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 […] 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. […] If we’re being technical, this should probably be a “Part 2.” In case you’re wondering, “Part 1” would be this post. At around the same time that trade was being arranged, Mary contacted me about trading some stickers for her two boys. Of course I was very happy to oblige. A couple quick emails, a […] When you’re as far behind in posting things you receive as I am, you need as much help as you can get. I’m usually pretty good about getting everything scanned by group into my various collection folders quickly (but not separated by individual card until post time). I also like to write down the package […] As you guys have probably noticed, posting on the blog has been sparse once again. Let’s not sugarcoat things. It’s kind of pathetic. Just like all the other times this has happened, we have good reasons (although, it’s terrible that we have to even get to this point to begin with). We’ve both been working […] Once again, neither delegate from the state of Community Gum attended the National Sports Collectors Convention this year. At least one of us should and will be roaming the show floor in 2013 when the NSCC returns to Chicago. Even though we weren’t able to see all the amazing action in person, nor stand in […] Ginter! Gint-A-Cuffs! Fighting! Ripping! Ripping Packs! Packs of Ginter! Video! Finally! Slow on the draw as usual getting our video and review up for everyone to enjoy and/or summarily ignore. Then to make matters worse, we forgot to shoot our card close-ups! Shoddy craftsmanship. Just you wait. As soon as blogging becomes our full-time […] The answer, of course, is most likely no. Still, humor me. When Series 1 of 2012 Topps was getting ready to hit the shelves and our grubby little mits, Topps made an announcement regarding the two big name off-season free agent signings. Jose Reyes and Albert Pujols were going to have “Super short prints” in […] Wow! Time flies quickly, doesn’t it? Can you believe that in less than a week, 2012 Topps Allen & Ginter will be live on the streets? That means that Gint-A-Cuffs IV is right around the corner. You don’t want to be caught unprepared do you? Of course not! If you haven’t signed your blog up […] It’s here! It’s finally here! After begging through several trade posts with no response I was starting to feel like all hope was lost. I considered utilizing the power of Night Owl’s One Card Challenge, but pride stopped me. People read our posts, too. All I have to do is let people know that I […] |
