“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Fall Card Pickups
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...
Streetlight Manifesto
I know I've probably mentioned it a few times, but I'm quite the fan of the band Streetlight Manifesto. Last night they were playing here in town, on the last leg of their last tour, ever. It was legendary. The show was at a local place called Fitzgerald's, which is...
World Series Champs
Last night the Red Sox put the finishing touches on their 3rd World Series win in ten years. To say I'm not thrilled beyond believe would be disingenuous. I celebrated, I cheered, I clapped, I almost woke up the kiddo. Objectively, the expectations for this team were...
World Series
With Game 1 of the World Series starting in mere hours, I had a few things I wanted to get off my chest. For starters, the reaction of most in the baseball community thus far has been that this series isn't unique, or interesting. Most people couldn't have picked two...
October Randomness
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...
Shiny Things
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...
Between me and the cardboard
When I started collecting cards again a couple years ago, I deeply regretted not having the cards from my childhood. I think that's a fairly common occurrence amongst collectors. It's the traditional "cards your Mom threw out" scenario. My father, when I was born,...
I didn’t even notice
That just goes to show you where my mind is at the moment. I didn't even notice that my two Tier 1 Silver Ink autos are actually different photos. My Brock Holt 7/10 and 10/10 show him fielding and batting (respectively). Go figure. lol. I kind of like that there are...
Just a couple
That's a lie. There's way more than a couple. We're trying to teach our daughter the differences between "a few", "a couple" and "both", which admittedly, are hard concepts for a 2 year old to grasp, but it's just funny to see her count out 7 Skittles and then ask if...
New Lists
Time to catch up on some want lists. These are mostly for me and my organizational skills (or lack thereof), but if you happen to have any of these, I'd love to talk to you about a trade. 2013 Bowman Platinum I'm on the fence about finishing this up this year. I...
