Big Z Still Stable

Big Z didn't get the win but he pitched well. Leave it to Kid K to blow the comeback.

Fun Fact of the Day

The Cubs rank 4th in the league in hitting and 27th in the league in hitting with runners in scoring position...and yet, they are only 3 games under .500 and 4 games behind the first place Cards. What a terrible NL Central

This is dated back to Wed the 4th. Another solid 8 innings. So far, so good.

Topps New Website

By: Clay

About a year ago, maybe longer, I emailed Topps support asking them why their website wasn't up to date. And if you had been on there around that time, you know what I'm talking about. It was painfully awful and unprofessional. Anyway, They finally updated it a couple months ago. I'm guessing to go along with their 60th ann. The site looks good and is easy to maneuver around. Let's hope it stays that way.

I'm mailing in my damaged Matt Kemp relic, Evan Longoria framed paper and Jose Reyes framed paper cards after work today. So, we shall see how long it takes Topps to mail replacements back and if they are close in terms of value/quality player. I don't want some crap ass jersey relic of Hank Blalock. I still have a hand full of those and I even gave two away as part of an Easter gift to a young family member. Afterwards I felt awful when I noticed I gave him two Blalock relics. I should have mixed it up. No one deserves that. One piece of crap certainly is better than two pieces of the exact same crap.

In conclusion...mailing topps package today...debating what to do with Jackie Robinson relic card(not damaged)...maybe put some more Gypsy Queen on Ebay...still have Ryan Howard 2010 A&G relic card contest going(older post)...

Ahhhh! Real Damages!

By: Clay

This afternoon I stopped by Target to fill my Topps Gypsy Queen void. Let me say, this was quite the day for me. I hand selected a couple rack packs and headed home for about 2 minutes of passion and pleasure! And just like how sweet love makin can turn sour...


Yes! First pack and I pull a Jackie Robinson bat Relic! My best pull of the year and from a Target rack pack none the less. Makes your heart pound and motor rev. But honestly, I wasn't expecting to get much else from these packs. Oh was I wrong.


Two framed paper serial numbered cards of Jose Reyes and Evan Longoria. Now, granted these two were going on Ebay...they are now worthless to me in an even simpler term. Damaged!

Oh NOOOOO! Not another! What you are seeing is a dented and dinged corner of a Matt Kemp relic card. Shit! Bad things come in threes, or so I've heard. Thankfully Topps takes care of such nightmarish incidents.
