I’m almost caught up with all my trade packages. I know, I know. I’m as surprised as you are. Of course with my semi-weekly trade bait posts going strong, I expect to be very far behind again very soon. Still, by my count I have about five people more to thank and then I’ll really […]

I told myself I wasn’t going to buy any cards for a while. I need to stop the unnecessary spending, cut back on my discretionary items, and focus on the material possessions I already have. But, I broke. I almost had to. When you come across a deal this good, you just have to dive […] Before my finances got all out of whack and I had a steady stream of disposable income, I was able to take part in a couple cheap group breaks. Now, normally, I give each of these their own post, but I’m not going to. Neither resulted in anything for my player collections anyway, so each […] I’ve been kind of obsessing over my want lists lately. It seems like each post is passive-aggressively commenting on the overwhelming amount of new cards being added to the want section while my highlighted “haves” stay put. It brings my whole average down. Like Starlin Castro batting average down. Let’s just say that we’ve both […] It’s not hard to feel like you’re moving backwards in this hobby sometimes. A new set or two gets released in rapid fire and your want lists suddenly explode, all while you’re still trying (unsuccessfully) to tread water on the last couple sets. Blogging can be like that, too. You start to make progress with […] I’m sure all of us have been in a budget crunch situation multiple times in our lives. It’s only natural to see cash ebb as well as flow. I’m in the middle of an “ebb” cycle, and I’m expecting to stay firmly there until at least after the holidays. That means no buying new cards. […] A simple phrase that can mean so many things. In April, when I started this draft, I initially intended it to talk about the progress I was making moving into our new house. I could write about the flurry of moves the Cubs have made recently. Tonight saw Matt Garza go, but prior to that, […] Not for a while at least. I have some packages due to Cards on Cards and Cardboard Junkie, and I’ll be sure to send some stuff off to them, but after that I’m going to go on a self-imposed hiatus. It’s not anything to do with my impending move, either. Well, partly, I guess. Really […] I like oddball sets. That’s not completely true. Let’s say I have a love-hate relationship with them. The quirkiness of a product like Moments & Milestones or Topps Tek intrigues me greatly and makes me want to open multiple boxes. The player collection mentality urging me to seek out and horde what is essentially 20-200 […] |
