My life and times in sports and baseball cards
I had an itch the other day that I was hoping to get some A&G to scratch it with but once again I was shut out at the big box store. Not much else was catching my interest so I snagged a five pack blaster box of 2008 Donruss Threads Football for some pack ripping [...]
Yesterday, I had some time to kill on my lunch break so I made my way over to Toys R Us. If I were lucky maybe I could find a nice piece in the mark down section. I’ll pay regular price for one that I really want but mostly I buy the mark downs nowadays. [...]
I haven’t picked up a single pack of 2008 A&G so I figured it was time I did so. But Wally World had a different idea, they didn’t have single pack or blaster in the store. So whats a guy gonna do? I’ll go to the other end of the collecting spectrum and get some [...]
Back in August a reader named Sam used the Contact Form on the blog to let me know that he had a 2008 Topps All Star Rookie 50th Anniversary Scott Rolen card he would trade me. I know, I am super slow when it comes to trades. As we exchanged emails he let me know [...]

If you have been [...]
I first ran across Checkoutmycards.com back in October of 2007 and I made some initial inquiries to Tim Getsch the founder. Tim got back to me promptly with more information on the site and some of his plans as they moved forward with the site. I bookmarked the site and checked in with them on [...]
I hadn’t bought any new product in a while but I was standing in line at Walmart and I noticed something a little different on the shelf. The Blaster that leaped off the shelf was a 2008 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes box. Upon further review I saw the Ginter’s, Chromes, Upper Decks ect that I [...]
It has been pretty quiet around my blog lately. I have been really busy and stressed at work and it has affected my blogging. However, I did manage to knock two more Turkeys off my list this past week along with a Pudge Rodriguez I didn’t have.
The cards came in two separate transactions on Sportlots [...]
