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 […]
