My New Role in the Hobby

[cgilmo]

Greetings.

The National is a fun place where a lot of unexpected things happen. I walked into this one well... unemployed.

My goal was just to have fun and relax while I put the whole resume pushing grind on pause for a couple of days.

These things have a way of just working out.

I have entered into a consulting role with Just Collect / Vintage Breaks / RippingWax.com.

This means occasionally you will see content from them here as we cross promote.

My first mini project with them was to attempt to capture on the Just Collect blog the emotions behind a truly great event in the hobby in the opening of a 55 bowman pack that had a Mantle in it.

Here is the article that I pieced together with Leighton Sheldon, the owner of Just Collect.

Very cool. Crazy to think they busted that from a graded pack. Look forward to more articles

I’m doing much more than writing. Lots of work to be done.

Lol no

I am working with them to expand into other mediums. Perhaps replicate vintage breaks to vintage magic the gathering.

I will be breaking for VB some as they have a considerable back log.
