I bought a blaster of ‘09 Bowman today and pulled this beauty of a card. I’ve seen Cuetos auto before, I think it was the ‘08 Topps set. I was hoping that maybe he didn’t understand that they would use this particular signature on the front of his card, but here it is again. I [...]

Today was very interesting. This morning I thought my wheelchair might be a Transformer because it was making all kinds of noises, but that wasn’t the case.

Once upon a time during my 10-year hiatus from collecting I took up Transformers. I began collecting the 80’s toys, along with the DVDs that had been recently released. Considering no one I knew collected Transformers, I began looking on line for a forum where I could discuss my hobby with others.
