What Do We Want? MORE MAYO! When Do We Want It? NOW!

February 15, 2009

I bought the last remaining packs at Target on Saturday and was even able to check out without getting a disapproving look from the cashier for being a person over the age of 15 buying trading cards.

Not too bad...three of the legends and a HMS Beagle ship mini...I've got a video of the blaster I ripped this weekend that will be ready soon...

Legends

Defense

Minis

Quarterbacks

Running Backs

Super Bowl

Tight End

If anybody gives me the disapproving "you're buying cards" look, I give them the disapproving "you're forced to wear red" look right back.

What's funny is I worked briefly at the Target up here before I got back into collecting so I hate going back there for cards and I only do it in an emergency situation in stealth mode, such as spying for the new '09s. Thankfully the first two times I went in I didn't see anybody but the last time I got rung up by the "hot girl" I used to work with. It was pretty embarrasing just buying one pack of '09 Topps from her because they didn't have UD. I guess it couldn've been worse. I coulda got a "Tur-Gate Lady" and yes we had several nebbish housewives who worked there just like the SNL skit.

Can't wait until my two boxes get here. The blasters seem like a decent value. Any problems with condition of the cards out of the pack.

word verification: clogrot or dogrot, guess we will find out if I guess right

I did have a couple of dinged corners in the blaster but that may have been because of the difficulty I had in getting the steel-plated plastic off the box.

Jeffrey--great comment...there nothing worse than shopping at the store you used to work at!
