It aint quantity, its quality. Check this out: My scanner finally crapped out yesterday so we went to target to get one we saw in the flyer for $60. Its an HP copier/printer/scanner and so far it works great! Great Deal!!!!
Then I had to go and ruin it. Being the fool that I am I grabbed the last 8 packs of Hot Prospects they had in the store. I hate the retail itch. Out of 8 damn packs these 2 are the only ones worth posting

CRAP!!!! Next trip to Target I'm going to keep telling myself.... "NO.... NO"
Heres the funny part. The day before we took the kids to the flea market and let them loose. Theres a guy there who usually has a few boxes of recent basketball and he had a box of Artifacts for $2.00 a pack. Not bad. So I got one, and I pulled this:

Its nothing spectacular but its a nice card of one of my main hobby interests. Just goes to show you .... quantity from retail = crapola. Go with the flea market!! :lol:

I don't drink coffee but could really use something with caffiene right now. I have no idea why I'm so tired this morning.
As for your tough luck retail, those 8 packs were better than my blaster box of Hot Prospects. I got that same Durant, and Bill Russell like the Jordan and that was it.

Sox got swept by the stinkin' Cubs, George Carlin dies -- Not a great start to the week... but at least there's the NBA Draft... I'm ready for Thursday already.

Yeah ... that blows but thats how it goes. I was pretty happy with the Artifacts pack. I looked up the price of boxes (around $50) and I found a youtube box break. The guy was on fire until he pulled out the auto. He had already pulled 3 jerseys, the Durant RC and some sweet inserts. He got to the Auto and it was Allan Ray... DOH!!! I felt bad for the guy but it was still a pretty nice break. Next time we've got an extra $50 (next year) I want to order a box.

yeah, tell me about it. Luckily for me though (i guess it's lucky) my cell phone is essentially broke, so I didn't have to get numerous phone calls from my cubs fan friends rubbing it in

I get disapointed Brewer's fans asking what happened... We're supposed to be helping them out. Sad times. Hopefully there will be some revenge this weekend.

Err...so Joel's bro got me basketball cards as a wedding gift (awesomely cool!) and I pulled a Tyrus rookie of all things. Sure you got it but I thought I'd see if you needed it before I burned it...UD Reserve Star Rookies #204
