sent him a couple jersey relics, parallels and just about anything Rockies related I had. In return he was kind enough to...
Topps Diamond Giveaway
So, before this years Diamond Giveaway ends on New Years, I thought I'd take a look back through what cards I had received and see if any of them are worth the shipping cost. The answer, not many. There are quite a few 80's cards that are simply junk wax. Out of the...
Epic Trade Bait Catalog
I took a couple minutes and fired up the scanner and did, at least what I'm considering to be, an awesome thing. I scanned every single one of my hits, parallels and inserts that are up for trade. All of them. Then, because I'm a visual sort of guy, instead of making...
Upcoming Trade Bait
So, when Sam posted his massive pile of trade bait the other day, it got me thinking. I had made a promise to myself (and the wife) that for both budget and space reasons, I was only going to be collecting Red Sox cards. That sounds like a great idea in theory, but if...
New Hits
So, since I've finished off most of my sets for 2011, and all I have left are things that I've already bought into group breaks for (in hopes of finishing), the only things left to buy until next year are "hits" off of eBay. I'm not a huge eBay fan, or at least I...
Bye Bye Paps
http://boston.redsox.mlb.com Really? Sonofabitch. Not that I thought he was the best thing since sliced bread, but come on. Bard is good, really good, and he can fill the slot, I just hope he's ready. Please Red Sox, at least spend the cash you're apparently not...
Misprint
I'm not really sure if it's a "we're terrible at quality control" problem, or if it's a "this is a rare, one of a kind screw-up" sort of thing, but I've got a messed up Chrome Refractor I wanted to share and maybe get a second opinion on. I got this card, a 2011 Topps...
