My Bold Attempt....

Hey, everyone. After careful consideration, I decided that I am going to pursue the entire set of 2006 UD Future Stars Clear Path to Greatness RC Autos. Some of the highlights include Jon Lester, Josh Johnson, and Justin Verlander, to name a few. Bold? Maybe. Too expensive? Doubtful. Quality Set with a sweet design? Absolutely.
Take a look at the design for this set, and try to tell me that some genius over at UD didn't burn the midnight oil thinking this up (If only that was the case today and they weren't involved in sketchy legal affairs). There's 83 Cards to Collect, and I'm not going for the red sigs, so this shouldn't be too hard to collect.

New Custom (Plus 20youk's "Crusade for the Card Rainbow")

Hey, everyone. I just made a new custom for the TPP Insert Set. Check it out!

Also, I'd like to make a shout out to anyone on the card blogosphere who was any knowledge of a 2010 Topps Chrome Kevin Youkilis SuperFractor. You know it begins to become an issue when countless hours of google searching are of no avail, and that's why we need your help for 20youksox's...
CRUSADE FOR THE CARD RAINBOW!
Thanks everyone. Each tick of that countdown clock just builds more and more anticipation for what promises to be a truly great season of Major League Baseball. I can't wait!

Mojo Pickup!

Here it is, the 2010 Topps Chrome Kevin Youkilis Red Refractor 14/25! This is the second to last peice of my rainbow. I still need the superfractor, so if you know its whereabouts, please let me know, and I will send you an offer.

Jon Lester TPP Insert "SUPERSTARS"

Darnell McDonald 2011 TPP

Darnell McDonald had a breakout year last season with the Red Sox, platooning in various spots in the injury-ridden outfield. He filled in admirably, hitting a game tying 2-Run Home Run and a walk off double in his call-up debut.

Today's Pickups

Hey, everyone. I checked out a new card store today in Abbington, MA called "The Bleacher". I really liked it, and considering there are two more card stores within 6 miles of this one, it is inevitable that I will eventually be doing...THE BATTLE OF THE HOBBY STORES. As for pickups, I bought a pack of 2010 Upper Deck and a pack of 2011 Topps, and several singles including a 2006 David Ortiz Turkey Red Jsy, 2001 Just Minors Adrian Gonzalez Gold, 1998-1999 Topps Paul Pierce RC, and a 2010 UD Sonny Gray Jsy. Pics below for a couple of the cards!

2011 Topps Allen and Ginter Preview!

This year, Topps Allen and Ginter is back and better than ever. Many new and interesting insert sets will hit the market including uninvited geusts, floating fortresses, minds that made the future, and others. The mini cards will have the same variations, except that this year's cloth cards will only feature 150 subjects. The product will have the same configuration as previous years including 3 hits per box. I was told by Chris Olds that Kevin Youkilis does have a relic in the set!!! Other key relics include Albert Pujols,Ichiro, Ryan Howard, and Derek Jeter. Top autos include Albert Pujols, Ryan Howard, Jason Heyward, Aroldis Chapman, and Joe Mauer. Box-loaders will feature the usual n43 cards, but will also include jumbo state die cut cards that can be put together to form a map of the United States.
