Today I have the house to myself well, except for Bruizer, but he is just sleeping here beside me. My plan is to get a bunch of baseball card sorting done and get some scans done for blog posts. I have several stacks of 2010 Topps Baseball that I wanted to get put away first but I needed to rip open the Blaster I bought at Walmart first. I am kind of anxious to get another Topps Million out of there and of course see which Black Parallels were in there.
