Congratulations to the Chicago Cubs

This won’t take up too much of your time, but I wanted to at least acknowledge the end of the Chicago Cubs’ 2015 season.

Simply put, we had a great run! I know that some people at the start of the season expected really big things out of the Cubs, and Vegas even had them […]

Promises, Promises

Aaaaand, I’m back….?

Have you been watching this space, like I asked? If you have, I greatly appreciate it and I’m sorry. I’ve done this a couple times before already in this blog’s history, but let me explain.

Just about this entire absence has been due to my job. Right at the time Andy […]

State of Affairs

Quite a bit has happened since my last blog post, and a lot will likely happen in the next couple weeks, so I thought it best to give a quick rundown.

Since my last post, work has kicked my ass. It’s a finicky position where I don’t fully know when I will be extremely busy […]

Plans Don’t Always Work Out

I didn’t plan on having my previous post be the last one before completing the move into the new house. I have a couple others half-finished that will be waiting a little bit longer. The plan was to get at least one up before things got too hectic.

I didn’t plan to be away from […]

A Little Promotional Indulgence

By the looks of it, many of you already know about the site Got It. Got It. Need It., but I’m late to the party.

I just posted a little bit of trade bait, and a couple of you have responded already. If I wanted, I could use this excellent resource to be more proactive. […]

Good Things Come To Those Who Wait

It’s a phrase we’ll hear many times throughout our lives. Most of the time the way it’s uttered is riddled with cliche. It’s small talk. You could be discussing something as mundane as your weekend plans on a Wednesday and that co-worker chimes in “Good things come to those who wait.”

Right. Thanks for that.

Feast Or Famine

Hey look! There are two people who post on this blog! My name’s Andy. We may have met. I’m the one who annoys you with Royals autograph posts and less funny captions than Jon. I’m also the one prone to fits of months without posts, one of which just ended. It’s a shame, really, because […]

2011 Collecting Goals Final Report

No new resolutions for me this year.

I know it’s the middle of March, but I never went on the record when most of you were talking about such things. You can all exhale now.

There are two key reasons as to why I’m not setting collecting goals for 2012. One is a lack of […]

Allow Me To Reintroduce Myself

(Post title inspired by the above song – which I argue is the best song on the entire Black Album. Thought about writing some parody lyrics, but that might be stupid, so I didn’t. Anyway, we now return to our regularly scheduled programme: “Gomme communautaire” – Community Gum)

I hear it all the time. […]

2011 A&G ABP – Trade Me These Cards

I never really paid much attention to the Allen & Ginter checklist for this year. I knew what mini sets were coming down the line, and I saw a couple things about the non-sport inclusions in the set, but that’s about it.

I didn’t follow it as closely as I normally would have, because we’re […]
