Apparently I don't have a single SP... I think I have to go digging again....

Checklists

C1, C2

That's gold, Jerry! Gold!

Fairly odd headline coming from a guy who has never seen a complete episode of Seinfeld. But with all of the Seinfeld/chicken references going around baseball this past week, I figured why not join the crowd? Be one of the 'in' people for once. Assert my individuality by being like everyone else. It's like being a teenager again.

Where was I? Oh, yes, cards. Of course. That is why most of you come here, isn't it? (those few not withstanding who are still checking out the hot soccer chicks. I'm over here.... hello?)

Moving on, they'll catch up later....

I bought a few baseball cards at the last card show. I'll show you these four now.... maybe the rest later if I ever find where I put them down.....

Four, count them, four outstanding Braves cards for the low, low price of $8.

You know any Braves post HAS to contain Chipper, right? Well here's mine...
2012 Heritage New Age Performers....

He also had a stack of these Gold Rush cards. Apparently you had to send in wrappers to Topps in exchange for these. Who knew? Not this boy. Yeah, I haven't been paying attention much.

I now own, Dan Uggla

recent number retired honouree and future Hall of Famer John Smoltz

and Warren Spahn.

Now these are pretty cool. I'm not going after the set or anything crazy like that... but I do want all the Braves. A quick check at Topp's website for a checklist....
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Looking at Topp's website for a checklist! That's gold, Jerry! Gold!
Anyways, if any of you know of, or have any Braves that I ain't got listed here (ther's only three to keep track of, it's easy) Please let me know and we'll get a deal done.

It was nice to be able to find time to write... thankfully Euro 2012 is almost over. I may get my life back again. Wait. What do you mean the Olympics are starting? When? Uh oh...........

My 3 pack Heritage break

2012 Heritage is here! Yay! Woot woot! Hurrah!

Did I summon up enough excitement for you? You've probably all seen it by now, but I thought I'd show you the results of my 3 pack purchase anyways.

Three packs for $10. Here we go.

The wrapper. Nice and bright, but simple. I like it.

 I'll show off all of the hits first.
Braves pitcher Mike Minor. (yes, pulling a Brave = a hit.... my blog, my rules)

 Braves pitcher, and Rookie of the Year, Craig Kimbrel. The photographer seems to have convinced Craig to climb something very high for this shot...

 One of those useless shiny refractory inserts of Dan Haren. It's up for swap.

 A flashback from 1963... this one of John Kennedy's assassination.

 Dustin Pedroia's game used something or other.... I have to say, I'd have been happier pulling another Brave instead... but Jack Plumstead's luck came through

 On to the cards themselves.... (yeah, only two Braves for me out of three packs)

Floating Heads!

 Elvis seems happy even though either him or that light tower is about to be hit by lightning.

 Cliff Pennington rocking the casual look at some neighbourhood park. Is that a portapotty in the background??

 Kyle Weiland and a chain link fence. There are not enough  chain link fences on today's baseball cards.

 Yankee rookie Andrew Brackman. This is not a trick perspective of the camera. Andrew is almost as tall as that light tower. 6' 10" and still growing. Maybe they just gave him Randy Johnson's old uniform. Gotta save a buck here and there ya know!

 The backs are okay. A little write up, and some stats. The only issue I have is with the cartoons. See here on Kyle's card....

 and Andrew's card....

Out of 20 cards with cartoons on the back, this cartoon appeared four times. And another cartoon three times. Is it that hard to sketch something a little different? Talk about saving a buck or two.

I would really like to build this set... but doing it by pack is out. Maybe I can pick up a lot online or something. We'll see.
Anyone else going to build it?
