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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Last one. Go. Pack #5: 2009 Topps Series 2 #397 Carlos Ruiz #353 Derek Jeter – I’ll admit it. I sort of hate Jeter. Mostly because he’s so good, and not a Met. #527 Jason Isringhausen – Once park of “Generation K”. I guess just goes to prove, snappy nicknames do not make good ballplayers. [...]

Let’s keep it moving, people. Go. Pack #2: 2009 Allen & Ginter #167 Jim Thome – This dudes career numbers are incredible. For some reason though, I always forget he exists. The Forgettable Super-Star. #75 David Wright – I was watching the Mets pre-game yesterday, and they were talking to D. Wright about the beaning [...]
Long story short. Needed TP. Was at Target. Picked up 5 packs of cards. Go. Pack #1: 2009 Allen & Ginter #169 Kazuo Matsui – Congrats to Kaz on joining the Meikyukai Golden Player’s Club. #72 Carlos Lee – I think Carlos Lee is my anti-SP this year. This is like the 92nd copy I [...]
