I Got the Hot Hand

Anyone who hasn’t signed up for my Community Break might want to consider doing so, because I’m starting a hot streak.

I was at Target and Wal-Mart on Friday during lunch looking for Heritage, Opening Day, NBA Stickers and/or Garbage Pail Kids Series 2. I had no luck out there in the suburbs (haven’t looked […]

This Trade is Garbage…

…Pail Kids!

On a recent trip to the OCS (Online Card Shop) to get some boxes for Jon’s forthcoming Community Break, I grabbed our second box of 2008 Bowman Chrome. Jon and I busted one of these a while back and Jon even tracked out prospects’ progress at the end of the season. In that first box, […]

I […]

2010 Topps Platinum Football Video Box Break

Due to a combination of the 2nd blizzardiest blizzard in Chicago history and the perfect storm of laziness + birthday/anniversary/Valentine’s Day celebrations, I finally got around to cracking a box of 2010 Platinum football that I originally intended to be a live break during the Super Bowl. Enjoy it!

I’m glad my cell phone […]

Future Group/Community Break Follow-Up

A couple months ago when I brought up the idea of hosting another Group Break (aka Community Break) on the ol’ blog, I didn’t get a whole lot of feedback.

Honestly, that’s okay. Because even though only 4 people commented on what they’d like to have broken, it seemed as if a consensus was already […]
