My life and times in sports and baseball cards
I am running behind getting this week’s Challenge posted but I think most of you know how our real jobs get in the way sometimes. For this week I wanted to get some Upper Deck Spectrum or maybe some Press Pass Football. I happened to be in Walmart picking up a few things so I [...]
I was in the post office the other day mailing off some cards I had sold on Sportlots and the clerk asked me about the NBA Playoffs. I explained that I don’t really follow the NBA that closely anymore. I haven’t seen a complete game all year and probably won’t unless I happen to be [...]
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 digging around in the rookie stats this weekend checking on the young talent that is playing right now. Some of the hitters that caught my eye were Geovany Soto, J.R. Towles and Joey Votto. It is still early in the season so things can change rapidly. I pulled a Votto this weekend so [...]
We are nearing the one year mark for the $10 Weekly Wax Pack Challenge so I have been contemplating possible changes to the format. The pulls and selection have definitely been stymied by the fact that I don’t have a local card shop to pick up hobby packs from. I would still like to have [...]
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 [...]
Coming back in the wee hours of the morning from Mexico we talked a little football somewhere on the trip down Interstate 20. I was anxious to get back to catch up on Baseball but it also had me in the mood to open some football cards. I have still have yet to pull a [...]
I am now back in the USA after a short business trip/vacation to Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. My wife and I along with my fellow employees had a great time. We arrived in three waves on Monday and because of all the American Airlines flight cancellations we left in four waves Thursday. One group went from [...]
This is the second time in forty weeks that I have not purchased any wax for the Challenge or just because I wanted some either. I just never made it to Target and the one time I was at WalMart they didn’t have any wax to choose from except for Upper Deck First Edition. Plus [...]
It is late here in Texas on this Wednesday night and I am overcome with a pack craving right now. I have been watching the Rangers and Mariners on TV and it was a really good game until just now in the bottom of the fifth. With runners on first and second with two outs [...]
