Taking A Break from Vintage
February 13th, 2010 by slangon

So I’ve finally been able to track down some 2010 Topps. I had been trying to get it from Target, just because one of the cooler things I’ve seen from this release so far has been the Red Back inserts, which are exclusive to Target. For whatever reason, the local Target has not gotten 2010 […]

Christmas Cards (The Kind Without Glitter) Part II
December 31st, 2009 by slangon

Moving along with the card haul I managed to receive for Christmas, here is the highlights from the T206 blaster that I was given by my lovely sister-in-law. First up, is a batch of rookies that I’m pretty excited to get, and not in a prospector way. More in a these-guys-were-pretty-exciting-to watch-last-season-and-I’m-interested-to-see-how-they-develop kind of way. […]

Guaranteed Hits, On The Cheap, Part II
December 19th, 2009 by slangon

This is the other half of the $20 I spent for 2 guaranteed hits. The 50% off blaster of 2008 Upper Deck Series 2, touting “One Game Used Memoribilia Card in Every Box! on average”. Let’s see what gems we plucked from this bad boy, shall we. A couple of ex-Metropolitans. Have I mentioned that […]

Sunday Afternoon Football (cards)
November 22nd, 2009 by slangon

The Giants had a bye last week, so I did not bust anything. Rather I posted the neat-o Mark Sanchez autograph I got through the mail. This week the Giants are going to try and get back on track, so I have bought another Topps Magic Football blaster, which I will once again split up […]

Sunday Football Cards
October 18th, 2009 by slangon

I’m really enjoying this getting some football cards to bust along with watching a football game thing. I guess when it’s only 16 games, it’s do-able. Although I’m sure I end up opening 162 packs of cars over the course of the baseball season. I wonder. Anyway, I went and got a blaster of 09 […]

The Second Ginter Blaster
August 10th, 2009 by slangon

This is the second 09 Ginter blaster that I picked up at Target the other day. I was pretty disappointed by the first one and was fighting with myself on whether to get another one or not. On one hand, I was thinking “Frig that. I’ll just try to finish out my sets through trades.” […]

2009 Allen & Ginter Blaster
August 6th, 2009 by slangon

So after much procrastinating, here is the much anticipated 2009 Allen & Ginter blaster I scored at Target the other day. Seriously, I know you were waiting for this all week. And you know these blasters are supposed to be all stuffed to the gills with relics and autos and DNA shizznit and what have […]
