One thing though ...... Chris Young needs some pinstripes
Thanks, no bulldog made it for me! As user said above though it's the wrong auto. I didn't even spot till he said something but he's right it's the wrong Chris young auto. I loved him in AZ he was my favorite for years. He doesn't hit for average but he's great defensively and has some pop in his bat!

Actuall, I can't trade Pujols or Buchholz ... See new thread in baseball forum "weird quirk in ORG" for details ....
I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.

RE: A retail excursion
Having fun with Donruss!
This Tanaka/Abreu /999 card is very nice!
.... And a great blaster of Platinum
.... And finally, I picked up a last little lonely pack of Prizm, only to be rewarded with this nice Trout treat.
Sure, an auto would have been sweeter, but this isn't too bad for a $10 hanger.

RE: A retail excursion (new pics)
I see our mutual friend is visiting you again. Maybe I can tempt him back with some beautiful Minnesota pre-fall weather.
Mid to high 70s all week and perfect sleeping weather in the mid-60s.
Come back, Streaky, I need you a little more. I'm sorry I've spent so much time buying singles lately ... I promise I'll do better.
P.S. - Nice hits, Doc.

Thanks! Yeah, my Eduardo collection is growing! I love getting PC hits!
I also needed that Toolsy die cut! Abreu, Tanaka, not bad either!

Thanks! Streaky has been coming and going, lately. I think he's having problems making up his mind where he wants to stay. Darn those free-spirited Streaky ones!

Thanks.
Went out to find some more Donruss ...Nada.... but picked up a few discounted 2013 blasters from Walmart instead. Found some decent stuff ... One great card, but not a great player .., yet.
Anthony Alford /10 ... Koufax and Jeter SP .. Not bad hits from three $12 blasters.
And went to see if Bowman Chrome was at Target ... No, but a 2014 Bowman blaster that was the last one was there ... Felt bad for it, so I brought it home .... Napoli /75 for trade if anyone is interested. Alex Reyes auto ... St. Louis prospect ... Any good?
