I've got some reasons:
- My last post featured an authenticated Roberto Clemente autograph, and that's a tough act to follow. Sort of a "mic drop" post, and it took me a while to pick up the mic again.
- I have a set workload I need to take care of at work each month, and with February being a short month, I've got to fit all that work into fewer days (and therefore have less downtime to draft posts).
- Family stuff: my father-in-law had a heart attack and subsequently a triple bypass. He's recovering fine now, but definitely some scary times over the past couple weeks.
- Laziness. It was nice to take a little break and not worry about posting for a while.
But I'll try to get back into the saddle here.
Nolan Arenado just signed a huge contract extension. I'll bet he and his agent were like, "BOOM. We did it." ..to quote a shredded wheat cinnamon toast crunch cereal box.
I recently decided to kick up my lil Arenado PC by adding a certified auto, and settled on this 2016 Topps Tek card.
It's a fine card.
My apologies for keeping A+ content like this from you for over two whole weeks! lol. Thanks for coming back.
I noticed! Get well soon to your father in law!
ReplyDeleteI noticed. I was about to message you to see where you were.
ReplyDeleteTopps Tek is a fun brand and I love when you mix them with on-card autos.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, glad to hear your father-in-law is doing better!
ReplyDeleteWishing your father-in-law a speedy recovery! And good to see you're back at the keyboard. Congratulations on adding that Arenado on-card autograph to your collection. Tek's on-card autographs are awesome. Love the acetate and the affordability.
ReplyDeleteI noticed. It was definitely a Mic drop with the Clemente. Here's wishing for healthy times ahead for your father in law.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking card and he is such a great player. Glad he got his contract. Good post.
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you pecking at the keys again. Great auto! Family First and Foremost (good boy). As for the laziness, nah. I'd say it was a seven year itch, hehe.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your father in law. The good news is that Portland is home to some really good hospitals, so he probably ended up getting just about the best care possible.
ReplyDeleteGlad to read that your father-in-law is recovering well!
