Can I Open Just One Pack?

I went to work a little bit early today to make sure I could purchase 2 things. One was the prize for the trivia, and the other was a Christmas gift from my unsuspecting uncle.

My uncle gave me a $50 bill and told me I had to buy something that came in a box and could be wrapped with a bow, meaning I couldn't use it to go out or drink 20 cups of coffee at Starbucks. He probably won't be surprised or happy about what I picked, but it's my gift. I grabbed a hobby box of 2008 UD Timeline (despite me wanting to kick their customer service team in the teeth), and am hopeful I got something decent under those wrappers.

While grabbing Steve's prize, I thought why not grab some snow day fun and get a few for myself. (Idiot.) I am trying very hard not to open one, but I am pretty sure I won't make it to the end of this blog without cracking it.

Is anyone else's family sick of buying them baseball cards for Christmas or is it just mine?


Ohhh--- Sneak preview, starting the 19th (today), all retired players autos in BC Sports are 40% off, and NFL Authentic jersey are 50% off as well as all holiday merchandise.

Oooouuchhhhh.... stop twisting my arm to open one pack, I'm goin, I'm goin.

OK, I got a Yankee Stadium Legacy card, and the rest of the pack was air. The gold card was Miguel Cabrera. No Yankees, no Pujols = AIR.

I wish I could get excited about cards in this set, but I just really don't care. They are decent looking cards, but I just want to get rid of most of them. I have lots of Cubbies if anyone collects them out there.

White Sox Cards Wins Pack Give Away!

I didn't think the question was all that easy, however Sooz would beg to differ. White Sox Cards was the first correct answer today, and won a free pack of 2008 UD Documentary to be sent out ASAP.

I'm too sleepy right now to try and string sentences together, but I am eagerly awaiting a trade with Dave from the Fielder's Choice blog as well as Cards in The Attic aka Aardvark Trading Co. Sent out their packages yesterday (I think it was yesterday), and am hoping to see my stuff Saturday or Monday.

I haven't been to my mailbox in days, I got one of those Keurig one cup coffee makers and haven't needed to go buy coffee near the post office since. I have also changed my blood type to Green Mountain as a result. Look for some caffeine induced random blogs on days where I didn't work.

Back tomorrow after work probably with some ridiculous waste of money story.

Sale on Cards at BC Sports and Trivia Contest

Just to let anyone who lives near a BC Sports store know that the whole store is on sale. All cards are 20% off, Jerseys 20% off, signed stuff is 20% off also.

The other stuff is a greater discount for the most part, like holiday stuff, mugs, glasses, etc.

I plan on buying something useless at some point.

Speaking of useless, here is a trivia question that I like to get people with:

Where was Pee Wee Herman's bike supposed to be when they stole it in the movie?


First correct answer gets a free 2008 pack of UD Documentary.


(Offer excludes Sooz who thought she could win.)
