Blaster Break: 2009 Topps 206 Baseball

You know.. when my wife goes grocery shopping and I specifically ask for a pack of 206.. look what I end up with! A freakin’ blaster! Jeez..

This will be a short and simple blaster break post… I only wanted a pack!

I already got a Mize which I showed in a different post, but this is the short print!
..hence the no-numbered back.

Here’s the bronzes.

…and the minis.

If you’re wondering why all the cards have stains on the back, they’re printed like that on purpose.

Ok, now I think I have enough to post a want list. It should be up shortly.

Barter: Care of No One’s Going to Read This Blog

A couple of weeks ago, Jeremy from No One’s Going to Read This Blog contacted me to see if I wanted to swap some ’09 Topps. I’d been wanting to start trading online but I never initiated any for lots of dumb reasons, but now I had no excuses! This trade was exactly what I needed to get my trading feet wet. Jeremy send over a nice stack of Series 1 and 2 for my set in progress. These are some of my faves.

This home run might be the most thrilling moment I got to see of the post season last year. Great pinch hit home run! I didn’t know this card existed so this was a surprise!

This is the view you get from the ground if you actually lose a brawl after charging the pitcher who beaned your helmet off.
