TWIC to be continued....

Opening Day

Four Hours til the first game of the season, my now local team Rangers against the now AL Astros, so wrong  mrSelig, why the Brewers didn't go back to the AL is beyond me.  Bye bye tradition - Anywho - Looking forward to catching a few innings after bath time with little miss awesome (the daughter)

Til then here is my first pack of Opening Day, its a big pack, not sure the technical name, but it was 2.99 for 24cards instead of three pack that only equaled 21 cards.

 Marte hope him the best this season

he didnt really bring it last year

Reddick became a beast last season

hope he can keep mashing and bring his avg up

Morales and Span in new unis

i like morales hope he kills it this year

in the newly designed Safeco

 

 pretty blue shiney, my precious

oh wait, he's not a Ray, still a great card

hope he caught it or is Topps being funny :)

two Reds with my other inserts

and Trumbo who i putting faith in my fantasy team

love the vintage uni

(nice touch topps)

 

 LONGO!! score

great action shot

Miggy, it was awesome he won the triple crown

i was cheering for him

glad it happened in my lifetime

ENJOY OPENING DAY!!

and i hope you had a great Easter

GAME ON!!!

Have an awesome cardboarding week and thanks for checking out This Week in Cardboarding.

Shaking the rust off

I know its been awhile but life just hasn't been allowing me much time or money for collecting.  A really quick recap, I am now in Texas and my daughter is two point five, wifey started a new job and i am working my way up a small business but doing art stuff.  Yep that about sums it up.  I have really missed collecting and even sharing the one or two things i pick up sporadically.   Its the beginning of a new season and I am inspired to give blogging another go.  As always I hope you enjoy my little play by play on collecting and baseball.

Kicking 2013 off with just a couple of packs from the local Target or Walmart (i cant remember which :).


Pack 1

 

 Lincecum my fist 2013 card, could be worst, Congrats Giants!

how unlucky was Cliff last season

can't believe Young is in Philli now, hope he ROCKS this year

got a Ray i'm happy, hello mrPrice

Love the 72 mini

Pack 2 

LONGO mini, me likey, 2013 you have hooked me

Nathan blue, i guess that means i got these from Wally

the other/last four cards from both packs

the top row is from pack one

...not much here

A red Danks, does that mean i got a pack at each store

one from wally and one from target

WOW i seem like an airhead

i can live with that

apparently there was a third pack, like i said shaking the rust off

 Profar rookie, back in the minors, top prospect by the experts
really not sure where texas can play him
unless they trade someone
regardless happy to have card of him
Nice Pedroia die cut

I think I will be stretching This Week in Cardboarding out this go around, so more posts, just shorter posts.
Thanks for reading have a great Easter!!!
