I got bit by a $30 a week habit...

Robert, over at  $30 a Week Habit, emailed me last week and generously offered some cards from my 2010 want lists, knocking a rather large part of those lists down for me:

Robert also traded me a recently received relic for this little beauty too!!

 

My first Victorino Relic, TOO COOL!

Thanks for the more than generous help, Robert. I'll keep my eyes open for something to shoot back your way again soon.

Thanks for peeking,

Have a GReat Sunday!!

2010 Upper Deck Series 1...

well, 18 cards per pack for $1.59 can't be but so wrong:

 

couple Indians, couple Twins, and Freak and a Yankmee, not too shabby...

Can't go wrong with adding a few more cards to the PC. and I just love those ballpark cards. If anybody needs some of these, just let me know, we can work something out, I'm sure.

Thanks for peeking,
Have a GReat day!

3 seperate Updates...

3 Updates for a second posting today:

An update to the Updates, another rack pack of 2011 Updates: (on a side note, I am collecting this base set, and attempting the minis, but any non-team PC specific extras and bedazzled parallels are available for trade)

Nothing special from the code card, but I did get my second short print of 2011, a Montreal Expos Larry Walker, card #195.

 

Still no Phillies, their absence was also felt last night!

Congratulations to the Cardinals, I've said all year, the best pitching staff in baseball doesn't mean SQUAT if you can't hit the $%#$^ BALL!

I probably won't be watching this year's series now. I'm obviously disappointed with the outcome of last night's game (once again, the best regular season team is eliminated from the play-offs!), I'd like to root for the Brewers, but I just can't bring myself to root for Nyger Morgan, I do not like him as a person because of his attitude towards the fans. I could have really gotten behind the D-Backs, but tis not to be this year.

and on a sad note, an update to yesterday's post. My sister's BFF of over 30 years lost her battle with Ovarian Cancer yesterday afternoon. I am relieved that my adopted sister is no longer hurting, but my mother, sister, adopted nieces and their father should not have to face this experience this early in life.

There is indeed another angel in heaven today, gone too soon, and dearly missed by all who knew her. Rest in Peace Cheryl, you fought courageously for the last 10 months, we love you and you will be forever young in our hearts.

A miscellaneous pack post...

So,
I picked up a pack of Americana last week: what did I get?
a few people I've never heard of, some that I have heard of, and a burned out shooting star. I love these Americana cards, even though I am not getting many actors that I know, or like!!

Lorna Luft, who's biggest credit seems to be her mother, legendary Judy Garland. Though I vaguely remember maybe seeing Luft in Trapper John, M.D.

Jill-Michelle Melean, who's biggest roles are in stuff I've never wanted to watch. Damn, she looks so familiar though???
Then, as I am cleaning up my cards and filing them away, I find this:

No wonder she looks so familiar, this one is from 2009, is a much more flattering photo, and has an almost identical write-up on the back! Now, I've only bought about 4 of these packs altogether, to get the same person from two different years! Go figure!

Then, we have Fred:

No, not you Fred. This Fred...

Fred Gregory, Spankee (of My Cardboard Mistress), would know this Fred, as he's been on several space shuttle missions, including piloting Challenger before her demise. And as commander on Discovery and Atlantis. I love the shuttles and was very sad at their retirement.

OK, which Baldwin am I?? There are just way too many of you guys to keep straight. Today, we have Stephen. I know him best from his role in 1996's Fled. And I do have to admit, just like Sara Palin, Stephen is my favorite Baldwin brother.

and lastly, what do you do when you hit the big time, with a hugely successful blockbuster hit to your credit? You either continue to be a bright shining star, or in the case of the other Corey, you hit the skids, ending up succumbing to your demons. I liked Corey Haim, he was a damned fine actor that just didn't seem to know how to handle his fame. Like so many others, those that often burn brightest, also burn shortest.

Thanks for reading,
have a GReat weekend!!
