I had been seeing group breaks here and there, and had even done one of Thorzuls mongo el cheapo breaks. But, I was wanting more. A chance to hit it big. Many of the guys writing the blogs I was reading over the last few years were appearing at I Am Joe Collector group breaks. I begged to get in on a baseball break. The Detroit Tigers were already spoken for...until Joe put up a second break. Joe recently covered for us the amount of work it takes to host one of these. Dude is dedicated. January featured T206 and Exquisite. It was a good month for a Tigers fan!
The results; A Ty Cobb relic card. It looks like a bat chip, but could be a sliver of boat oar, stadium seat, table leg, who knows. It's a solid addition to my collection. A 2007 UD Exquisite Andrew Miller Auto/Relic card. Whenever I see a Miller, I think of Mario (sniff). I miss that dude. A slew of base, mini's (one OLD MILL of Verlander), and a thick copper Singl-io Ordonez. Zumaya, what a clown, holding the ball in his left arm to show off a dumb tat. I have high hopes for Wilkin Ramirez.
Congrats, man, that Cobb is awesome! (I take it back if it's a boat oar, though)
ReplyDeleteAnd I got the Bipping up. Ouch!
Nice pulls. Too bad the wealth couldn't have been shared with the other Tiger guy in the other monthly breaks! At least I know that my Kaline manufactured patch card is manufactured and don't have to guess about it origins.
ReplyDeleteI try my best to steal cards and rip off my group break participants.
ReplyDeleteBoat oar or not, that Cobb is pretty and that's all that matters, in my opinion. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd say you killed it this month. Nice haul dude.
