Parallels Aplenty, but less than $30 worth...

a few days ago I received a surprise package in the mail from Robert who writes $30 a Week Habit.

In it was one hockey card, and eight baseball cards. You'll see the baseball here, all from 2012 Topps.
As luck would have it, I needed 7 of the 8.

An orange Uggla from Chrome. I've said it before, and I'll repeat myself... I love these cards. I just wish I could find the purple and blue and red ones....

Speaking of blue.... here are three blue parallels from... uh.... Topps Update? Maybe?

Yes, Chad Durbin is still in the majors...

Hard swingin' Matty Diaz. If only every ball player gave the effort that Matt gives.....

Next up, three of the '87 mini's... I had Kimbrel already, but it was awesome to be able to add Chipper and Freddie.

I've now got Heyward, Kimbrel, Bourn, Uggla, Hanson, McCann, Spahn, Chipper and Freddie. Who am I missing? Anyone?


Finally, a liquorfractor of Jair Jurrjens. I dunno if the Braves are going to resign Jair... how can someone go from Cy Young candidate to OMG I FORGOT HOW TO PITCH in 6 months???

Thanks Robert!!! I'll see if I can find more Leafs for you soon....
