A while back, I happened to be hanging out with my parents and my dad slipped me a couple of packs of unopened cards that he said he got at a comic shop, 3 packs for a buck. Now as soon as he told me what they cost I immediately had a suspicion of what […]

I did not decide that it was the Year of Vintage. It is apparently just fated that way. Yesterday, after I had gotten done mentioning that I was declaring this The Year of Vintage, I had to run out a do a couple of errands. I was heading over by the local Target, so I […]

This trade comes to us from Captain Canuck in the far North. I sent him some ’09 Ginter needs, and he was supposed to do the same. As you’ll see, he did that and a bit more. What was supposed to be in the trade were these Ginters: #50 Pat Neshek #159 Denard Span #170 […]

So before I get to the Ginter blaster and the mail, I just wanted to finish up my organization saga. At this point I have my goals as a collector all spelled out. Now my only problem, which was pretty much my problem at the get-go, is what to do with the piles upon piles […]
