My only National was in 1995, St. Louis. Went 3 days--with my wife one day, and friends the other two. Got so many promos and autographs then. St. Louis would be a good place to bring it back to, but I think they like cities that have a team from the big four sports. Hey--Twin Cities!!! [emoji6]...
This is the card I wrote in about. They put in a pretty one. You can tell how I treated this card!

So sometimes it's all about timing and luck. Happened to be checking Target.com for new cards and hit Bowman Mega boxes. I bought 4, issue price $30 ea. (--5% for Target Red card!)
So far I've opened two.
Mega Box inserts: Geraldo Perdomo Aqua #176/225 (1:32)
Futurist Corbin Carroll (1:4)

Topps Moments and Milestones. (I forget the year!) Terrible idea and execution of a set. All cards were numbered, but there were so many versions of each card it really became a pointless exercise. Two Pujols #/10 should have set my world on fire, but the fact that I had cards #/10 of other...
Hey guys, if anyone has extras of the puzzle pieces that would finish the Killebrew puzzle, please let me know! I have extra Hi #s 443, 447, 454 and 490. Thanks!

Can I pick up the Mets in #2 moving forward? Can't find any retail and I refuse to pay the inflated prices at the local shop, so you can get my card money this year! $40 for a blaster? Not from me!

Time for some fun oddballs...
2005 UNO cards from NL set. Never bought the AL set, but wish I had!
I miss the black background Wal-Mart and old logo Target cards of years past. 2009 Update, 2010 base, 2010 Update.
2007 Fan Pack. Only bought a couple of packs of them, but managed to score two...
Off topic, but how does the Joe Mauer (#622) look? I'd be interested in it.
Over the weekend I should re-scan some of my Pujols favorites. I had a few pics lost from Photobucket and need to do some redos.

These had a small window of availability, and I managed to get in before it closed. They sold hangar boxes as a bundle of three, so I bought three bundles. Less than an hour after I placed my order, I checked again--sold out.
So, the tale of the tape from a nine hangar box rip---
86 Topps...
And I got skunked! Should have went with Cardinals in #2! Padres had a good list of autos as well, but that's the way it goes.

Pretty happy with the pull when you see the checklist. This is my first Rickey auto, so unless one of you desperately needs it, it's a nice addition to the collection.

I won a contest he did on the BMB. It was for a GU hat of his. I correctly identified his first roommate as Estee Harris. I ended up trading the had to a more ardent Yankees fan, but still kinda wish I had it.
Fast forward a few years and he signs with/is traded to (can't remember!) the...
Got an end of the year bonus from work and decided to treat myself a little. Don't think I really got a lot of bang for my buck, but it is always fun to rip a a box and these cards are so nice.
Refractors: Mike Schmidt, Frank Thomas, Manny Machado, Mike Clevenger, Aaron Civale, Joc Pederson...
Always loved anything Dufex. This is one of my favorite cards, but I don't remember who else was in the set.
