With the years and years and years of appeals and lawyers and appeals and lawyers, it is actually cheaper to have a person in jail for life rather than being executed.
I got to pitch my knuckleball in the Bakersfield Blaze stadium back in high school. All I remember is I know one of my knuckleballs got crushed all the way to the wall and another one made the final batter of the inning look ridiculous. Yeah, only one inning.
I sent in a bunch of GU/AU cards I didn't want to Blowout and got a gift certificate for $106.75. I bought 3 boxes of draft with the certificate, so I am only really out $82 before the break.
As you read below, don't cry for me--I'll use a lot of the cards for IP autographing.
First off, I...
My order just arrived in Vernon, CA. Looks like it spent 4 days on a truck between leaving Maryland and arriving in California. No worries--looking forward to opening my 3 boxes tomorrow sometime. Wish me luck. A friend of mine has already pulled a few nice cards.
Here is the info I have so far:

Hi folks,
I bought 3 boxes of Draft from Blowout as a pre-sell. I used a gift certificate from sending in GU/AU cards. I received a tracking number with an expected delivery date of 12/20 (I received that tracking number on the 14th). I have been checking the tracking number just to see the...
I usually don't attract chrome buyers in the first place, but since I am getting 3 boxes of draft I was sure to add this person to the blocked bidder list. Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for the comments, folks. As for the wood mini, it's pretty easy. I just cut the plastic window with an exacto knife. There is now no plastic over the window. I originally tried to peel the plastic covering off the frame, but I ruined one frame doing that--it's glued so it tore. Anyway, I...
Hey everyone,
I made the decision to only keep all of my 2002-2003 Khalil Greene cards, and stop collecting anything after 2003. Still, I have decided to make a few exceptions. Seeing as how I'm a little bored this morning, I thought I would share the post 2003 Khalil Greene cards that will stay...
Not sure how rare the red ink version is. It is at most limited to 25--although based on how many I've seen on eBay since 2004, I am tempted to say they are limited to 10 (I think Beckett might state 25, but they rarely show up online).
As I whined in previous posts, my home was robbed over the summer and many/most of my PSA/DNA autographed RCs (that I got signed in person) were stolen. They are long gone. My renter's insurance paid for the computer that was stolen and I ended up with a little cash to help rebuild that part of...
Re: Pablo Sandoval Tracker
I thought I read reports during last off season that said he had done a lot of good work with his weight--and then his numbers were down this season.
Just pre-ordered 3 boxes of Draft for $82.10!
I sent in (to Blowout) a bunch of the Khalil Greene GU cards that I'm no longer collecting (most of his post-2003 stuff) and ended up with a $106 gift certificate from them. I could have just got 2 boxes for a total of $20 out of my Paypal account...
I know that Ripken and Mauer are signing through Ironclad right now. I got Ripken to sign my '82 Topps Traded last year that way. I was considering Mauer, but I might just buy a pack certified auto RC--it would be cheaper.
That's my thing--getting autographed RCs. I get many in person. Not...
