My Favorite Bryce Harper Card

That's if you don't include this sick auto Dikran and I pulled of Bryce last year. 

We happened to find Heritage yesterday and bought ourselves a blaster box, as well as a box for the contest which ends later today. 

This was the pull of the box, and is instantly my favorite Bryce Harper card. 

This bad boy is #'d 625/999. The scan did not come out as well as I would have liked, but I'm sure many of you have seen this card posted somewhere else before. I honestly don't know why this is my new favorite Harper card, but it just has that "x-factor". Maybe it's the hair....


This card, on the other hand, is cool, but doesn't touch the Heritage Chrome above. I enjoy seeing a card that shows a player both batting, as well as throwing from the outfield. Too bad there is no licensing on the product.

Running Behind

I have been incredibly busy over the past week or so and it has left me wayyy behind. Now that I have added the gym back into my daily routine, I am having even less time to get stuff done. I know that quite a few people emailed me about the trade bait, and I will get back to you by Monday. As far as trade packages go, I am behind as well. I have stuff piled up ready to go, but they need to be placed into bubble mailers and shipped. Again, that will probably be done by Monday. 

Because my scanner is covered in cards, I am digging into my scans folder to find something to post about.


And here it is. I enjoy these inserts from 2014 Heritage, and the Kershaw is the first Dodger I have from the series. Dikran and I have picked up a few packs of Heritage, but we are still looking for a blaster box. We will be looking once again this afternoon, so hopefully we are lucky enough to walk home with some goodies for ourselves, and a box for the contest I am running. 

I will hopefully be back tomorrow with the results for the contest that ended on Monday, as I know quite a few of you are patiently waiting. Hopefully, I can knock out some trade posts this weekend and show off some new cards. Thanks for being patient with me!

Twitter Contest Winnings from MLB RBI

Those of you that have Twitter accounts know that MLB and its affiliates regularly host contests which you can enter by retweeting. It is not often that you hear about the winners of those contests. However, today you will as I will be showing off my winnings from a contest held by MLB RBI. 




I was honestly hoping I would be walking away with a box of Topps cards, but I ended up walking away with an autographed baseball. That auto belongs to Anaheim Angles pitcher, C.J Wilson. 

I am not the biggest Wilson fan, nor am I an Angels fan. Therefore, this ball does not hold any real value to me. I will probably post it on eBay and try to flip it for a Kemp auto before the prices get too high. If there is anybody out there that would like to trade for this, just let me know. I am strictly looking to get a Kemp or Kershaw auto, though other interesting offers will not be denied. 

I probably won't be winning any major contests like this again, so I guess I should be proud of myself. Even though the prize is not something that I consider super valuable, I am lucky to have won. 

----------------------------

I have been extremely busy lately and haven't been able to get back to some of those who have contacted me about my trade bait. Chances are I saw your message or email, but haven't had the time to actually open it and read it. I will be getting to all of the trades this week.

----------------------------

I also haven't had time to randomize the contest winners. I am planning on doing it tomorrow night, but my work hours changed and I am not getting home until about 10pm every night now. If it doesn't get done tomorrow, expect the results to pop up sometime this weekend.

Return of the Bison

*EDIT: I wrote this post before his two homer game yesterday. All I can say is WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!*

Matt Kemp has finally returned to the Dodgers lineup, a sight I have been waiting for for quite some time. I hope he can get back to his 2011 ways, but I am realistic and know he won't. A 25 homer season with a .280 average seems attainable though. If he does hit the cover off the ball then the price of his cards will probably shoot back up again, so I figured I better get my hands on some more now.



This card is f****ing awesome. I absoulutely loved the base card and this purple refractor took it to another level. If they produced this bad boy in a blue refractor, I'd be sure to find it faster than Garfield finds lasagna. It isn't numbered, but it is still a great card to add to my ever-growing Matt Kemp PC which now sits at 124 cards.
