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’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.

We’d swap open slots in our breaks (and I think he floated a couple bucks my way to cover […] Why am I so excited about college basketball? A few reasons. 1) My Chicago Bulls aren’t likely to be too fun to watch until Derrick Rose returns from injury. 2) I think the college game is simultaneously infinitely more fun and infinitely more frustrating to watch due to the raw passion and hustle and lack […] Are you ready to take a trip back in time? I hope so, because we’re opening 1999 Upper Deck Retro.
