Rippin' Retail BIG TIME and some Hobby Fun Too...

So, over the past couple of weeks the wife and I have been stopping by Target from time to time and we always check out the discount blaster area for fun pick ups for the both of us!

First up, a hit for my wife from 2011 Donruss Americana, discounted to $12.99 for the blaster!

Nice! Numbered out of 250 and a big name like Bogart! Awesome.

Next up, I always wanted a Pete Rose auto but I didn't want to pay more than $12.99 for it. And I succeeded! The "Pete Rose: A Living Legend" blasters were discounted to $12.99 so I grabbed one knowing it guaranteed an auto!

Great picture and it doesn't look horrible with the lack of license. It's going in the PC. Great pick up for a great price. I'm sure there are enough Pete Rose autos for every collector to have one super cheap these days.

Finally, on the retail splurge, I grabbed a 2013 Allen & Ginter blaster at full price! I got EXTREMELY lucky...

Wow! Fantastic autograph and the pack odds were 1:141, so out of an 8 pack blaster I say I did pretty dang well for myself! When I saw the thick card in the stack I figured, "Hey I got a jersey relic!" But when I flipped it over I couldn't believe my luck! Awesome! Shelby apparently decided to take his time with this auto, it's a great looking signature!

Ok, finally, a couple weekends ago I bought my 3 boxes of Allen and Ginter, I also picked up a box of Golden Age. What can I say, I like the set...

I managed to add a couple of cards for my wife's collection! It's ok, the box she bought netted us the Gil Hodges relic and the Tommie Davis auto last month. Of all the Bad News Bears to pull, Tatum O'Neal is definitely one of the best! Lombard looks so angry, why so angry Carole? Is it because of the unnecessary "e" at the end of your first name???? 

Hope you all are enjoying the increased activity on the blog. Is anyone reading this drivel?????
