I Actually Bought a Pack of Baseball Cards
August 27th, 2012 by slangon

You know the story. You’re at Target and/or Walmart running errands and happen by the card aisle. Of course you can’t just walk by without just popping your head in to see what’s that haps. Then your pocket starts to heating up and before you know it, there’s a hole burning in that pocket. It’s […]

Cards From This Century
April 24th, 2012 by slangon

It’s been a little cold and damp around these parts lately. I had put Sunday aside to watch to the Mets/Giants game, which ended up getting postponed, setting up a Monday double header (which them stupid bums lost both games of. grrrr.). Because of that, I ended up running errands on Sunday rather than watching […]

Opening Day 2011
April 1st, 2011 by slangon

After a long cold winter, Opening Day is finally here. I know, I know. Opening Day was technically yesterday, but for whatever reason the scheduling gods decided that the Mets wouldn’t open until today. I’m actually a little confused as to what happened. I always remember the very first game of the season happening on […]

Some Birthday Cards
June 30th, 2010 by slangon

Last Saturday happened to be the 36th anniversary of the day that Derek Jeter popped out of his momma’s womb. It also happened to be the 36th anniversary of the day that I popped out of my momma’s womb. My wifey was cool enough to give me a blaster, a cereal box and a rack […]

A Breakdown of 2010 Topps Retail Options
February 17th, 2010 by slangon

Now that much of the Million Card Giveaway madness has subsided, I thought I would share the breakdown of cards that I’ve gotten from different forms of 2010 Topps Baseball. I’ve busted a blaster, which I’ve already posted here, but in the mean time I’ve also ripped a couple of rack packs and a handful […]

Sunday Afternoon Football (Cards): The Final Regular Season Game
January 3rd, 2010 by slangon

Last one for the regular season. My Giants ended their season with a bang last week, so I’ll just pretend that this week is just an exhibition game. I ordered a couple of boxes from Dave and Adam’s Card World last week and since I spent over $50 or whatever I got 4 free packs […]

Sunday Afternoon Football (Cards)
December 27th, 2009 by slangon

I almost can’t believe there’s only 2 regular season games left. Geez. Big day for the Football Giants. As usual, it’s a must win for them. Seems like going against the Panthers makes that a bit of an attainable goal. But then again, you never can tell with those Giants. I doubt we’re going to […]

T206, The 2009 Version
December 16th, 2009 by slangon

Just in time for everyone to be over 206. I’ve seen a bunch of pack and box breaks of 206 over the last few weeks, and I must admit, the cards look awesome. Not awesome enough for me to decide to collect, though. Instead, I decided I would just try and nail down the Mets […]

Guaranteed Hits, On The Cheap
December 13th, 2009 by slangon

Last week, I had to run down to the local Target for some errands and having a $20 burning a hole in my pocket, I figured I would grab a blaster while I was there. I was thinking maybe Topps Magic, Goodwin Champions or 206, if they had any. When I finished up all my […]

A Sunday Dose of Football Cards
November 1st, 2009 by slangon

So once again, a couple of packs of Topps Magic to open while I watch some football games. Same drill as before. I’m just posting the cool stuff. We’ll start it off this week with a couple of rookie cards. Jared looks like he wants to fight. Brandon looks like he wants to dance. You […]
