My life and times in sports and baseball cards
I was browsing Ebay this afternoon not really looking for anything in particular when I landed on the Cut Autograph card of Thurman Munson. “Thurm” is one of my All-Time favorite players so I had to check out this auction. The first thing I noticed about the card wasn’t the price which was at $500 [...]
I was sitting at my computer waiting on a large file download and getting a bit bored with that I turned around to face my book cases on the opposite wall. I probably shouldn’t call them bookcases because they only have three books on them. But they do hold nearly a hundred sports cards, a [...]
There are still no blasters of 2009 Topps Baseball in Tyler Texas, but there are some jumbo packs. So I grabbed one this weekend while shopping for sustenance at the local big box store. They had a dozen or so 2009 Upper Deck blasters but I’m just not that excited about Upper Deck.
I can’t help [...]
This is the second of the buy one get one 2008 UD Masterpieces Baseball blasters from Kmart. The first box did not yield any of the cards I was really hoping for and overall the box was pretty average. I decided to count the first box as the free one and this box the one [...]
Finishing out the purchases of the bargain priced blasters I found at the Kmart in Lufkin Texas we have a buy one get one deal on 2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces Baseball. The two boxes were glued together and then shrink wrapped. Each box contains eight packs with four cards in each pack. I am going [...]
You may remember from a previous post of mine about Masterpieces Football that I really enjoyed it and was planning on building the set. I haven’t done much to complete the Touch’em All quest of building the set but today I have a blaster box to help in that endeavor. The blaster contains 6 packs [...]
Continuing with the bargain blasters I found at Kmart we have the box of 2008 Upper Deck Heroes Football. Here we go again with the ‘bonus’ packs again as this box has 7 packs plus 2 bonus packs. I call Bullshit on this, its really a 9 pack blaster for originally $14.99 that I got [...]
I was wrapped up in some paperwork and card sorting this weekend and completely forgot about the mail. Tucked between some bills and advertisements was an envelope from Chris in Pennsylvania. Enclosed were Ivan Rodriguez, Ian Kinsler and Michael Young.
As most of you know I am trying to get every Ivan Rodriguez and Ian Kinsler [...]
I am finally getting around to opening one of the Bargain Blasters I found the other day at Kmart. Baseball is so close I can smell it so I decided to start with the 2008 Goudey Box. The box was originally priced at $19.99 but I got it for $10.99. Yea for me. The configuration [...]
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 [...]
I have been offline for the past few days almost as much as when I am vacationing in Mexico. My job has been pretty demanding the last few days and new processes, meetings and technicals issues have met me at every turn of late. But on the positive side of things I had to make [...]
Much to the chagrine of my fellow bloggers and collectors I did not open this blaster last night. Even though I haven’t found a 2009 Topps Blaster yet I am going to go ahead and open this UD Blaster now. I have waited long enough to open some 2009 Baseball Cards.
Alright, here we go with [...]
Today I managed to find a blaster of brand spanking new 2009 baseball cards. Sweet Relief. However, it wasn’t the Topps blasters but a shiny Upper Deck Blaster that was staring back at me from the shelf. I had to move a pack searcher out of the way to get it but its mine now. [...]
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 [...]
