Scanner-rific

So I broke down and bought a scanner this weekend whilest picking up a wireless mouse/keyboard for some tv/pc from the couch action. Gotta love it. Now if only I had Alec show me how to get the pics named and then online into my 'bucket. I think I'll try to play with it a bit and see how much damage I can do. Stay tuned

Now you've done it

So I was out and about do things on Saturday when I realized I needed a box to put all of the junkwax I was busting. A hum and a haw later and I picked up some 2011 Topps series one and some 2010 Bowman Prospects and Draft Picks. Wow. All I can say is wow. The Topps base set is great looking, in my eyes, with an absolute ton of parallels and the BDPP is a continuation of the '10 Bowman line. I have to give the Topps two thumbs up and the Bowman gets one up and one down even after I pulled a red refractor of Addison Reed.

Forgot about Andy

I can't believe I forgot to post about Andy Pettite's retiring from baseball. A truly great guy and a standup fella. Good luck to you wherever you go Andy..... you will be missed.

Updates

My buddy is coming down next weekend and I'm hoping to have him help me update the blog a bit. Maybe a little spring cleaning is in the works

Getting the itch

So I am putting up "the good fight" with regards to buying cards, but with the Topps series 1 looking nice and with the 2011 Bowman due out soon, I dunno how much longer I can control the beast. In the last couple days I have had to turn off the computer to help fight the urge. I have even hesitated going to Target and passing by the card display there for fear of the repercussions.

Maybe I'll head to my Dad's and play with my cards to feel better, or will that make things worse?
