This post will try to cram together a few themes.. still showing off my pickups from yesterday's card show. Plus it's Sunday and I've been trying to keep doing Sentimental Sundays posts. Plus all this month I've been featuring notable stuff from my music collection.
Most of the cards in my latest card show haul are from the past few years, though I did pick up a few cards from the 90s too, so let's check those out today.
Gotta admit I'm fascinated with "cards" that are actually CD-ROMs. I've shown off some Upper Deck Powerdeck examples before, but this is my first of Donruss' attempt, apparently called VXP 1.0 (not a very catchy name). It's from 1997.
I popped in the CD to check it out on an old laptop that could handle abnormally shaped discs like this. Similar to the Powerdeck cards, there's a nice highlight video. There's apparently also a little trivia game called "Swings & Misses" but I didn't install it. The "card" is a bit taller than a standard card, closer to '89 Bowman, but still pretty much fits fine with the rest of my Big Hurt PC.
Speaking of oddly shaped CDs, check this out...
The Flaming Lips are one of the most creative/weird bands around. Not only are they known for putting out sometimes-strange music, they also sometimes release it in strange forms. This is a funky shaped CD single that came out in 1996 for their song "This Here Giraffe".
Fun band. I caught them live once in 2000. BTW, I've got several Flaming Lips CDs available to a good home, along with lots of other 90s alt rock stuff. Check out my post from last week for more info.
I kind of don't want to go buckwild with my modest Jeff Bagwell PC, though I do pick up a neat card for cheap once in a while, and maybe someday I'll eventually get him into my Hundred Card Club. This isn't a standard 1992 Leaf Black Gold card, but rather a "Preview" version that's a bit more scarce.
Speaking of Killer B's from the 90s, the Breeders were pretty big in the 90s, specifically for the "Cannonball" song that was all over MTV circa 1993/1994. I was a big fan of theirs. Though I didn't see them live in the 90s, I did eventually catch them in early 2002, and got Kim Deal's autograph after the show...
That was a thrill. Also caught them again many years later (2013) in Portland. Kim Deal was also in one of my other favorite bands, the Pixies.
Here's a Babe Ruth "500 Home Run Club" card from 1994 Ted Williams Card Company. I just thought it was kind of cool thanks to a texture that almost feels like cloth, so I threw it on my stack.
Speaking of cloth, here's likely the most unique item in my CD collection. It's one-of-a-kind, in fact! Back in 2007, I went to a show by an artist called Casiotone For The Painfully Alone, and one of the opening bands was a fun group from Canada called Greenbelt Collective. I hadn't heard of them before, but enjoyed their set so much that after the show I bought a CD. One of their moms sewed up a whole bunch of special CD cases, all very different (the album is called Our Homes, so that's why the case is a house). I liked the blue and orange of this particular one, so picked it out of the available options.
Love that album, and really appreciate the personal touch of a hand-sewn CD case.
Only one card from the 80s in my quarterbox haul from yesterday, that being a 1982 OPC of badass Dave Parker.
Speaking of Cobra..
COBRA!!!!!! Time for the toys part of this Sentimental Sundays post. I was big into GI Joe as a kid in the 80s. These are a couple Cobra bad guys I managed to hang onto over the years. Still in pretty good condition!
1998 Fleer Sports Illustrated Then & Now - Extra Edition parallel #90
I don't pick up every Tony Gwynn card I come across, as that would be overwhelming. But once in a while, I'll grab one that catches my eye.. and a good way to catch my eye is to be serial numbered. This one even has cameos on the back of Killebrew, Brock, and Brooks.
Tony was definitely one of the good ones.
And continuing with GI Joe, here are some good guys. The submarine dude is from my childhood collection (remember playing in the tub with him), but I think the other 3 were actually picked up many years later, in a trade for CDs or something. I haven't taken the plunge of buying old toys on eBay, though there are lots of stuff I'd get a kick out of picking up... Maybe someday down the line if/when money and space are less of an issue.
Last card of the post. This 1997 Upper Deck UD3 seemed pretty neat.. it's got a "bat" textured surface, plus a shiny foil inset photo.
And to pair up the card with this item.. well, um, it's orange like the Orioles colors. And uh, Steady Eddie kept his HOF career in cruise control on the highway of life. Whatever. These little digital games sure were a lot of fun back then, though compared to today's video games, it was the equivalent of hitting a rock with a stick. I'm tempted to find a battery to put in this thing to see if it still works.
That's all for today. Hope you enjoyed these blasts from the past. Thanks for reading!
I'm used to the local monthly card show being around the last or second to last Saturday of the month. But they've been creeping up the date the past couple months, and so today it was upon us again. I know it's blasphemous for me to say, with many of you guys out there without local card shows, but it kinda feels like it's been too soon since the last one. I mean, I still went, of course, but I definitely didn't feel like I was jonesing for it like I often do when it rolls around. (Maybe that's also partially because I recently busted a coupleboxes... I usually like to spread out incoming new cards better.)
So I kept it reasonably tight, spending a couple hours digging in Bill's quarterboxes, and calling it a day with a phat stack of about 150 cards.
Here's my first look at 2017 Gold Label. I was disappointed but not surprised to find out Topps cheaped out again, same as the 2016 reboot of this product, using rainbow foilboard instead of the Chrome refractor stock of the original run. But flimsy or not, no way I'm passing up a #'d Lindor parallel for 25¢.
More Lindor. He came up big with a grand slam in that epic win over the Yankees yesterday.
Speaking of guys making noise in the playoffs, Jose Altuve has been incredible. I was very happy to throw these 3 cards on my stack, even though they're logoless. The framed card is #'d 03/99.
Rhys Hoskins made a lot of headlines in the last several weeks of the season, cranking out dinger after dinger since his August call-up. I was anxious to get a card of his into my collection. Hey, double your pleasure! The cheapest one on COMC right now is $4.25, so I was surprised to find these for a quarter each.
What?! Brontosaurus wasn't real? My childhood dinosaur books lied to me. This card isn't worth much, but I thought it was cute.
Hey, a serial-numbered Kris Bryant card for a quarter is a serial-numbered Kris Bryant card for a quarter.. even if it's numbered to 10,000.
Let's stop for today here. This was a pickup just for 1992 me. Back then a certified auto of Brien Taylor, 1st overall draft pick in 1991, would be something to lock up in the safe deposit box. Of course he got hurt and was perhaps the biggest bust ever. But still, it's kind of a thrill to own this card even now.
More stuff from this show to feature on the blog in the coming week. Thanks for reading!
I thought last month's box of 2014 Prizm Draft was the penultimate box from my Black Friday stockpile, and so I'd be freed from this product with the next box. But I miscounted and turns out I had 2 left. So I get to use that fancy word penultimate again.
Decent auto haul, with one base auto, a couple red parallels (#/100) and a "blue mojo" (#75). Grayson Greiner has made it up to AAA, and could find himself as a backup catcher in Detroit within the next couple years. Photos of guys in catching gear are nice on unlicensed cards so you don't miss the logos too much. Chase Vallot is a catcher in the Royals org. Nothing too notable yet, but he's only 21, so we'll see. Raisel Iglesias (listed as "Raicel" on the card.. is that an error?) is already an established major leaguer. He was a dependable bullpen arm for the Reds in 2017, leading the team in ERA (2.49) and ERA+ (177). He had 28 saves (for a last-place team that only won 68 games) and was 2nd in the NL with 57 games finished. And the photo shows him in his Cuban uniform, so Panini is able to squeeze in a logo.. cool! Casey Gillaspie was traded to the White Sox from the Rays for Dan Jennings earlier this year. Hit hit .223 with 15 homers in AAA this season.
I was happy to pull that Trea Turner Minors Gold. I've opened a bunch of boxes of this product, and always had these inserts fall one-per-box, so it pleasantly surprised me to pull 2 in this one. Michael Chavis had a nice 2017, with a .910 OPS splitting time between A and AA.
It's odd that some guys in this product have base cards in addition to the Draft Class inserts, though some guys, such as Turner and Conforto, only have inserts. I didn't realize that till this box.. I'm like, "damn, this is like the 3rd time I've pulled Trea Turner's Draft Class card, but haven't pulled his base card yet!" and it's because he doesn't have a base card in there.
Regular refractors ("prizm prizms") I pulled include Dan Altavilla (pitched ok in Seattle this year), speedy Derek Hill (100 career stolen bases in his 4 years in the minors), and Grant Hockin (who seems to have problems staying healthy).
The colored refractors of the box weren't bad: Faded Jays prospect Dalton Pompey (/100), our second appearance of Grayson Greiner (/60), and perhaps the best card of the box, Kyle Schwarber (/100). Schwarber is another guy who doesn't have a base card in this set, just 3 different inserts. He's struggled since his World Series heroics of last year. I'm sure Cubs fans are hoping he can tap into his October magic once again.
So there you go. For the sub-blaster price I paid for it, I'd say that was a solid box.
Only one box of this stuff left and I'm beginning to give up on my hopes of pulling a Trea or Scwarbs auto. But we'll find out next month.
Oh! Since all this month I'm showing off my musical memorabilia and whatnot, let's take a look at a couple autographed CDs before finishing this post. These 2 are technically my wife's, and she got them signed in person at record store appearances a few years before we hooked up, but I happen to like both artists too, so I'm happy to absorb them into "our" collective collection. (I don't have any interesting Social Distortion stuff, which is too bad because it would have really tied the post together!)
Pretty cool signed copy of Sleater-Kinney's album The Woods. All 3 members of the trio are accounted for here: Corin Tucker, Carrie Brownstein, and Janet Weiss. Carrie is the most recognizable these days thanks to starring on the show Portlandia. (And card collectors may know her for having a First Pitch insert in 2016 Topps.) But yeah, they're probably my wife's all-time favorite band. We saw them on their reunion tour a couple years or so back and had a great time.
And here's a signed cd by Feist. Her biggest hit was that "1,2,3,4" song that you've probably heard in commercials even if you're not really into this type of music. I saw her live once back in 2006 and she put on a great show. (One of my goals for Rocktober is to finally finish the big list of shows I've seen.. been working on it off and on for years. So hopefully I'll get that completed and feature it in a future post.)
That's it for today. Have a great weekend, everybody!
I got some dental work done today, specifically getting a few old mercury fillings replaced with safer material. Stuff like that is never any fun, so to give myself something to look forward to as the dentist was tinkering in my mouth, I decided I would let myself rip a box of 2016 Allen & Ginter X when I got home. To refresh your memory on these, Topps was briefly blowing them out online for a deep discount a while back (a blaster and a half each). I grabbed 3 of them and opened the first one a month ago. So this is box #2, and I've still got one in the hole.
And since it's Rocktober here on the blog, I'll be working some music stuff into the post. Since I got the mercury out of my mouth today, the obvious choice for me here is to get out my Mercury Rev stuff to feature.
Mercury Rev are a band out of Night Owl's neighborhood of upstate New York (Kingston/Buffalo). Their first album came out in 1991. Their early stuff is generally a bit noisy and weird (they are contemporaries of the Flaming Lips), though the track "Frittering" is a nice mellow respite in the middle of the first album.
Some big names. I'm probably gonna go ahead and try to finish the set with the 3 boxes I bought. I haven't collated my cards from the 2 boxes I've opened yet, but I gotta figure I'm close to the 300 card base set. With no inserts or parallels to worry about (besides 1-per-pack minis and 1-per-box auto), this is a setbuilder-friendly set, with really only the 50 SPs to give you any trouble. I've pulled a few base dupes between my 2 boxes so far, of course, but thankfully nothing too egregious.
Here are some young stubs. With the exception of Conforto, these guys are still in the playoff hunt as of this writing. (though if I don't finish this post by the end of the NL Wild Card game...)
Speaking of young men, "Young Man's Stride" was the lead single from Mercury Rev's 3rd album, and it's probably the most straightforward "rock" song they ever put out. I'm sure it got the mid-90s kids jumping in the mosh pits back on that album's tour.
Got 9 SPs from the box. Don't seem to be a lot of starpower here.
The minis I pulled are highlighted by a couple guys I collect, plus a Schwarber RC and a SP (d'Arnaud). I don't think I'll bother entertaining thoughts of trying to collect the entire mini set (One SP mini per box? That would take several cases to complete!), so this little stack will be split up into my player collections and my trade boxes. (If anyone's looking for any 2016 Ginter X minis to fill holes in their collection, let me know.)
Mercury Rev's most successful album was 1998's Deserter's Songs, though it mainly hit big in Europe, going gold in the UK, barely making a blip in the US.
And my auto..
Hmm. Well, definitely not on the same level as my box #1 auto (Robinson Cano), but you could do worse. (At least it's not Marlin Man, right?!) Brian Johnson has been a dependable arm out of the bullpen for the Sox this season, as is my understanding. Best of luck to him and Boston against the Astros in the ALDS, though truthfully, I'm slightly leaning for Houston here. Really though, I don't have any "hated" teams in the playoffs this year (hell, even the scrappy Yankees and downtrodden Dodgers are hard for me to hate right now), so I'm looking forward to seeing how things shake out, and I'll probably be happy with whoever ends up on top. But then again, I always say that and by the deciding game(s), I often find myself with strong rooting interests.
But back to Brian Johnson here, he's got a nice "BJ" signature. Coincidentally, Mercury Rev's first ever live performance was at a bar in Fredonia, NY called BJ's. (Have you ever been to BJ's, Night Owl?)
Let's run through some of my Rev memorabilia.
This is a huge poster I got from winning a contest from their record label on CDnow (a popular online CD store before Amazon gobbled them up) back in 1998. For scale, that's a McCutchen mini in the upper right of the photo. I never bothered hanging this up (not exactly the most visually interesting poster), but maybe someday the right situation will present itself.
Here's another poster I got from winning the contest, and a magazine ad. The contest was "promote the band in a cool way" or something like that, and I made a fansite for them. The little site, Before The War, is still around, nearly 20 years later, though I haven't really done anything with in for the past several years.. just left up as a resource for curious fans at this point. (I also got a promo CD signed by the band as part of the prize, but it's hiding away somewhere, so not pictured in this post.)
I also got some glittering stickers and tickets to see them live in Los Angeles (there was no San Diego show, so I had to drive north a couple hours to the city of angels.. eyeroll). The show was at the El Rey Theater and was pretty great. I remember they ended with a cover of Neil Young's sprawling classic "Cortez The Killer", and they also played a rarity ("Downs Are Feminine Balloons") that I believe was the only time they've ever played it since the original co-singer David Baker left the band back in 1994.
The second time I saw the band was in 2002. I think it was the only show they've ever played in San Diego. The venue was a place called 'Canes Bar & Grill which was literally right on the beach. Another cool thing about the place (since closed, sadly) is it was a restaurant, so you could show up in the afternoon and watch the band soundcheck. They'd be up on stage, looking out the door in front of them into the Pacific Ocean. I was able to catch the soundcheck this show, and it was awesome.. I think I was the only guy there besides the band and the crew. In the time between the soundcheck and the actual show, they were eating dinner at the open-air restaurant on the roof of the venue. After they had pretty much wrapped up their meal, I eventually worked up the courage to introduce myself as "the Before the War fansite guy". They were very welcoming and I helped them finish off some remaining food and shoot the shit with them for a while. The guitarist, known by the nickname Grasshopper, was super nice and I had a good talk with him. I got him to sign one of my glittery stickers (above). While the opening band was playing, I talked for a long time with Rev's lighting guy (I can't remember his name now, but he's also worked a lot with Sigur Ros), he was super cool, and as a very shy person, I don't have many quality conversations with strangers, but this was one of the few.
The show was terrific. Afterwards, I stuck around for a while and ended up grabbing a setlist. One band member I didn't have a chance to talk with during dinner was singer Jonathan Donahue. Thankfully, I was able to catch him on the way to the parking lot. We had a brief, friendly interaction and he kindly signed the setlist for me. I drove home with a big smile on my face, having seen a great show and had pleasant encounters with the primary members of the band.
See You On The Other Side (1995) might be my favorite album of theirs. And while this looks like a standard CD, it's actually the Japanese import version that's pretty damn rare (there's only one on eBay right now, with a $80 asking price). It includes a bonus track ("Cartwheel") that in my opinion really wraps up the album nicely and it's a shame it wasn't included on the regular CD. (I asked Grasshopper about this omission during our chat, and he just kinda shook his head and said the record label had the final call on the tracklist and it was basically out of the band's hands. Bummer.) But yeah, this will probably be one of the few CDs I hang onto. (If you missed my earlier post, I'm getting rid of the majority of my CD collection, offering up most of them to anyone who wants them for only the cost of shipping. Still many left, so check out that post and get in touch.)
Here are a bunch more Mercury Rev CDs, most of which I'm willing to let go to a loving home. Nearly all of these are rare/import versions, with bonus tracks or whatever.
I don't get out to many concerts anymore these days, but just last week my wife and I went to a Tears of Silver show. They're a new side band with Jonathan and Grasshopper from Mercury Rev, along with a guy from the Posies/Big Star, and a guy from Midlake. They played songs from all those bands, plus a few other covers. It was a super intimate show in a chapel. Very enjoyable and laidback. (I think the days of standing around for 2 or 3 hours at a show are behind me now-- tough on my back and feet-- so going to a show with plenty of seating and no opening bands is much more my speed these days.)
After the show, we stuck around for a little. The guys were very friendly, hanging around the merch table, meeting fans and signing autographs for them. I said hi to Grasshopper and reintroduced myself to him. He was excited to see me. I had grabbed a dummy card before I left home, just in case of an autograph situation, and he was kind enough to indulge me and sign it, complete with his little sunglasses doodle, same as from when he signed the glittery sticker for me 15 years earlier (I think that's a pair of sunglasses? Infinity symbol, maybe?). He also made a point to grab Jonathan and say, "Hey, it's the Before The War guy over here!" Jonathan was also glad to see me and graciously loaded me up with all the free merch I could take, thanking me for all my support. I wasn't expecting that at all, and it definitely made me feel like a big shot in front of the line of fans.
Jonathan also gave me a copy of the colored vinyl reissue of All Is Dream, and he and Grasshopper signed it for me. I kinda wish I would have grabbed a sharpie other than the black one that's typically in my pocket, as signatures in blue, red, or green, would probably pop better on the album cover. Hell, in hindsight, I should have asked them to sign the record itself.. that'd be cool to display on the wall. But I'm still very happy with how it looks. I've got a little record collection that I'll try to show off in a post later this month, and this is a great addition.
The musical month theme on Baseball Card Breakdown continues, as I create an excuse to feature some of the signed CDs and other music-related memorabilia I own.
Calamine is a little known band out of the New York/New England area who was active for a brief moment back around the turn of the millennium. Their claim to fame was doing the infectious theme song for the Cartoon Network show Sealab 2021. But by the time the show-- an early stalwart of the Adult Swim programing block-- took off, the band had basically already gone dormant and couldn't parlay the exposure into bigger things.
I liked the theme song enough to take a look into what else they had out there. Turns out they had an independently released CD EP. I checked it out and really liked it. All these years later, I don't really remember how exactly things all went down, but I eventually got to become internet acquaintances with Julie, the main person behind the band, and I helped them get a message board going on their website, calamine.com (The message board isn't up anymore, but the site still is).
I got this cool signed CD.
A couple bunny stickers thrown in, too.
Julie also hooked me up with a demo cdr from her prior band, Stephonic. I think all the tracks are available on the Calamine website, so they're not super rare in that regard, but still a pretty neat item that not many fans of hers are lucky enough to have.
Calamine (a new incarnation of the band, at least) eventually put out another CD, What We Forgot To Remember, which was solid, but decidedly quieter and lacked the catchy pop of the Sealab theme and "Trampoline" that brought most fans to them in the first place. I also got a signed copy of that CD (signed on the back cover), and a shirt, but it was kinda itchy so it ended up in a goodwill pile after a while.
But yeah, that's a cool somewhat obscure band I like and have some signed stuff from.
Let's also shoehorn a card into the post, since this is a baseball card blog, after all. Speaking of trampolines, one guy who has been up and down over the past few years is Jonathan Lucroy. After several quality seasons with the Brewers, he was shipped off to the Rangers and spent a couple unremarkable half-seasons in Texas before being dealt to Colorado for a PTBNL at the trade deadline this year. He's bounced back pretty well in his return to the National League and has helped the Rockies get to tonight's upcoming NL Wild Card game.
This is one of the most beautiful cards in 2017 Topps Stadium Club, with the purple clouds in the fading dusk behind Jonathan as he heads out to his post behind the plate in Arlington. When I saw that the gimmicky 1/1 blank back of this card was still available during a recent Topps Vault closeout, I yoinked it into my cart along with some other items that I'll feature soon.
I don't collect Lucroy or the Rangers, so perhaps I'll end up passing this card onto another collector at some point, but I just thought it was a terrific looking card, and couldn't pass up snagging a 1/1 of it for a heavily discounted price. It's an awesome document of a baseball moment.
Well, damn. Rocktober is off to a rough start. A horrific mass shooting at a music festival in Las Vegas, and the death of one of my all-time favorite musicians, Tom Petty. Life really sucks right now. It's hard to get motivated writing about cards (and music, as I was aiming for on the blog this month).
I was looking around my card room for something I could bust out a quick post on. Howabout this..
Tom Petty was from Florida, so here's an Orlando Magic card. It's one of my best basketball cards and I've been meaning to feature it on the blog for a long time, just haven't gotten around to it till now. It's a Shaquille O'Neal auto in a pretty legit display. I got the plaque back during my Listia days for what I recall was a relatively tiny amount of Listia credits (considerably less cash value than the postage the seller paid to send it to me). It included a Topps rookie card, I think, which was fine but didn't look too impressive in there. I wanted to "upgrade" the card to an auto, so I kept an eye on eBay for a while. It had to be a card from his Orlando days to jive with the nameplate, which really limited my search since most of the autos that pop up seem to be from his Lakers and Heat days. I eventually landed this 1994 Upper Deck Collector's Choice Pro Files card for a solid price.
Here's the back of the card. As you can see, it's hand-numbered 136/495. I'm under the impression that this is a pack-inserted certified auto, but I haven't been able to confirm that. Perhaps someone more educated in basketball cardboard history could weigh in on this for me.
I was never like a huge Shaq fan, but always liked him ok. Interesting, funny dude, and pretty dominant on the court in his prime. But yeah, I stumbled upon a decent display piece and was compelled to upgrade it with an autographed card, and here we are. I suppose this also sort of fits in with my musical theme for the month since he's put out a few albums as a rapper, though I never really listed to any of his stuff besides maybe catching a few short clips on TV.
Tom Petty on the other hand.. man, I'm gonna miss him. I think he's 3rd on the list of most songs in my iTunes library, behind only the Beatles and David Bowie. I'll have to work up a post later in the month with some of my favorite songs of his and stuff.
October is ROCKTOBER on Baseball Card Breakdown! And by that I just mean I'll be posting more music-related content than normal. Still plenty of baseball cards too, though, I promise. But yeah, expect several posts featuring stuff like my musical memorabilia and autographs of musicians.
A big project I've been working on lately is ripping mp3s of every audio CD in my house. See, the thing is my wife is thankfully forgiving of my card collection, though in general she is against my "collecting hoarding" tendencies. One particular collection of my stuff that annoys her is my CD collection. She rightly likes to point out that I rarely listen to CDs anymore. I'm all about mp3s these days. Especially now that I take public transportation to work.. back when I drove more, I listened to CDs in the car. Now I stick with my iPod or smartphone. So the CDs basically just take up room.
Back when I moved from San Diego to Portland, I got rid of about 80% of my CDs, just bringing the cream of the crop up with me. And now, I'm going to get rid of the majority of what I kept. I'm going to try to narrow down to maybe just my top 20 or so favorites to hang onto, plus anything autographed.
I'd love to see as many of these CDs as possible go to good homes rather than just dump them at Goodwill. So I'm putting out a call... Do you still listen to CDs? Want some? The majority of what I've got is 90s alternative rock (the likes of Nirvana, Flaming Lips, Smashing Pumpkins, and lesser-known indie rock ilk), but also some older stuff (Beatles, Jimi, John Coltrane).
Here's the deal:
I'd like to offer to send CDs out to readers of my blog for just the price of postage, paypaled (US only). The easiest way to do it is with USPS flat-rate boxes. - Small Flat Rate Box: $7.15 (fits 4 standard sized CDs) - Medium Flat Rate Box: $13.60 (fits 45 CDs) - Large Flat Rate Box: $18.85 (fits 69 CDs.. nice!)
I'll fill up the boxes as much as I can. If you don't want plastic cases, that could likely double or triple the amount of CDs that are able to fit in a box.
Just let me know what you're interested in, and we'll see what we can do. I'd also be happy to give recommendations based on what you like. (Sorry to country music fans, as that's one genre I don't really touch.)
Now, you know I'm too lazy to type up all the CDs I've got available, so I'm just going to post a few pictures. Please note that there are a handful of rare/valuable CDs that I'll probably try to sell for a few bucks on eBay, so not all of the pictured CDs are available for the "yours for the price of shipping" deal.. but the vast majority are. Oh, and I also haven't pulled out my "top 20" to keep yet (a future post, perhaps?), so some of these I might nix. There are also a few burnt CDRs in here, but those should be easily identifiable for the most part. If you're interested in anything, please please get in touch and let me help these CDs find loving homes!
Update! Here are some of the CDs that are no longer available: Beatles, REM, Nirvana, GNR, RHCP
Just leave a comment and/or drop me an email if you're interested in anything.
