Ben Zobrist Collection

Here is a picture list of all the Ben Zobrist cards I have. Why pictures? I just like to see cards more than a list of words. If you have something not shown, please contact me so we can work something out, thanks.

Mail Day from a Trade

Coming across EX-MT one day, I saw he had a BJ Upton I didn't have. So I offered him a Connor Jackson 2009 Topps Chrome Refractor for it. He and I made the trade and he even threw in something a little extra for the CoJack. Thanks EX-MT.

This Week in Cardboarding

Welcome to This Week in Cardboarding, this week I got up to Glens Falls and got to go to Omega Sports card store in the Aviation Mall. I have been there, three times now, and still have mixed feelings on the store. They have no recent packs, which I don't mind that too much, it just would be nice. He told me he was sick of the high end product and dealing with wives of customers who spent more than they could afford on cardboard. Which I agree with, but lets not get into that discussion, maybe in another post some day. Still it would be nice to have the option of picking up some reasonable priced packs, such as some hobby chrome, and it would have been nice to buy an extra pack or two to complete my budget. What I really like is how they have their cards arranged by team on shelves along the wall. The last time I went in his store for Rays cards, he had just been cleaned out by a customer, so I was a little out of luck that time. This time they had a small stack of Rays cards so I picked up some Crawford and Upton cards. I also picked up a couple Ichiros I needed. All for six bucks, I have no idea what the list price of the cards were, so I figured 9 cards 6 dollars - sounds good to me. Here's what I got.

Then to finish off my budget, I went to Walmart later in the week and picked up three chrome packs. They were really messy, so I figured they had been ripped clean of anything good. I still decided to try them hoping for cards to build my set.

Pack 1

WOW!!! was I WRONG on the someone searching the packs, my second Hanson auto and I got an Ichiro insert, Bruce also helped my set need and Damon Xfactor

Definitely an AWESOME pack and it's amazing, but pulling the Hanson in the first pack just let me completely enjoy the next two, I got to just enjoy opening for the joy of opening baseball cards. I didn't care about McCutchen or anything else. I was so dumbfounded over that pull. I just opened the next packs and enjoyed each card.
Note to self - allows try and just enjoy opening for the fun of opening baseball cards.

Pack 2

Johan Xfactor and Cain, Jakubauskas andMcDonald set help

Pack 3

WBC card, Konerko Xfactor and no set help

Very very good week in This Week in Cardboarding. Thanks again for checking out This Week in Cardboarding.

Woo Hoo!! Mail day

This from Dinged Corners, helping me complete my 2009 Topps Chrome set. Eleven more off my set needs. Thanks so much and I hope you liked what I sent with the Zito.

My favorite is the Teixeira card, the composition, just has that classic feel and it is just such a great action shot. And of course I am happy to get a Rays guy with the Sonnanstine. Thanks so much Dinged Corners.

This Week in Cardboarding

Welcome to This Week in Cardboarding. This week I went with another Chrome blaster hoping to complete more of my set. The only difference is I picked this one up from a Target.

Well only seven cards towards my set and no McCutchen, makes me even more disappointed than last week. At least last week, all the cards I got were towards my set and once again not a single Rays card. Man, New York blasters are way less friendly than the Texas ones. But on the bright side I just opened a box of baseball cards and loved it. Thanks again for checking out This Week in Cardboarding.
