Once again, its time to rant about Panini's redemptions. I've had Panini redemptions that have been outstanding for as much as 10 years. In July, I received 5 e-mails telling me that my redemptions had been replaced with 150 points each. One of the redemptions was for a Phil Esposito/Ray...

I decided to participate in the Blowout cards NFL Player promo. If you buy a box of of the Blowout Cards Mega Mix box for $300, you get an offensive position from a specific team, and depending how an individual player from that position does, you can win giftcards. Here's what I received: 1...

I just wanted to take the opportunity to reintroduce myself. I was very active on TCC, and still participate in the regular hockey break. I'm probably a little older than most member on the site (turn 65 this month), but I've always enjoyed busting wax and buying and selling one eBay...

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have automatically renewed our league for the 2019 season. I hope that everyone is still interested in participating. If, for some reason, you don't want to participate this year, please let me know. Good luck all!

Today is exactly one month before the NFL Draft. Traditionally, Yahoo opens the registration for Fantasy Football Leagues on Draft Day. The past 2 years, we have had 2 TCZ leagues, and my plan is to have the same again this year. Last year, a few members were registered (automatically) but did...

As has been customary the past few years, Yahoo has opened up their Fantasy Football leagues for renewal for the 2017 season on Draft Day. I have renewed both leagues from last season and that automatically signs up all of last season's participants. I hope everyone will return, but if you...

I can't believe it's that time of year again! Yahoo has just notified me that the leagues are open for this upcoming season. I will be sending our renewal notices to everyone who participated last season. This does not mean you are obligated to renew, it just gives you first crack if you'd like...

Last year, we had 2 fantasy Football leagues for members of the the TCZ site. Those who participated seemed to have a good time, so I have renewed the leagues for 2015. Invitations were sent out to all of last year's participants, giving them first crack at joining this year. Most have done so...

Went to my last card show in Illinois today, as the move down south is scheduled for 5 weeks from today. I made my rounds, saying goodbye to the dealers I have bought from in the past 9 years. I decided to buy a few football packs, 5 in total. I have to admit, I did quite well. I bought one...

As you may be aware, I retired last year (a little earlier than planned, but at a good time nonetheless). She Who Must Be Obeyed and I have spent the past year deciding where we want to retire to, and have decided on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We have purchased a house, and will move as soon as...

Here we are on the opening night of the NFL Draft, and Yahoo has already opened up the Fantasy Football leagues for this coming season! (They used to do it in late July!) I have sent out a mass invitation to all those who participated in last year's 2 leagues to see if they want to rejoin. I...

A friend was ordering some stuff from D&A, and asked me if I wanted to piggy-back on his free shipping. I figured the time and price was right for another Panini Classics box ($55). I like the product, but it does make me nervous at times (like with this one) My autos: Darryl Sydor (Stars)...

As a long-time Patriots fan, I have decided to begin a new PC. There have been a total of 185 different players who have been on the roster of at least one of the 4 Patriots Super Bowl championship teams. I am attempting to get a certified autograph or memorabilia card from every player. It...

I have ordered some product from Dave & Adams, which is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday. When it gets here, I plan to bust it "old school" (pack by pack) in this thread. I have the following incoming: 2012/13 Panini Certified 8 Box case 2013/14 In the Game Between the Pipes Hobby Box 2012/13...

I was in a group break on CnC last weekend, and was lucky enough to receive the "unassigned" cards (meaning those from junior or international players not yet on NHL rosters) One of the cards was of Connor McDavid, who is expected to go # 1 overall in next year's draft, and is considered to be...

I have registered a NFL Fantasy Football league on Yahoo Sports for TCZ members. The league name is "TCZ Fantasy Football" and the link to join is as follows: http://y.ahoo.it/fTsb2aYA The 2nd league, because the first league is full, is here: http://y.ahoo.it/ei3ofhw9 I have set up a 12 team...

I am just trying to see if there is any interest in participating in a TCZ Fantasy Football league. I would be willing to set one up and act as the commissioner. It could either be one with prizes, where each member contributes a card and the champion and runners-up can chose from the cards...

This afternoon, Clouts'n'Chara had a special visit to their store in Kitchener, Ontario. Phil Pritchard of the NHL showed up unannounced with the Stanley Cup!!! How cool is that? As part of the celebration, they held a quick 12-13 Cup case break, with the Stanley Cup actually on the table...
