Thank you my good man ... it has been a good run of Bryants for me. If only he could hike up that .249 average, LOL

What an awesome retail Hit, RJ! Congrats!
Maybe after I pulled my Bryant Redemption in 2014 Bowman, that should have heralded my retail retirement? Retail hasn't been worthwhile in a long while. It was downhill ever since.
As far as beer ... Last summer I was totally enjoying Leinenkugel Summer Shandy and Lucky Buddah Beer. The first was an amazing hot summer day Thirst Quencher while the latter was the beer that just tasted great with food of any cuisine. Currently, I'm obstaining from alcohol until I can once again afford to lose brain cells. Until that time, I will have to live vicariously, while preserving the few synapses that are still functioning. 
Stay thirsty, my friend!
Did you get the redemption? Would love to see a scan!
And yes, thank you for all the beer suggestions. I will take them up one by one!

Sorry, didn't see your request .... Here's the redemption I received!

It's not listed anywhere in the OPG. It's a paper, not chrome. Its not numbered and It wasn't the lucky redemption, either. Strange.

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.

Yeah, I hardly see them (2014 Bowman Bryant Retail SSP) and they're not in Beckett. There's a Graded one up on eBay for about 1200. There's no other sales or purchases on eBay. Anything on COMC?

RJ....that was one awesome hit. Congrats (sorry for the delay in posting)! I was lucky to pull the Bryant lucky redemption in 2014 as well as a #/25 auto from '16 GQ, but unlike the "retail king", both of mine were out of hobby and in all honesty, yours looks a lot better. Enjoy and way to go out on top! (who are you kidding.....your gonna hit that store on your afternoon walks for a pack (or 5) every now and then). LOL
Keep in touch with us all.

Hey Joe,
Its Deja vu all over again.
I started reading the thread, and it seemed very, VERY familiar and then saw that I replied to RJ's incredible pull ... almost a year ago. LOL ... But then again, a year ago, you kinda had your hands full and more important stuff to deal with.
RJ pretty much has kept his word. He's been in touch here frequently, and he hasn't really been hitting any retail (as much as I recall)
