2009 Topps Chrome Part 2

This post is in honor of my triumphant Rose Bowl win. Well, not really my win. All I did was sit on my couch and hope like hell that the Buckeyes didn’t get embarrassed again. So I sat there drinking beer and eating junk food and tried to keep my ul…

Sort of…Well, not really “sort of.” They ARE here. Most of them anyway. It’s just that, and I hate to sound ungrateful considering I wasn’t convinced I’d EVER see them, they’re kind of the wrong ones. Not completely. I’m not even sure if they’re…

A while back, Stusigpi over at I Am Joe Collector finagled his way into Blowout Cards offering Topps Chrome at the low low price of $43 a box. It was cheaper than I’d seen it by far, before or since. So I picked up a few boxes. Because I love sparkl…

This is really just a test post.I had the morning off so I decided to see if I could figure out how you nerdy computer people get youtubes and whatnot onto your blogposts straight out of the ether. Then I could download interesting videos and stuff ri…

It was ego really. Just pure ego. I mean really, how did I think I was going to get away with it? Like I was just going to willy nilly Bip people all over the ether with no regard for human life and common decency? Without any consequences? What a…

I stumbled across this picture of Beardy before he grew out his beard. Always an Orioles fan, you can see that he’s all decked out for the game.Looking Good Beardy!OK, that’s not Beardy, nor is it anyone in his family (I don’t think). I wish like hel…

Inspired by Beardy, I’ve decided to dust off the old photoshop skills to enter the National Chicle Parody Card Contest over at Stale Gum (It’s this whole other blog).Without any rational explanation, “Chicle” is actually the name of a baseball card set…

Oh Captain My Captain is having a contest or something. The rules are pretty vague and hard to follow. It’s something to do with football, picking the winner to the playoffs or something. Since he pretty much called me out I had to oblige and answer…

The Rose Bowl is over. The Buckeyes won. Elation (and a huge sigh of relief) washes over the entire Buckeyes fan base. And Stusigpi owes me a box of cards. Good times abound in Cleveland.In my last post I (without his prior knowledge) forced Stus…

Well, it’s a new year. My plans last year for a post a day have failed miserably. I enter this year with a new resolve not to fall so drastically short of my goals. This year my goal is a post a month. I feel like there is a good chance I can meet,…

Just recently I got a nice package in the mail from Night Owl. It contained all manner of cool Tribe cards. About 2 weeks after I got it I emailed him to thank him. I honestly couldn’t remember if I’d even thanked him yet. I promised that I would g…

OK, so it looks like my euphoria over getting 2 relics and an auto was misguided, as Beardy pulled a second relic to go with his auto as well. I could have sworn I only got 2 relics in my other box. Oh well, that’s OK.You might also have noticed that…

Well, Beardy has ripped his first Turks and has been found wanting. I take a 3-1 lead in the Turk Off 2. However, I know better than to let up. I’m sure he has something up his sleeve. The worst thing I could do at this point is underestimate him.I…
