BLAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! - I'm Lazy

Seriously, why am I so lazy? I did this video like 2 weeks ago. Anyway, here's a recap of a recent 2008 Goudey box break.



Oh, and my wantlist is up for that set. And it is massive. So please help.

And, for good measure, here is a recent recap of some Kalish and Wakefield stuff I picked up.



I seriously need to take photo of that triple auto, that thing is redonkulously awesome!

And now, an end to this laziness. Finally.

Someone explain to me how this kid can afford a box of Bowman and I can't afford a box of Series 2 Topps. I call shenanigans.

My Wantlists are Up

Good lord, I need a lot of this year's Topps set.

Anyway, my wantlists are up (to a degree, more to come later). The link can be found at the top of the page, next to my Kalish Kollection and Wakefield Collection. Hit me up if you want to trade.

And, you know what, let's watch Game 7 with Dave Goucher and Bob Beers with the call.



Makes me feel good every time!

The Most Glorious Post About Cards Ever

No seriously, it is. Stale Gum's one and only Chris Harris, as only he can do, has compared cards to drugs. Maybe the best piece of cardbloggery ever written. And, you should go read it RIGHT NOW!


No, seriously, you should.

Oh right, and do you need any further proof of Tim Thomas being God?





I rest my case.

A Trip to the LCS: Golds, Twinks, and Tim Wakefield

Some local card shops leave something to be desired. Not mine. Kenmore Collectibles is, in my opinion, the best run card shop in the Boston Area. The owners really know how to connect to the collector: reasonable wax prices, lots of cheap singles, sales and discounts, and so on and so forth.

So today, with a little extra time on my hands, I decided to make a run on the LCS. Here's the stuff I picked up while there.



Note to all: I Collect Wakefield (with a C, the Kollecting is reserved for Kalish). Just decided yesterday to start collecting the Ol Knuckleballer, so here's a start to my collection. Now up to whopping 6 cards! Woo!



I think I might go after the entire 2010 A&G Mini Set. I just really like the design of these cards. Now, I only have 348 of 350 to go; I only have this and Vernon Wells. Fun...



A Sonny Gray chrome for $.50? Eh, what the hell! Might be able to make a buck or two down the line. I've heard that he is the shit, but time will tell.



Now, this was an interesting find. For 3 bucks, a gold refractor of a guy that is hot this season. Morton is 6-2 with an ERA under 2.5 for the Bucco's this year. Think I can crack 5 bucks on eBay with this thing? (Yeah I'm selling it, I need money!)

I also bought I rack pack of 2011 Topps Series 1 while there (I figure the hobby wax was probably too expensive to buy, but who cares). I pulled this from the rack:



Yes, this is a David Price waste of space sparkle variation. I don't understand two things: why Topps makes these and how they are popular. It's only a little photoshopped lens flare,

WHAT'S THE BIG FRACKIN DEAL?!?!?!

Returning to cardbloggery, this was gonna be it from card shop, but the owner threw in a bonus:



These here are hobby store exclusive inserts. The owner said he usually distributes them one at a time, but he gave me 10 of them: Aaron, Pujols, Longoria, Heyward, Posey, Braun, Cano, Mauer, Howard, and Hamilton. I think these are kinda interesting inserts, very simple. Nothing overly special, just simple. I think I might go after the full set of these, so if you have any, shoot me a message and we can work out a deal.

And, if you're ever in the Boston Area, make a run over to Kenmore Collectibles, located on Commonwealth Ave in Kenmore Square in Boston, only a 5 minute walk from Fenway Pahk!

Oh, and short Bruins update: Alex Burrows is a tool and Tim Thomas is still God.

That is all.
