My New Superfractor!!!

I guess technically it is not a Superfractor, but it basically is. This card is numbered 1/1 and is truely a gorgeous card. I am super stoked to get this for my collection. With this in hand, I think I am going to go for the rainbow which should be easy because I only need 2 more cards to complete it.

Recent Pack Breaks: Golden Giveaway Fail/ Win

After being dragged to the mall, I stumbled across a Newbury Comics so I had to check out the card section. I didn't want to spend to much because of a big purchase I am making today (I'll post it later) so I settled on one jumbo and one regular pack of 2012 Topps. Overall I think I did pretty good for two packs. The highlights were a Prime Nine redemption, a Golden Giveaway code, and a black parellel /61.



I thought the fun was over, but when I redeemed my Golden Giveaway code someting strange happened. The code turned out to be a Robinson Cano ring, my second player ring. The site then told me that I had reached the three you need to get a free code. I wasn't going to turn down a free code, so I used it and got a David Price Die Cut! What luck!



I ended up trading it later for a nice Adrian Gonzalez Die Cut that will stay in my PC. Not bad for a Golden Giveaway glitch.

I'll Take This For $10 All Day Long

After getting a good deal on my jumbo patch, I have a bunch of money left, so I spent some of it on this, and hopefully the rest will last till next weekend when I will probably get out to a card store.  For $10 this is a steal.  Problem was, the starting bid was $10 which scares off bidders.  Another thing was it was only a 24 hour auction, so not much time for people to see it.  It is a nice 2 color patch numbered 5/25.  For now all I have is the crappy scan that was used in the auction, but I will get a better scan of it when I get it in hand.

New Jumbo Patch Pickup

Hey, I just wanted to share a new jumbo patch I picked up off of eBay.  I have three others already, so this is my forth.  They are also numbered 1/6, 2/6, 3/6, and 4/6.  It would be really cool if I could eventually get all six of them.  I will post scans of them together when I get it in the mail.  This patch is the top of the C and A (I have the bottom peice too) from AMERICAN.  Also, you can see the edge of the star in the top right corner which serves as the dot on the I.

My New Blue Jays Hat Inspired Me To Post My Favorite Blue Jays Card (MUST SEE)...

I don't usually post random cards, but after buying a new Blue Jays hat, I feel inspired to post my favorite Blue Jays card. Even though he is no longer on the Blue Jays, I would consider him the best pitcher to ever play for the Blue Jays. This is a card that I pulled myself out of a hobby box of 2010 Upper Deck Baseball. I saw the thickness, so naturally I saved it for last. I slid the card so I couldn't see the player, but I could see the team and position. Pretty dissapointed to get a Blue Jays pitcher so I slid and saw the patch. Okay, this is the sickest patch I have ever pulled. Finally I slid and revealed the player, Roy Halladay. Duh, I almost forgot about him because when I pulled this, he was no longer on the Blue Jays. I will let the card speak for itself...

Interesting Non Cards Sports Related Purchase

You might be wondering what this is, so here we go. Besides baseball cards, I also have quite a few hats. So today I ordered a couple more hats. The first one is the new Blue Jays hat.


I really like the colors and the nice old school type logo. I am a huge fan of this hat and I love the new jerseys that go with them. Now the next one may be a shocker to some of you. After writing this...


I have changed my mind about the new Marlins Uniform. I think they are kind of cool looking now, so that is why I picked up their hat.

I Didn't Know Upper Deck First Edition Had Hits

I busted a lot of Upper Deck first edition back in 2007 and 2008, and I never pulled anything of note. A few days ago, I discovered there actually are hits in this product. I used to just bust it because it was dirt cheap and fun to open, but I didn't know there were jersey cards in there. I must have opened like 50+ packs of it between loose packs and blaster boxes and never pulled anything besides base. The reason why I discovered this is because someone offered to trade me a Youkilis jersey from this set. Anyways, the card arrived in the mail the other day and it is sweet. This card is really thick for a jersey, so thick it is in a 180pt toploader. The design is great, and I really apreciate the red jersey swatch. Well, here it is...



Man this would be a great design for a patch card or laundry tag.
