“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...January Pickups
Last weekend there was a major card show here in Houston. I went and scoured the dime-boxes for hidden treasure. I picked up quite a few but I decided that I wanted to post the "other" pickups I made this month before I flood everyone with posts from the card show....
Trade with Adam
Back at the beginning of the month, I completed a trade with Adam from ARPSmith's Sportscard Obsession. He's been posting his "Embarrassingly Late" trade posts and I realized I had never posted mine. Shame on me. He sent me some great stuff and I wanted to make sure I...
Christmas Cards: Part 4 – Olympics
I said it a couple years ago when the last set came out, but it bares repeating: I love the Olympics. The Winter Olympics, especially the hockey and the skiing are by far and away my favorites. So, it was pretty much a no-brainer that I was going to be picking up some...
Christmas Cards: Part 3 – Trade with Douglas
I'm including an awesome trade with Douglas from "Sportscards from the DollarStore" since they were received the week of Christmas and they were quite a gift. I had sent a Kawasaki blue prizm and a Pillar auto his way and he hooked me up with a great selection of Sox...
Christmas Cards – Part 2
One of my more significant presents for BirthdaMus was a hobby box of 2013 Gypsy Queen. I had finished the Red Sox set, minus a couple minis, and I had bought a complete set (minus the SPs) from Sam when he was busting boxes. So, those were the two big things I was...
Christmas Cards: Part 1
I decided right before the holidays that my PTO hours at work were sufficiently stuffed and that I could simply "take two weeks off" without even making a dent in it. Our PTO rolls over from year to year and I haven't taken a significant vacation in quite a while. So,...
I have no idea why
Honestly, I have no idea why I do these things. I was at Walmart the other day for random stuff and of course I stopped in the card isle. There was nothing worth buying. That didn't stop me however. $40 later I'm kicking myself for buying useless junk. I bought one of...
PWE from the Hot Corner
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...
Package from Fantastic Catch
A little while back I had sent Weston from Fantastic Catch a quick package with a couple Cardinals in it and he responded in kind with an awesome collection of Sox cards! I like that there's a set with mascots in them. I actually like Opening Day because it doesn't...
Quick Thanks
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...
