Trade with Noooooooooomo!

I recently completed my third? I think it's the third trade, anyways we did a trade! Check out his awesome blog.. Nomo! I sent him some stuff I think he would like and he sent me stuff that I do like! It was one of those hey want to trade kind of trades that are fun to do.

Check em out!

Some good stuff above! Baseball Heroes Chase, Howard and J Roll! I really like the World Series Cards. Gotta cheer for a guy like Chris Coste who made the majors past the age of 30 and is able to get a ring. That's perseverance.  A shiny Howard in the middle. And as all of us collectors of anything out there know... Shiny = good.


A vintage Lefty! And an auto of Ken Howell! Never thought I would ever own a auto of Ken Howell but I am delighted that I do!

 The hottest bat in the league Dom Brown (FIVE home runs this week!) who knew he had that in him! Two cards of the forgotten rookie Darin Ruf. It's odd he killed it last year in September and now he can't even get a call up. They called up Michael Martinez instead of him.. I don't get it. If you can't hit, bring up a hitter! I like Gavin Floyd's hair, wishing him well on his elbow recovery. I always wish he panned out in Philly and I do cheer for him to do well on the White Sox.

Thanks for the trade and Thanks for reading!

A True One of One That's Patchtastic #3

Just a quick one tonight. I received another sweet 1 of 1 for my growing Ryan Howard Collection. Love the patches they used on the Triple Threads cards!

Check it out!
I tried for another Ruby Parallel patch card but someone sniped me at the end (and paid more then 20 dollars more for that one then this one)! It displays well and I like it.. 2 things that are great about collecting, looking at cool cards and liking them!

Anyway, if you wanna trade look at the previous post or my trade bait! And thanks to the people who already responded!

An Awesome Bowman Pack!

I liked the look of this years Bowman and enjoyed opening the first blaster, so I bought 2 more from Target. I will say these have been pretty good. Got a Carlos Correa Purple refractor in one pack..

Then there was this pack.. all 3 in the same pack!

Three Blue Refractors in one pack, including an auto! If you can't read the foil board, Prince Fielder, Carson Kelly auto and Dilson Herrera! That's the first time I've ever had so many numbered cards in one pack! At first I thought I bought these from Wal Mart and they were just the Blue Parallels. I was pleasantly surprised when I was completely wrong!

Did everyone see that the release dates were pushed back on a bunch of products? Kinda bummed Chrome isn't coming out until late September. It's my favorite product to open every year, guess I will have to wait even longer then usual.

Thanks for reading!

A Trade and a PWE!

I recently completed a trade with Fantastic Catch! I saw he needed a Matt Adams auto and had a Ryan Howard relic.. so naturally we traded!

Check it out!
I like the cut out of the relic and the other 2 cards as throw in's are appreciated. I recently (as in today) started sorting my random piles of cards. The current method is sort everything into teams so it will make trading that much easier! I won't be breaking any sets but I have tons of chrome doubles from my cases and random stuff laying around that I will never complete (nor want to).

These next cards were from Underdog Card Collector! He got some Phillies cards thought of me and sent them over! We've traded a couple times and each time has been great. I have a few cards picked out to send back in the next week or so!

Thanks! I didn't buy a single pack of Heritage or Gypsy Queen and I'm pretty sure I have the team sets!

Bowman Break!

I recently went to the retail store to bust some random packs. Had no real agenda but it had been a while since I busted any packs. Picked up a blaster of 2013 bowman.. destroyed the odds!

A Gold and Purple refractor! The gold is numbered out of 50 and is a 1 in 600 pack retail pull! Not the best player in the world but hey I was happy to see the shiny! The Morneau is from 2008 UD Spectrum and the Lowell is from a 2008 Upper Deck Heroes pack. I like the color in that set too always seem to get something. I would consider buying a box of it just for the fun.


The one per pack golds are ok. I would trade any of these for the Phillies ones if anyone has them. A good mix of teams at least. Jeter looks angry!

The flag card is pretty cool. Only hit one Philly of bowman chrome prospects (I think there are 2) so actually 8 packs one Phillies player YES! The card on the top left is a mini refractor. Not sure how I feel about mini's in bowman, I feel like those are reserved for GQ and A&G.

Thanks for reading and if you want to trade leave a note!
