The one LCS I would hang out at every now and then once had a great variety of packs. Eventually he had three or four boxes opened and the rest were sealed boxes. He closed his doors within a year. Lol. The good news is it's a very small sample size. The other LCS that's still open in my area has tons of packs available... dating back to the early 80's.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964906674812425407.post-66761623635002117872018-01-10T09:10:09.075-08:002018-01-10T09:10:09.075-08:00I have a hankering to get into baseball/baseball c...I have a hankering to get into baseball/baseball cards - I like how Topps releases an affordable set...at least I think they do! Anyway, yeah baseball, I have no idea where to even begin with following and collecting baseball - I haven’t watched it since ‘92! I know some of the Blue Jays players , maybe like 1 or 2 to be honest - Bautista, is he even a Jay anymore? Oh and Josh Donaldson, to my knowledge he is still a Jay.Coast To Postshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11472349342853837560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964906674812425407.post-52573629344525630562018-01-09T17:07:41.786-08:002018-01-09T17:07:41.786-08:00Wow, that's one of the worst sigs I've eve...Wow, that's one of the worst sigs I've ever seen.P-town Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07437348006643978055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964906674812425407.post-90950807460462541772018-01-09T16:30:43.688-08:002018-01-09T16:30:43.688-08:00White had a more legible autograph for early seaso...White had a more legible autograph for early season Bowman releases - between when he signed the early 2017 cards to when he signed the late season 2017 cards - he just said 'F' it.Laurenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09560491721875658178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964906674812425407.post-40989285552092968482018-01-09T14:36:30.124-08:002018-01-09T14:36:30.124-08:00Interesting autos.

I think I was on the tail end of cursive being emphasized in elementary school, and if I write my full name in cursive today it looks like a grade-schooler wrote it. My signature is a C-squiggle-dot, R-two bumps-line, and I think it looks much better than my full name. It's also much quicker to write.<br /><br />My LCS doesn't pack out boxes much anymore, and I'm not a frequent enough shopper there to ask the owner to open a new box so I can buy a pack or two. It's one of the many reasons I don't go into my LCS more than once every year or two.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964906674812425407.post-44161416482302765482018-01-09T10:21:16.463-08:002018-01-09T10:21:16.463-08:00Nice Adell, he's gotten a lot of hobby hype in...Nice Adell, he's gotten a lot of hobby hype in recent times. Mainly due to rumors (that may or may not be true?) that his BoChro autograph in Bowman Draft is a shortprint.Zippy Zappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695389359056056119noreply@blogger.com
