[flood and fire]

Stopped by my LCS last Friday because Spring Training is making me want to open some boxes. I went with a box of 2013 Finest since I've had some pretty good luck with it so far. Not so much this time. I think I even got stiffed on the number of parallels I was supposed to get.

Not feeling so great about that box I decided to grab something else and went with a box of 2007 Ginter. It wasn't too great either for the most part. Until the last two packs. Second to last pack I got a Mini Black NNO Barry Bonds (yeah, I know) SP. And the last pack had a Barry Bonds (again) Rip Card. The first one I've ever pulled. The ironic part is that the owner of the shop had bought a sizable lot of cards, including a 2007 Ginter Barry Bonds rip card, unripped. Of the 99 that were produced, two of the remaining unripped ones were in the same place. Turned out to be a good night after all.

Everything is in my org and available for trade. Not sure exactly what BV I want for the Bonds rip card. Might end up on that auction site.
