WORST NIGHTMARE EVER!!!!

I had the absolute worst nightmare EVER the other night.

I went to Target and they had stopped selling baseball cards! It was horrible. All they had where NASCAR memorabilia . I asked a worker when they where getting more and they said they weren't! I don't hate NASCAR, but IT WAS JUST TO MUCH!

I also dreamed about trying to buy a blaster box of Topps 2008 series 2, but couldn't and the whole thing turned into a huge ordeal that took me all over town.

...I need to stop having dreams about cards.

McCann's Lame Contest

So I've been wanting to do a contest. However, I really don't have that much to offer. I still don't have that much to offer really. What I do have is three packs of Donruss 1991 cards and two packs of 1993 topps series 1 cards. I know, not that grand, but it is free cards.

SEEEEEEEEE!



So if you want em, simply guess how may times Chipper Jones is displayed in my room. This does not include cards. Figurines, posters and pictures are included however. Person that gets it right are comes closest, wins. Contest lasts till next Saturday.

The mailman had been busy.

I got some packages this week, which makes me happy.

Thanks to Night Owl I am close to completing my 2006 topps set. He got me all but twelve of them. Whoo! Thank you.

I also got a surprise package from Troll yesterday. It contained a Curtis Granderson Jersey card, two other Curtis cards and even some Braves. There was note saying he wanted to be the first to give me a Curtis jersey card, and he was! :) The Curtis cards are now at home in their very own album and the Braves in their... shoe box. It is a nice shoe box that is decorated pwreeety though.

And and ANNNNNNNNND! I got my set of 1990 score set from Ebay.

I also had another post on another topic, but my computer ate it.

1990 score

I hadn't even heard of this set until I was leafing through my cards and found a couple the other day. I have to say I like it, I really, really like it. I like the the colors, the pictures, and I especially like the design on the back of the card. It is different than I am use to seeing, which is perhaps why I like it so much.


Smooooooooooltzie!



I liked it so much I bought the entire set on Ebay! It was only 1.25 for the set, but 14.00 for shipping, so it seems to even out from what I've seen on E-bay. Plus the guys had great feedback. I hope I get what I asked for anyway.

I don't tend to go for full sets, but it isn't like you can stop by target and pick up a few packs when you want.

Have you guys seen these cards? Don't know how popular they are really.

How I spent my Halloween.

Ready for it?

Alphabetizing my Brave cards while watching Halloween. Or watching bits and pieces of it anyhow.

I have to say though, I'd rather spend time with cards than at a party. Cards aren't loud and obnoxious. I miss trick or treating though. I went as Chipper one year, one of my last years I believe. Even did my socks up to my knees, which I'm sad to say he doesn't do anymore. Don't think I have a picture, or if I do it is lost and buried somewhere.

Oh and I have been looking for new players to collect and along with David Wright, I have picked Curtis Granderson. It stemmed from seeing an interview of him once and he just seemed like a nice and likable guy, and the more I look the more I find my first impression to be true.

P.S I got your package Troll, thanks. Getting closer and closer to marking off all my cards or series 1. ;) Enjoyed the Braves as well.

...and for all you Americans, remember to turn your clocks back an hour before going to bed.

Storing your sets.

I am curious where you keep your sets. In binders or boxes?

Is there a binder big enough to fit the typical Topps base sets of 630+ cards?


Also, how do you feel about buying the entire base set in one go?

I am a bit iffy myself. On one hand it is easy to do and everything is all there and in order (I assume the cards are in order). Yet, it takes from the thrill of ripping packs and putting the set together yourself. The satisfaction with comes with checking off yet another number on your want list. The memories you get when you look through the set and remember where and how you got the card.

... I had more to say, but my mind has gone blank. Just been staring mindlessly at the screen for the last few minutes. Meh, night.
