“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Slow Work Day
Was having a slow day at work and wanted to stretch the creative muscles a little.
Really Topps?
I was checking on the status of three un-shipped (and still pending!) auto redemptions from 2012 Bowman Platinum and decided, on a whim, to click over to the main Topps website. They had a banner up for "The Chase" thing they're doing for the main Flagship set and I...
Nope
That title alone should clue you in to my opinion about the new Xbox, but I'll try to be as even-handed in discussing the finer points as I can. It's not necessarily bad, it's just not something I feel like I'm going to be interested in. I've taken a couple extra days...
High End Confuses Me
Spring time is boring, especially for me personally. Yes, baseball is underway but card products are merely trickling out, video game releases are non-existent, summer movies haven't really started yet (not that I'd get to see them anyway), and work (generally) is...
Retail Trade Bait
Been a while since I mentioned anything like this, but above and beyond Sam's GQ break, I did pick up 2 blasters on release day, and then at some point another rack pack or two on various Target trips. I managed to actually get a couple hits and I thought I'd go ahead...
There’s a Story Behind This One
I'm just going to put that beauty right up there on top, so I can talk about it and what it took to get it. 2013 Gypsy Queen Nomar Garciaparra jumbo bat relic, #23/25. The story isn't so much about this card, but the card that was supposed to be. A week or so after GQ...
A little hockey in the summer
I had just received this last week when I was wrapping up my Mail Days posts, and then we moved offices and I hadn't had a chance to scan it before today. Blog reader Corey sent this really nice Rejean Lemelin auto as a thank you for a Marlins box'o'stuff and a quick...
Cards I don’t have
Someone posted a while ago about how, as a group, we're always posting about cards we receive, but rarely post about cards we're trying to find. I also noticed Spankee's post about "if I had $1600". I thought a combination would be interesting. What would I buy if I...
April is nuts
So much going on in April, I haven't even had a change to write recently. I've been working all week, and working extra photo shoot on the weekends. I'm just wiped out. On top of that, we had some remodeling work done in our office and removed a few walls to make the...
Soon…
Soon my friends, soon. Muwahaha.
