The Daily List - December 4, 2013

1. I've mentioned him once, but I want to mention him again - if you haven't given Alex over at Chavez Ravining a read, you should do it. The guy has some great info and is an amazing trade partner. He has single-handedly crushed my 2013 Topps Flagship needs (minus one card). So go give him a read and a follow, then work out a deal with him. You will be much better off for doing it.
2. As my time back in the hobby passes, I find my tastes changing. While I once wanted every Ranger card I could get my hands on, now I see that my tastes have narrowed greatly. For instance, with the inevitability of Nelson Cruz moving to another team drawing closer, I realize that I'm only interested in cards in which he is wearing a Rangers uniform. Furthermore, for some of my lesser interest, i.e. Ian Kinsler, my interest in their cards dissipates altogether. Therefore, I'm left with cards like this one that I feel compelled to move. Although I do really like this one.                                                                                                                            
   
3. I noticed last night that my Rendon collection is growing steadily, especially in the autograph department. 
   
4. A couple weeks ago, Brad over at Brad's Blog sent me a ridiculous package that far exceeded what I sent him. Like Alex, Brad is a damn good trade partner, so if you aren't already following his blog, go do it now. And Brad, I finally have a nice little surprise for you! Be expecting it soon...

The Daily List - November 29, 2013

1. It's official - I'm starting an Anthony Rendon PC. I noticed over the weekend that I've got quite a few cards of the Nats' second baseman and I even have a saved search for him on eBay. Might as well go ahead an make it official. I have a few old girlfriends that would have appreciated that level of commitment. Ha!
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
2. Speaking of "looking at cards over the weekend," I went back through my 2013 Bowman set from the early release this year. I thought I had that one finished; however, when actually thumbing through the cards, I found some holes. Help me out with these, please!
1. Pro set - 22, 48, 161
2. Prospects - 12, 25
3. Prospects Chrome - 1
3. Marcus over at all the way to the backstop is working on putting together the 50-card 1971 mini insert set from 2013 Topps Update. If you have some of the cards he needs, do him a solid and send them his way.
4. Lastly, I know that I'm not saying anything that hasn't already been shared, but what is up with this Topps Redemption nonsense??? I've been waiting for an eternity for a few cards. Last week, I checked the website, and it changed three times over the span of an hour. What the crap, man??

That's it for today's hit list. Again, I'm looking for feedback about how to make my blog better, more user-friendly and more reader interactive. Leave me a note in the comments! I'm going to a concert tonight, one of my favorite bands since high school called Taproot. So I leave you with this to melt your face!
