    Uh oh, it's a fire sale

    So unexpected expenses are a pain in the butt. They lead to unfortunate incidents such as putting your entire collection up for sale. :thumbdn: That said, feel free to look through my bucket and if anything interests you, make an offer. This sadly includes my PC folders so feel free to...

    WOOOOOOO

    Can't wait to show some pics but I decided to hop into the LCB 2011 Triple Threads case break this morning (football). Brad Ziegler was breaking and it was a random team break so I figured why not. Ended up with the Bengals and boy did I hit well. I think I ended up with 2 A.J. Green autos, one...

    XianSPL's Twitter Contest poll

    Okay so I can't add a poll to an existing thread so here we go. Thanks to everyone who entered. I've decided since you were all so active in helping get the word out about the contest, everyone who entered with a story as of the time of this post will get something. You guys rock. I was...

    Christian's Mail Days

    So I'll keep all of my mail days in one thread from now on, starting with today. Bought into an Inception case break on LCB last week and only ended up with a Fitzgerald base and a Beanie Wells base. No use scanning those. You've all seen them before. :) But today was an exciting mail...

    New YouTube stuff

    Hey guys, just wanted to drop a note that I finally started recording some things for YouTube. If you use YT a lot, I'd appreciate a subscribe. Only video on there now is for a mail day I got today but I think I'm going to do another one of just past mail days and some cards I own. Anyway...

    Educate me

    So I see people, super collectors, with things in their sigs saying 196/2523, etc, etc. How are they coming up with a list of all of the available cards for a particular player? I mean, is it as simple as doing a search for a players name in the Beckett online guide and seeing how many results...

    XianSPL's Twitter contest

    Kinda cool ... for me anyway

    So I wrote this blog entry last week, reminiscing about the one card I've sold for the most money in my life. It's a card that isn't worth much at all today. In that blog entry, I stated that I found one online for $5 and left it at that. Well tonight, I decided to see if I could find it again...

    First Look: 2012 Topps Chrome

    So it's not being released until later this week but I just so happened to come across a couple blaster boxes that made it to the shelves of my local grocery store a little early. I'll be ripping them now and I'll update the post with some scans, assuming I can get my scanner to work. :)

    XianSPL's eBay thread

    So instead of making a new thread each time I want to promote my eBay sales (something I know management frowns upon), I figured I'd make one thread and just update it as I go. Currently, only one card on eBay ... 2012 Heritage Joey Votto Color Swap SP (including base card for comparison)

    I actually won a contest!

    I never win stuff so this was quite the surprise and a great contest to win too! I want to give a shout out to Varsity Collectibles. They ran a Twitter contest to win a Taylor Jungmann autographed baseball and I won! Super cool to me when I DM'ed them, even encouraging me to enter the new...

    Good mail day

    Hey all, got some stuff in the mail today. Got my stack from our TCZ football break. Mike, thanks for the extra GU. That was a nice surprise. That package had four additions to my Larry Fitzgerald PC. Got mail from LCB today from an Inception break I did last week. Nothing great; a Fitz...

    2012 Topps Football - 2 blaster boxes

    So not many pictures since my scanner is busted and I'm too tired to attempt to fix it at the moment. I went to the laundromat to do some laundry and the grocery is right next door so I figured I'd pick up a couple blaster boxes of 2012 Topps Football. Each blaster comes with a captain's patch...

    Fake or not fake

    So I just got a card from eBay that came in the mail today. 1964 Topps baseball card. The guy/shop I bought it from has 100% satisfaction on the Bay so I'm not too concerned about them trying to cheat anyone but ... the card seems very flimsy, almost like it was printed on some kind of thick...

    The Blog Thread

    Hey guys. So I've subscribed to several blogs about card collecting and that made me realize I wanted to make one too. It'll give me something to neglect from time to time. That said, I'm curious if you guys have blogs and, if so, I figured we could make a thread with links to all of them so we...

    Been so busy, I forgot to show you guys!

    So bradkcincy got me interested in these letter cards with his project. Now he did it (or is doing it) the right way ... putting it together. I admittedly took a shortcut and found a set already put together. You regulars remember my post about "do you ever feel bad" about winning an auction for...

    Member list

    Is there a way to view the member list? Sometimes i just want to browse the members, check out their buckets, etc but I can't find a list and it's a pain to just open numerous threads, clicking on names and never knowing who I'm missing. I know vB has the option but I can't find the list anywhere.

    Sandy Koufax

    I'm re-evaluating my PC and I noticed that everyone on it is just a recent player on one of my home teams. I kind of wanted to branch out just for the fun of it and see if I could get into collecting someone else, but who? I've always been a fan of Koufax stories but the idea of collecting him...

    Been MIA but here's today's haul

    So I've been MIA lately. Getting adjusted to the two job deal. I think it's finally starting to fall into place though. I don't like being away. :) Anyway, stopped at my LCS on the way home from work and picked up a couple boxes of inception as well as a box of bowman platinum. I'm starting...

    Kinda went crazy today ... here's my haul

    So today was the first time I got a big paycheck since I moved from Phoenix to Seattle and even though it wasn't the most responsible thing to do, I decided to go a little crazy. I bought a couple blaster packs of Prestige as well as two boxes of Inception and a box of Topps Pro Debut (all...
