“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Destiny – The Vanilla Ice Cream of Gaming
I was talking to several friends who occasionally and casually game and they all asked me my thoughts on Destiny, the latest shooter/mashup from Bungie. They had seen the marketing blitz and were wondering if the game was worth playing. The best analogy I could come...
Big Trade with Greg
I was going to put "Giant" trade, but I figured the Dodgers fans wouldn't appreciate that. Bad title puns aside, Greg and I have traded a couple times in the past but had both slowly been building piles of cards for each other for what seems like forever. I had such a...
Feedback?
I was working on a custom and I'm not 100% on the look and feel of it, so, I thought I'd ask you guys. Clearly, it's based on Bowman Platinum's insert "Top Prospects". Apparently, even after having one of the top farm systems in all of baseball, Bowman/Topps felt...
Fire Sale
Today is the MLB trade deadline and holy crap, it's been insane. It's 1pm (central time), so there's still a little time left, but there's already been major moves, most of them centering around the Red Sox. Red Sox sent Lester and Gomes to the A's for Yoenis Cespedes...
PWE from Dennis
Way back, probably over a month at this point, Dennis from Too Many Verlanders/Manninghams sent me an incredibly considerate PWE and I have been a complete scumbag in never mentioning it. Life has a funny way of getting away from you like that. I owe him a...
Someone Else’s Collection
I have a good friend who loves to visit auctions, estate sales, and the like. I've told him in the past to keep any eye out for any cards. He's picked me up the occasional pile of '87 Topps, but a couple weeks ago he stumbled across someone else's collection. There...
Random Pickups – Early Summer
Saying "Early Summer" just seems easier than "stuff from the last three months that I've neglected to mention before now and that never really fit with anything else". Yeah, "Early Summer" it is. These are all from April, May and June, and mostly from ebay. Any of the...
Hitting Brockets
On my desktop there is a folder. A folder called "Blog Cards", into which I dump all my scans. There are currently 74 items in said folder, all waiting to be talked about. Some are common, some are random, some are just too awesome to stay unmentioned any longer....
Apathy
It's been nearly a month since my last post and things haven't gotten any better. In most ways, they've gotten worse. My job woes continue and there's likely no resolution until at least July. Three different companies with three different people claiming to be my new...
Completely Swamped
If you're wondering why posting has been all over the place, it's just due to a busy schedule. I've got so much on my plate at the moment that I think I need a second small salad plate just for the extras. Maybe a desert plate as well. And a couple dinner rolls. And a...
