Sporadic Posts, But Still Making Progress

Alright, I’m now into June for my scans. We’re getting somewhere! I might be able to make it into July before the end of the month if I’m lucky. We’ll see. Fingers are crossed.

Next on the list is this trade with Sam of “The Daily Dimwit” fame. Here we begin a trio of trades […]

Who Hates Free Cards?

If you said “I do” to that question, then you must be a funny guy. Well, let me tell you something, Mr. Funny Guy, while you’re off in the world trying to be all funny and guy like, there are real people right here in the heart of the U. S. of A. that aren’t […]

Going Out of Order. Sort of.

My normal M.O. is to post the trades and group break hauls in the order in which they were received. As I’ve mentioned time and time again, I’m ridiculously far behind in this type of thing.

Still, I wanted to break that system up to acknowledge and appreciate this card.

2011 A&G ABP – Trade Me These Cards

I never really paid much attention to the Allen & Ginter checklist for this year. I knew what mini sets were coming down the line, and I saw a couple things about the non-sport inclusions in the set, but that’s about it.

Card-ography

Autographs.

There used to be a time when opening a pack of cards and finding an autograph inside was something you only heard about on the playground. It never really happened, even if Tomothy’s brother’s best-friend’s cousin’s neighbor swears he saw it with his own eyes.

When I left the hobby, autographs were starting to […]

Overdue Trade Post – Behind These Hazel Eyes Edition

I think this is the last of the completed trades that resulted from what can only be considered an EPIC 2005 Leaf Baseball box break. 11 comments (I think a blog record, aside from the Dawson watch contest) and something like 5 trades came out of that thing. Pretty cool stuff, if you ask me. […]
