Its been a great run, but is our breaking group over?
If so, @All In Cards , thank you for all you did. My collection, but not my bank account, thank you.
Does anyone have a breaker they recommend? I know it is a little like asking for your favorite fish spot, but I haven't used anyone but...
I opened two boxes of jumbo update with my daughter (my kids are always luckier than I am).
You know the story...nothing, nothing, nothing, then boom.
In the last pack... It is /25. First Ichiro auto I have ever pulled (or owned). Very happy with it.
NFS/NFT
Broke 2 boxes of Heritage HN yesterday.
Got all the rookies you would expect, pretty weak parallels, a base Hosmer relic and then this...
I haven't looked for variations yet. But, yeah, that'll do.
Fair warning - this is a long post.
My wife called me earlier today and told me that our oldest, now a freshman at James Madison University, needed a thumb drive for his computer. Being sensible, I suggested he go buy one. "No" she said, "grab one of your old ones and give it to him when we see...
It makes sense, but I did not expect it and don't like it...

So, I noticed it was taking a while to get my latest cards from All In Cards No big deal, sorting is a PITA and I figured he was working on it.
Turns out, the delay was certainly not with Andrew.
The cards showed up the other day and the address line looked like this:
I guess I am impressed...
Just a little PSA for the board...I know a lot of us buy from him from time to time.
Chris is shutting down on Dec-22 for a while and moving to a new location. He plans to re-open and will email his distribution list when he does.
By now, you all have seen this picture.
As a Red Sox fan, I am bummed that Judge robbed Lindor of this (likely game winning) home run.
But, I may hate Zack Hample more than I hate the Yankees, and he also stopped Zack from getting the ball!
I guess I will just have to accept that it was...
I know he is on the DL and out for the season right now, but does he have a future? His stats look good in the limited sample but I don't know anything about him.
Asking b/c I pulled 3 of his chrome autos today (out of 2 boxes). One of them /20.
Ugh.
When Dombrowski traded for Reed I thought to myself that I had some of his autos laying around...turns out I was right!
Hope he crushes it in Boston so I can move these...
I get it. Nobody liked Machado's slide into Pedroia last week. It was late and dangerous, but I don't think anyone thinks he was really trying to hurt him (break up the DP, sure, but not hurt him).
Now, 3 different Sox pitchers have thrown at him. None actually hitting him, but 3 balls at his...
I have to admit I was laughing at this one...

Nice piece here on Javier.
One of the most quiet 4 time world series champions around.

Really nice piece here on guys that had interesting careers but are falling off the ballot.

Good question, glad you asked.
I will get back to them after Thanksgiving. Work and family have demanded too much time over the past few weeks and I had to set them aside.
I will go back through the submissions and see what I need to get them back up and running.
Stay tuned and be ready to...
I was so saddened by the news from Miami, but I didn't really know how to express it. From Jose back to Roberto (and probably beyond) so many young men left this world too soon.
What do you think of a (very respectful, obviously) "Taken too soon" tournament. I know have a few cards I can show...
