My Last Post

Clearly, my last post about Hank Aaron's foolish words was not taken the way I intended it to. 

Therefore, I have deleted it. I apologize - I thought that I conveyed the post in a manner that would not stimulate political debate. I was wrong. 

I get enough political debate during my day job. I don't want it on my blog, unless it's about baseball cards. 

Again, my apologies.

Break Update

First, apologies for being so sparse on here lately. Like everyone, I find myself busy with work then busy watching games, so my blog production has slowed. I just haven't had that "I can't wait to write about this" moment for a while. I'm not giving up blogging, I'm just slowing down. I'm sure that no one will even notice.

Now, for the meat and potatoes part of this post: an update on my break. everyone is paid up and boxes have been ordered. I received a shipping email yesterday that initially said the boxes would get here Wednesday. Now it looks like they will have to wait until Thursday. Click here to see the progress, if you want.

When I do get the boxes, I will be broadcasting the break **LIVE** on my uStream channel that evening starting hopefully at 4 p.m. Central. I will be doing the break in 5 segments (one for each box). This will make the videos smaller and easier to upload to YouTube. However, it might take a day or two for them to show up on the Tube, so be patient.

After each box, we'll take a short break (no more than 5 minutes), which will give me time to post the hits to the blog. So if you don't want to watch the live stream, you can just check the blog for updates.

LAST THING: There have been a few people comment in regards to trades. Please take a moment to review the past comments to see if anyone has a trade you like and let me know if any trades go through.

I think that's it - please let me know if you can think of a better way for me to do this!

It's Been A While...

...since I posted anything. Between work, getting ready for my break (who knew it was so complicated to get a webcam hooked up to uStream and set automatic uploads to YouTube?) and keeping busy in my social life (that's a joke - I've been building a storage shed and gazebo for my grandparents - I don't have a social life), I just haven't had time to do anything blog related.

So, let me share a few cards I have recently picked up via eBay. First up, a new Harper:


This is the 2014 Heritage action photo variation. I got it for $5 and change - a benefit of the the seller creating a listing that ends at roughly 3 a.m. Central time. Ironically, I got this card and pulled a Chrome version before I pulled a base version.

Next up, a couple cards for my Cruz PC.


2013 Bowman Red Ice numbered 17 of 25. It is pretty. I don't really know what else to say about it.

Lastly, a piece for my Cruz Triple Threads Project.


The Emerald tri-player triple relic, numbered 12 of 18. It is in mint condition. I really think it would grade out at 10 if I sent it in. Which will happen soon.

Well, that's it. Sorry I'm not more fun this time.
