    One Box 2013 Topps Tribute -- I HIT THE BEST CARD IN THE PRODUCT!!!

    Stopped by my LCS (Legacy Sports Cards in Las Vegas) to bust a little hockey and decided to bust one of the two boxes of 2013 Topps Tribute they had left. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my collecting career. Here's the little stuff: Matt Holliday green parallel /75 Adrian...

    One Box 2012 National Treasures - Simply Amazing!

    Stopped by a card show at the local mall yesterday and went by the table my LCS (Legacy Sports Cards in Las Vegas) had set up. They were selling wax at "show pricing," which meant better prices than I could normally get in the shop. I took the opportunity to crack my annual box of National...

    One Card LCS Pickup - The Great One

    Stopped in to my LCS yesterday for some football breaks and they told me they'd just acquired a really nice hockey lot. Since I'm one of their go-to hockey guys, they asked me to take a look at it...and they were right, it was pretty sick! Lots of fantastic BAP/ITG Ultimate Memorabilia stuff...

    One 2012-13 SPGU

    Went to a local card show today and found a table with a couple of boxes of new SPGU. With the reduced price point, I thought I'd take a shot but for the first time in awhile, I'm really not sure how I did with a break...here's the damage: Pekka Rinne Authentic Fabrics (silver) Scott Hartnell...

    Big Day at the LCS - King James Style

    Yesterday, my LCS (Legacy Sports Cards in Las Vegas) held their annual anniversary party. They had pack wars, trivia, giveaways, and a raffle, with some pretty big prizes. I had a really good day, winning a Trent Richardson Panini 8x10 auto, pulling a Certified Andrew Luck Freshman Fabrics...

    LCS and Card Show Breaks - Some BIG Hits!

    Stopped by Legacy Sports Cards in Las Vegas yesterday and cracked a box of Dominion, a box of Prime, and a box of Artifacts. The Prime was nothing to write home about, the big hit was a Milan Hejduk 2 color jumbo patch and everything stayed at the shop for listing on eBay, as did all the other...

    Finally Posting My 2007-08 SPA Complete Set - Scan Heavy, Grab a Snack

    I began this set back when 2007-08 SPA was released and I pulled a couple of the big guns. I finished the majority of it that season, but I wanted to see if UD would produce a few of the redemptions. They only got one out, the Rask Future Watch auto #/999, which completed the FW auto set...

    Shield Your Eyes From This NASH-ty Pull!

    Stopped by Legacy Sports Cards in Las Vegas today for the first time in months. They had the majority of a case of 2011-12 Ultimate in stock and I decided to use some store credit to snag a couple. The majority of the break wasn't terribly special, but one card made my trip worthwhile... . . ...

    Mailday and Two Projects Completed!

    I don't post in non-sports much, but I've had a couple of non-sports projects working for a few years now. I've been able to finish both of them lately thanks to eBay Bucks and various board members. :beer: First, the mailday: Inkworks Serenity Summer Glau auto! :goal: That was the last...

    Mailday and One Tin of 10-11 The Cup...This Is Just a Tribute

    WARNING - Very long read ahead! :D First up, my mailday. Usually I just post my breaks in this space, but today I got a very special card in the mail. It's a white whale of sorts that finishes (for the moment, at least) a project 3 years in the making. Thanks to a very reasonable seller...

    5 Boxes of Gold Standard - Kobe Jersey Numbered Hit w/Pics!

    Stopped by the LCS and made the mistake of getting sucked into this stuff rather than busting a case of All Time Greats. I'd say it was average, maybe a little below average, but even with the "big" hits, it's a BAD idea to go on tilt while busting Gold Standard...here's the damage: Base...

    1 Box Zenith and 1 Box Luxury Suite - Surprisingly Good

    I stopped by a local card show today hoping to find some of the new Ultimate. Unfortunately, there were no boxes to be found, but I was able to find some Zenith and Luxury Suite. I'd heard horror stories about both, but I decided I was due for some fun and grabbed one of each. Good call...

    2010 NT Ernie Davis Souvenir Material Cuts 1/1 FS

    Some of you folks have been following my exodus with this card on other boards, but unfortunately, circumstances have arisen that are forcing my hand and making me sell this card now... I'm looking for $5000 OBO. I am taking offers, but please, SERIOUS OFFERS ONLY. PMs work best, but I'll...

    One 2010 Five Star Tin - Dual Auto "Patch" Hit

    Stopped by the LCS yesterday and saw they had gotten in a new shipment of Topps Five Star. Against my better judgement, I decided to crack a tin. Could have been better, could have been way worse, here's the damage: Base #/79: Larry Fitzgerald Santana Moss Calvin Johnson Jumbo Jerseys...

    Two 2010 NT Boxes - HUGE CHASE CARD HIT!!

    Went down to the LCS today where they were holding two boxes of National Treasures with my name on them. I cracked the first and seriously thought about walking away from the second because I'd already hit something sweet for the PC. Man, am I glad I followed my gut (addiction?) and decided to...
