We have reached the thirteenth week of the $10 Weekly Wax Pack Challenge. In these thirteen weeks I have spent $130 on wax packs pulling some pretty decent cards along the way. However, I have only added six cards to my personal collection, sold seven cards for $31.60 and still have 206 cards in my [...]
This was a fun box to open even though I am a little disappointed in the auto and relic card pulls. Maybe I am being a little hard on the autos but the two relics were pitchers and one of them missed this season entirely. This hobby box contained sixteen packs with 4 cards per [...]
This will be just a quick note as it is late as I am writing this. I was just going to open one pack and go to bed but I just couldn’t stop. Just like a drug addict with a new bag of pills I just kept going till they were all opened. I will [...]

How about a quick box break of a 2007 Upper Deck Footall six pack blaster box from Target? I was in the mood to open some wax and I haven’t busted any Upper Deck Football yet so here we go.
I could pretty much just copy and paste my 2007 Upper Deck Baseball Series One blaster [...]
I have been waiting on the McFarlane NFL Legends Series 3 figures to show up at my local Toys R Us. On my latest trip I finally could secure one of the two figures I wanted to add to my collection. The Tyler Rose, Earl Campbell now sits on the top shelf next to my [...]
The eleventh week of the $10 Weekly Wax Pack Challenge was kind of quiet. I managed to make it to the shop before they closed this week. However, they were pretty close to being sold out of wax. He had some Upper Deck Goudey and Topps Baseball and Football still in stock. I picked out [...]
Every once in a while I will browse the sports card forums just to see what collectors are talking about. On this night I started with the forums at Tuff Stuff where I found some collectors talking about collation problems with Upper Deck Goudey and the upcoming release of Sport Kings. I have only bought [...]
This week we have reached the tenth week of the $10 Weekly Wax Pack Challenge. I headed for the card shop Saturday afternoon to pick up some packs but the shop was closed. They changed the hours to only 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Saturdays. I can’t get there during the week so, Saturday [...]
