Braves Caravan!
A week or so ago I posted that the Braves Caravan was coming to Evans. Well, I wernt and it was SUPER GREAT. You can tell it was SUPER GREAT because SUPER GREAT is in all caps.
I edned up being the first one in line. I was there for over three hours. Talked to a guy there most of the time who was the secodn in line. He had season tickets.
They where stricter this year. We where all given numbers and where told they could only sign one item and I coulld not get pictures with them. They even took my number which I wnated to keep and them gloat that I was number one.
I did take a picture OF them though.
and... and... here are there autographs!
I also got Fredi and Freddie to sign cards aswell. (I BROKE THE RULES! Shhhhhh..don't tell anyone.)I wished I would have had another card of Freddy though. Pen does not go good on shinny chrome.
I was so nervous in front of them. They where BRAVES and right in front of me. Genuine bonfied Brave players! I should have asked them to skae hands, like someone else did. Then I could have touched a Brave.

You have GOT to be kidding me -__-
So, I was checking out you you tube to see if someone has posted any videos of any 2011 topps. I came across only one. It was made by the user name packsearchers.com That is like, I dunno... baseball blasphemy to call yourself that.
They actually quote...
"....if you'd like to learn how to find relics, autos, and other hot packs in this product and many more visit our website at www.PackSearchers.Com."
Great thing to teach newcomers and kids that don't know any better.-_-
They even post VIDEOS on learning the art of douchebaggery.
I checked out the website which you have to sign up for to be able to see/do anything. After signing up you are taken to a message board. You can only view one thread however.
They want you to pay to be able to see the other boards. You get to pay to learn how to a douche of the card collecting world. I bet the admin is making his mother proud that she gave him her basement to live in (No offense to any non pack searchers living in their parent's basement. You don't count).
I really, really, really, really, really, really, really hope that when a sap actually pays they are taken to a page that reads...
PACK SEARCHING IS STUPID
DON'T DO IT!

Jump in prices on 2011 topps series 1.
I was just checking out blowout cards and saw that their price on a hobby box of series 1 2011 has jumped up twenty dollars as has their jumbo. Other sites seem to be following suit.
This makes me glad I pre-ordered a week or so ago. However, for those that did not, not so much. It would have certainly put my card buying on hold, at least concerning 2011 series 1 cards.
The jump in price appears to be because of the wrapper redemption Topps has announced which I am sure most of you have heard about. If you send in 36 hobby wrappers or 10 jumbo ones you get a 5 card set featuring current MLB players on 1952 black diamond design. Read more about it HERE.
Is that really worth the extra jump in price? I'm asking you guys, the seasoned vetrens of card collecting, versus me, the rookie. I figure a lot of people will be redeming these cards which will decrease the price of said cards.(I would assume) I would rather save my twenty and put it to any black diamond card I wanted, which is sure to appear on E-bay.
I will likely send in the wrappers just because, but I care more about putting together the base set.

I'M GONNA MEET THE MANAGER!
Tuesday at 4 pm at the Sports Academy in Evans Ga! The Braves are doing their caravan this year again and the players and personal listed are as follows for the one I plan on going to!
Jonny Venters
Matt Young
Freddie Freeman
Brandon Hicks
Fredi Gonzalez <- w00t
I am excited for them all though!
I have been the last two years they have had it and had a blast. Can't wait this year. The years before I got to go through the line twice, even three times. If I can this year I just may have a contest. I just wish I had someone to go with as I always end up going alone.
Read more about which players will be where HERE.
