PWE from the Hot Corner

by | Dec 10, 2013 | Cards, Red Sox

A little while back Pat from Hot Corner Cards mentioned that he was sending out some PWEs and I was the lucky recipient of one.

For starters, he killed it with two very nice Brock Holt parallels for my player collection. I desperately needed the Target Red Border and the gold Bowman is my second which means I can have one in the team set and one in the player collection, as it should be.

Then to top it off, Pat throws in a Nomar mini and a “Post Season Heroes” David Ortiz. The best part of the whole thing, and in reference to the Ortiz card, was Pat’s note…

I laughed out loud at that one and everyone at my office thought I was a crazy person.

Awesome PWE Pat, thank you for the awesome cards!!!

Quick Thanks

by | Dec 5, 2013 | Cards

Just wanted to say a quick “Thank You” to both Fantastic Catch (Weston) and Hot Corner Cards (Pat). I got packages from both of you and they were both awesome. They’re sitting on my desk in front of the scanner, waiting for just a free moment for posting, but I wanted to say thanks before I got too wrapped up this week. I’ve got all sorts of pans in the fire during the month of December. Lots of freelance work and whatnot. So, again, thank you to both of you, and I’ll be posting about them shortly! 🙂

Fall Card Pickups

by | Nov 15, 2013 | Cards, Red Sox

I saved up pretty much all of October’s cards for this one massive post. I was sort of preoccupied with this whole World Series thing and wasn’t even really paying attention to bids I had out there. I think I landed a couple nice cards, especially for not really actively going after anything.

October Randomness

by | Oct 18, 2013 | Cards, Red Sox

I just wrote an entire 500 word rant about how much Update sucks, but it’s kind of beating a dead horse, so I deleted it. The level of gimmicky crap has reached such levels that I’m just choosing to ignore it now. I’ll continue on collecting the things I actually find interesting, of which, I have several new things to show off.

Shiny Things

by | Oct 9, 2013 | Cards

Over the weekend I had a couple errands to run and ended up at Target. Normally my local Target is fairly pathetic with it’s card section, but I lucked out and it had been restocked with the last few weeks worth of releases. Topps Chrome, Bowman Chrome and Panini Prizm.
