A Stupid Good Trade With The Daily Dimwit

This is me trying to get caught up on trade posts a little faster before my group break officially opens (possibly later tonight!!).

Back in the day, when I opened up my “birthday” box of 2009 OPC, I was able to finagle a few trades out of you guys out there. In fact, I think […]

Quick and Easy Junkwax Trade With Reader Don

You all know I’m behind on my trade posts. There aren’t too many bloggers who manage to stay on top of such things. I would like to get caught up sometime before my wedding in May, however, so I’m going to attempt to step it up a bit.

Oh, and for those of you who […]

Some 2011 Topps You Haven’t Seen

After work today I went out to the suburbs to meet a good friend for dinner. While I was waiting for him to drive in from his meeting, I decided to stop by a nearby Target. What I was looking for was the Panini NBA sticker album, since I intend on consuming that heavily.

I […]

A Peach of a Trade With Rhubarb Runner

I’m so far behind on posting trades on here.

“How behind are you?”

I’m so far behind that I’ve already completed a second trade with Rhubarb Runner from everyone’s favorite fake Latin phrased card blog “e’ rayhahn, rayhahn.”

Okay, I’m no Johnny Carson, but it feels like Carson could have gone through 2 or 3 […]

My First 2011 Topps Card

One side effect of The Great Blizz-aster of 2011 here in Chicago was that the local release date for 2011 Topps was delayed. While the product was supposed to street on February 2, it was kind of hard to get any cards over to Target and Wal-Mart if the trucks couldn’t make it into the […]

Overdue Trade Post – The Sandlot Edition

Sometimes I love junk wax. While it may seem like everyone in the world should have every card produced between 1987 and 1996, the reality of it is that there are still some people out there that could use some of those overproduced beauties.

(…Joe) from The Sandlot is one of those people. He took […]

Overdue Trade Post – Reader Steve D. Edition

First, I want to say that if you missed it in all the Topps Series 1 madness, please take a look at my proposed group break. I’d love some more feedback before I buy the boxes. Link is here.

This blog has been nothing but contests for the past month. I don’t think that’s a […]

New Player Collections Started

One of my resolutions for this year was to expand my player collections. Currently, my collecting efforts are centered around Greg Maddux, Ryan Dempster (as a Cub only for now), and Carlos Marmol. 1.5 starters and 1.5 closers, all pitchers. My goal was to add some bats to my line-up and reach at least 5 […]
