I can't comment from work so I'm never going to get any bonus points if you don't accept that email I sent...
So many Reds! And no bonus points for the Toy Soldier known as Arroyo? For shame.
email accepted sir. Well played.
Looking at some of these is really making me realize the reason I decided not to collect this years Topps set minus the Mariners. I wonder what my pack will he soon....
At last, someone else not afraid to say that simply putting "Ichiro" on a baseball card is stupid.
We're not playing soccer here.
Bush, Kinsler, Bush...you should get bonus points sir. If you won't do it I will. I hereby award you 10 honorary points for the Soccer fan of the week pic! Well done sir, well done.
Ichiro!
What more do you need.
Orioles!
What don't they need.
I hope there's a Bush card of him behind an Mission Accomplished banner...eating a pizza. How many points for that?
Those Kinsler and Ordonez cards are fantastic. Also, you have an e-mail coming shortly....
I don't think the Orioles are celebrating, they just think they can dance
Looks like you got a Bush hot box so far... I kinda like the PFP inserts, but I also agree with you on the Mantle, very cool shot, but unless we are talking about heaven here, he ain't opening for anybody anytime soon.
I never realized how tough it could be to score points in a pack war.
I can't believe you got that box for $15!! too cool...
Gotta love seeing a fellow Canadian cashing in! If the Expos had done the same thing with Larry Walker, who knows what could have happened for them.
Random Thoughts
Genuis corpse comments!
I like the two Bush cards, I actually completed that entire insert set for some ridiculous, unknown reason.
The scoring is hilarious and resembling soccer scores.
I wish my LCS sold boxes that cheap.
Looking forward to my break in the next round, Give me some Giants!
I think Alexei Ramirez is running away from Prince Fielder. I know I would be.
hope I can do better than some of these packs
A double-dose of George Bush, awesome.
Must get taco pizza....
Correction: Topps is not owned by Disney.
Of course, I would end up with Molina!!! Debbie Downer wah-wah!!!!
I also have some cards off your want list, but it won't let me email you off of your profile. Shoot me an email and I'll get them to you.
Erik Bedard starts on Opening Day for the Pirates? The world must be ending!
FYI - I can sing the entire Canadian national anthem (just not the French part). So what's that, like, 38 bonus points or something?
