My life and times in sports and baseball cards
Its late and I am tired but I can’t wait any longer to open the two 2009 Topps Baseball packs I picked up a few days ago. I was really hoping to open a blaster of Topps before I bought any packs but I have yet to see a Topps Blaster. So, here we go.
The [...]
Okay, where in the H E double Hockey Sticks are the 2009 Topps Blasters? I keep reading about people getting their hands on them since last Friday. Has anybody in Texas seen any yet? Did they all go to the East Coast first? Some people might toss around the term East Coast Bias at this [...]
The Propane Tuna makes a big splash as he enters the pool at Topps Town. With his freshly minted Avatar he begins to check out the deep end of the pool. First off I check with the Coach and the list of frequently asked questions. The Coach tells me if I want to get a [...]
Coming June 1, 2008 Topps will go live with a new website that combines cardboard with virtual cards in an online world. In 2008 Topps Baseball Series 2 seeded one in every two packs you can find one of these cards with a special code that will unlock said virtual cards at the Topps Town [...]
I was meandering around the card section at my local Target the other day and saw a familiar sign in front of some of the Blasters. A few months ago the 2007 Topps Football blaster boxes were put on sale at Target for several weeks. Now the 2008 Topps Baseball Blasters are on sale at [...]
I finally sat down and filled out my ballot for the Topps Golden Anniversary All-Time All Rookie Team. I was a bit torn about how to cast my ballot or what criteria I should use to make my selections. It would be easy to just go through and pick my favorite player but that wouldn’t [...]
Today I had to run a couple of errands at lunch which just so happened to include a stop at Target. The first place I went was the card aisle and much to my delight was a fresh box of 2008 Topps Heritage. With the cash I had in my pocket I could get three [...]
The new issue for Topps has been out for a few days now. We don’t have a card shop in my town so I have been waiting for the retail packs to show up. On my way home from work today I needed to get a loaf of bread so I went out of my [...]
This week has really sucked at work and it is hampering the time I spend with my beloved pieces of cardboard. I am soooo ready for baseball season. Not to mention I am ready for some new Baseball Cards. Mostly I want the 2008 Topps All-Rookie Team 50th Anniversary cards.
I read Cardboard Junkies pack [...]
I purchased three hobby packs of 2007 Topps Football yesterday at the newly opened Redzone Sports in Whitehouse, TX. I was looking to buy a bunch of packs but its not payday so I just grabbed the three Topps packs and headed home. I started to get a couple of Allen & Ginters but I [...]
This is driving me nuts. First blow was the announcement that Topps would be sold in the first place. That raises concerns about the future of my favorite brand of cards. Then Upper Deck files suit against Topps and the war of words really gets ugly. Today I read that Upper Deck is petitioning for [...]
