Yu know it!


Well after a long wait, Yu can say we got some redemption! We finally got our 2012 Bowman Chrome Yu Darvish Rookie Purple Refractor Autograph 01/10, and boy was it worth the wait. This thing is a beauty, on card, clean, centered, and ready for the right buyer. Not sure what the future holds for this card but this Friday, Beckett will get a look at this one, and maybe Yu will finally see some perfection.

The Bux Stops Here!

 



On Friday night at the Ballpark, Mark and I decided to treat ourselves to a couple of jumbo boxes of 2013 Bowman Baseball. 12 Packs of the future of baseball with 3 Autos and plenty of prospects and parallels. My box had some bonus action in it, yielding a Jesse Winker AFLCA Perfect Game On Card Auto /225, a Matt Olson Chrome Rookie On Card Auto, a Jayson Aquino Chrome Blue Refractor On Card Auto /150, and the gem, a Byron Buxton Chrome Rookie Auto. Whenever you get an auto of the guy on the box, it can't be a bad thing. All these cards and more are available in our store, check them out, and thanks for stopping by.

Predicting the Future


On Saturday, we spent the entire day at the ballpark, and thankfully the weather let us get through it dry. After a week of torrential rains dumping almost 6 inches on the city, it turned out to be a beautiful day and a "golden" day. While we sweated it out at the park, my wife and friends checked out some other cards, Tarot Cards, for a reading. Now I'm not a big fan of fortune telling, palm reading, or horoscopes but my wife tends to like that sort of thing. He gave her some helpful hints on her future and something's were on point, with others being hopefully totally way off, including a possible house fire or something of that sort. I did a little of my own predicting, and boy was I right on the money. We had five packs of 2012 Panini Prizm baseball left in the box at the end of the day. I asked Mark if he wanted to pop them, he declined. I told him that there was a gold card left in that box, he still declined. I even went as far as telling him, that it was in the third pack, that I didn't even need all five packs.  Guess what showed up in pack three? Yep, a gold card. More specifically a Nelson Cruz Texas Rangers 05/10 Gold Card. Just Sick. For my next trick, I will be turning that card into cash!
