keepers from the grocery store


Two posts in one day? Look out! Last post, I put up some trade bait from my haul of packs I conveniently bought while grocery shopping this weekend.

But now these are cards that I plan to hang onto. So back off! lol

Here are some promising whippersnappers. That 2012 Bowman Chrome Xander Bogaerts is a nice pull worth a few bucks.
Here are some horizontal cards
Here's the tangential Padre faction
A couple Griffeys, a Jeter, some HOF oldies, a diecut, and Appier RC(!!!) (Kevin Appier for the Hall!) [Sorry for the poor photo, my camera batteries died right after this.]
As I came to the last pack in the repack, I was feeling somewhat disappointed in my pack-ripping booty. But I went out on a high note with this semi-hit from the 2012 Heritage pack..


While I haven't officially added Miggy to the list of players I collect, I've been trying to get a modest little PC going. Love him or hate him, the guy crushes it and puts up monster numbers. So this relic of a probable future Hall of Famer made me happy and helped justify the $26 I spent on all these cards. I definitely won't pick up cards every week when I go shopping, but every once in a while, it'll be nice to have a close-by ripping fix.

  1. Best post of the year, easily, and for nothing more than including The Clash!

  4. Agree with Tony. The Clash is the only band that matters, and "Lost in the Supermarket" is such a jam. You're cool, my friend. And if you ever decide to trade that Miggy, I could help.
