quick post

Just a quick post today. This week so far has seen the arrival of the 2002 and 1995 Topps sets. Both at good prices (the 1995 is a pain, and usually runs upwards from $65). I will be doing a review of both soon, possibly this week but work is running me over at nearly 60 hours this week (as much OT as I want and I'm taking it as much as I can) but I did want to do short posts in case I can't get a full one up. One last thing, as of right now there are only three sets not on my shelf in the run from 1986 to 2010 (1998, 2001 and 2009), with the goal to be 1982 to now. 1998 and 2009 are on their way, but the 2001 is the big one and usually goes for $75+. Hence why I still don't have it. I'm watching a few but we'll see how those go.


PS- Colbey over at Cardboard Collections is having a group break. Join in the fun! He has a couple of cool boxes to bust and share with us, so it should be amusing. I know I'm in!

topps' millions

Does anyone still get on the Topps Million deal? It seems like no one really cares about it anymore. Or even mentions it. I'm not sure how popular it is (or was), but I know I redeemed all my codes. I'm in the same boat as everyone, in that I didn't get anything great. I did manage however, to trade my way into getting at least one card of every year from 1956 to 2009. A difficult feat indeed, seeing as how no one wants to give up cards that are older than 1976. I unlocked cards that were fairly old, and I would trade them for the next year up (like a 1966 for a 1967 in return) that I didn't have. The real question is do I have them delivered to me? I was thinking about it, because it wouldn't cost all THAT much to do. We'll see what happens.
