All For Naught #2

Our blog was down for who knows how long for who knows why after I posted the first of these. Here’s hoping the same fate doesn’t befall round two.

If you missed the first part, and don’t feel like going back, just know that I’m very grateful for the thoughtfulness and generosity of bloggers and […]

Juuust About Caught Up

There have been a lot of trade posts on here recently. Don’t worry, they’re going to slow down soon. I’m juuust about caught up with my trade posts. Then the no-trading ban will be lifted and all will be right with the world again.

How many of you remember my Topps Community Break from a […]

Topps Community Break Box #7: 2001 Topps Gallery

We’ve already passed the half-way mark. It’s kind of sad, isn’t it? Makes me want to start up another break against my better judgment (and financial abilities).

While National Chicle was far from a resounding success, I can’t think of a single collector that didn’t like Topps Gallery. Like any art form, it has evolved […]

All-Topps Community Break Sign-Up Is Now Open!!

I’ve teased it long enough. It’s finally time.

This is going to be the biggest Break I’ve ever done and it still won’t break the bank for you. How does 11 boxes covering 10 products throughout 8 years sound? The break is going to be all Topps all the time, but not in the way […]

Stay Tuned, Non-Trade Posts Coming Soon

I think I’m getting closer to conducting another group break here on the blog. It’s been a while since we’ve done anything interactive and things are slowing down enough for me where I can handle the spurts of work that goes into such a thing.

In the meantime, I’m back with the results of a […]

Buckle Up. It’s A Long Road

If you’re wondering why I haven’t posted in a week, maybe what you’re about to see will explain it. You’re going to be treated to a very short introduction this time, because I’m writing 3,000 words or so overall on this doozy of a trade. Things like this take time you know.

The cards below […]

See, We’re Still A Normal Blog

Don’t let the whole retail shop thing throw you off too much, we’re still a typical blog at heart. I know we haven’t posted in a few days since the big announcement, but posts will go on as scheduled. The next time you read my words after this will be a returning feature, then I’ll […]

More Trade Post Catch-Up Featuring Rhubarb Runner

My second trade with Rhubarb Runner over at “e’ rayhahn, rayhahn” won’t be as cleverly written as the first, I’m afraid. You see, I’m getting desperately behind. There are a million things I want to be writing, but it’s getting down to crunch time for me. And I’m not just talking about the upcoming Community […]

Posts in Back-to-Back Days? Who Am I, Night Owl?

Wouldn’t you know it, November just rolled around. Luckily the weather in Chicago hasn’t really indicated as such yet. We’re hanging in there and have managed to stave off turning on the heat, although that may not last much longer.

With the new month comes a new hope for consistency. I see that we only […]

Trading with Night Owl

I would try to think of some kind of pun or clever title for the trade, but I’m probably the last blogger in the universe to have traded with Night Owl and all the good ones have already been done before. So…instead, you all get to look at some of my favorites in the bundle […]
