Birthday trip to the CS with box of prism.
Birthday trip to the CS with box of prism.
So I live in a small town with no Card shops around me so it isn't often I get to venture to one. My wife and I were heading to Indy for my Birthday and I looked up to see if there were any shops in the area to spend my birthday money. (That's right, I'm 31 and still get birthday money, lol) We decided on The Dugout in Plainfield.
This place is the kind of shop I've always dreamed of. All of the other shops I have been too have a very quiet atmosphere with maybe one other customer there at a time, the shop owners don't talk and it's get in and get out. But this place was amazing. I seriously could've spend a week there. When we pulled into the parking lot there were people parked blocking other people in that's how full it was. After we walked in I found out it was because of some Yu-Gi-Oh Pokemon tournament or something. But anyway this place was hoppin'. I'm surprised there wasn't a cover charge at the door.
The prices were very nicely priced in my opinion. I picked up 2 singles for my HOF auto collection.
Frank Ramsey and Sam Jones at $8 a piece
And then since I haven't busted a box in over 2 years I decided to buy a box of prism for $105.
I don't' really know what I was expecting out of the box but I don't think it was as good as I wanted it to be.
Here's the goods.
Also got Downtown Bound: Kevin Durant
USA: Tyson Chandler
Finalist: James Worthy
Notable Rookies: MKG and A Davis
Looks like I got a pretty good start to a John Jenkins collection. Was pretty disappointed with my autos.
The gold was nice although I would've preferred a better player. Everything will be for trade except for the notable rookies and gold I'm going to send to auction.
Sorry for the long read but thanks for looking. Peace!
