What's better than free bobblehead giveaway night?

The answer to me...not much.  I ventured out to Joe Davis Stadium this past Saturday evening to get in on the bobble madness.  The laughing and cringing that came from watching the three year olds rip the heads off their brand new bobblers was well worth the 8 buck cover.  The honoree was Stars Manager and MLB ALUM Darnell Coles.  The bobble had a few issues but it's complete and mine! My only regret of the night was not pulling the trigger on a couple of cracked bats in the team store.  One was former MLB'er Jason Jaramillo.

Before we made it out to the game I met with a buddy that's selling some baseball stuff that he's accumulated through the years.  I didn't know anything about Stan Hack and I'm also not named Richard.  But I couldn't pass this piece up!

Who takes the next three seats at the table??  Top three are in:

Only 8 Spots remain.  Who will snag those last eight seats at the prize winning table?  Join today if you want one of the final 8.

Some retail therapy plus some housekeeping!

The latest opportunity in my sweepstakes opportunity is still available but not for much longer!

I'm also looking for a trader for my 73 Topps castaway. Please take it off my hands!

Now onto something else.  I found my self in Wally World today and had a weak moment.  Turned out to be a pretty decent weak moment!


Bought a Hanging 100 Card Repack and got this beauty!

Also found a discounted blaster and couldn't resist.

Pretty much what you would expect, but I did get a neat rookie

                                 Also managed to snag a hit!

I've been resisting 2013 Bowman for a while, just couldn't get into Puig Mania but decided to take a chance on one of the three pack deals. Did manage to pull a silver ice-I think that's what you call them anyway?

Also managed to pull this mini refractor.  Not too bad huh?

Paper Clip Time

I acquired this card on a hunch but it doesn't fit for me.  It was part of a Heritage Redemption pack and I succumbed to being in the moment.  Needless to say I took a bath on this one.  Looking to paperclip this one and see how great this card can truly be!  Who will take this miscut 1973 beauty off my hands.  Who will trade me a single card as an upgrade for Mr. Brinkman?!

Patronizing a new shop

A new shop has opened within about 45 minutes of me.  I spent about an hour and about seventy bucks in there today.  It was kind of tough navigating around all of the Magic Players but I want to share some cool goodies I got all from the $1 bin!

 Could any Padre fan use this Golden Gem?

 Picked up any #'d card I could find including football.

 Going into Woody's pile?

 PC Black Gold

 Day Glow! Rangers Collectors?

 Very shiny

 Numbered to a cool 10000

 I remember when these were the BOSS

 Goes to Hot Corner if he wants it

 2 Hall of Famers who were Dominators.  Bossy Sticker

 Gold that I may have a home for

 Which Sox guy wants this one? # to 100

 As I said I bought anything #'d

 You can't tell but that's a Dale Murphy Phillies Hologram

 Bulger with the Saints. I never knew

 I like Chucky Atkins

 I know a Canseco guy that may want this

 Can't pass up vintage, even Hockey

 Night Owl-Do you need a Toy Cannon

 O vintage

 Steroid Project?

 Someone thought this was HTF. Worth a buck to me

 Would have rather had the 88 Rookies Edgar but o well

 When I was 10 I would have gone crazy for getting this one

 A Smoltz rookie!

 Biggio rookie. Yes Please

 Now it gets dicey....A Vern Fleming from 86-86 Fleer

 Had this on the back.

 Now to the dicey part. The owner says these are reprints and by these...

 Someone thought this was legit at one point

 I'm sure it's fake but couldn't take that chance

 Don't think this was supposed to be in the Dollar Bin

 Now here is where I spent some cash

 $35 to be exact

 But not for a Reggie Ball

 Sweet bag

 It's certified

And shaky Auto or not...It's all mine!

I will definitely be back to the shop as they are only partially set up.  Opportunity for my sweepstakes comes off the table this evening.
