15-2!

This is a rather pointless post.... but,

THE BRAVES BEAT THE MUTS FIFTEEN TO TWO!

All is right with the world again.

On a card related note, my wal-mart finally got in upper deck x blasters. ...If only I had the money to purchase them. Since they had no retail packs of UDX, I went for UD icons instead as it was the cheapest packs they had. I couldn't leave without buying SOMETHING.

Oh, and I hate the way our wal-mart has the cards set up. They have them down an isle where on the other side is a check out line. (which most of the time is busy) So you are constantly having to squeeze past shopping cats and shoppers. THERE ISN'T ENOUGH ROOM GOSH DARN IT! I feel bad taking the time to browse as I'm always in someone's way.

My undying love for Upper Deck X

Yes, the dreaded Upper Deck X.

I want to complete an 09 set. It will be my first 09 set, or actually my first completed set ever if I manage to succeed. Unless I manage to finish the 08 set or Tops 06 set before then that is.

The glaring question you might be wondering is WHY? WHY? WHHHHHHY?

I know most of the collecting world has dubbed the cards with their very own letter in the alphabet less than stellar. There is just something about them that appeals to me. I like them, I really do. ...Really. Honestly.

Besides for that though, there is another reason I am going after them.

UDX has a smaller base set. 100 cards are easier to get than 600. Or really 200 as I plan on going after the cut and uncut cards as well. Plus they are cheap, or cheaper than other cards, and for a gal on a limited budget, it can be a lifesaver.

I had thought about going after O-Pee-Chee and Allen and Ginter. I love the looks of both of them, but with nearly 600 base cards in O-Pee-Chee and all the different types of cards in Allen and Ginter there is no way I will ever get a full set when I average a blaster box a month.

I likely will still buy a pack here or there of OPC and A&G, but for the most part UDX will be it.

There has got to be someone out there that also collects the stuff I can trade with. Or ones that bought the cards on a whim and dislike them. I'm finally getting a collection going so perhaps we can work something out.

I need 2008 Upper Deck X cards,

I want to complete an Upper Deck X 2008 set. Yes, I happen to like Upper Deck X. It will also be (with YOUR help) my very first complete set. Or well, with the base cards anyhow. I’d like the shiny cards as well, but I don’t know how they are numbered. (Yes, I called them shiny cards, because they are... shiny)

I don’t know if people generally ask (beg) for sets like this and I hope I am not breaking some cardinal rule of baseball card blogging. I just don’t have any cards to trade. Or ones that anyone would want anyhow.

I will give you something in return. Like, umm… a handwritten letter of heartfelt thanks? I’m serious. I don’t have a lot to give, but my barley legible handwriting I have. Maybe even a few quarters for the postage you pay as well.

Oh, and what I mean by normal and cut is.. (Norma1= regular four sided card. (Cut= cards cut in shape of an X.))

P.S: Which is list is easier to read?
