Bo Knows

Well, it's been 2+ months since my last post.  (And that last one was quite monumental.)  I really should try to post at least semi-regularly and with more frequency, perhaps starting now.  Work is very busy.  When I get home I try not to use the computer at all, since I've been having some carpal tunnel and lower-arm muscle issues again.  Weekends are for vegging out.  I do have a pretty spiffy card to show off, however.  It's a card that depicts one of the greatest athletes of all time:

Bo Knows!  2012 Press Pass Legends Hall of Fame Edition, Bo Jackson autograph, #'d 54/75.  I pulled this from a box I purchased at All Star Cards in Santee, CA (essentially, San Diego).

This wasn't necessarily the best or rarest card from the pack, but it is undoubtedly my favorite one.  Another one off the wish list, on to the next one!

My Get from a 2012 Triple Threads Baseball Group Case Break

I participated in a group case break of 2012 Triple Threads Baseball last week at Rip Kings.  There were 9 boxes in the case.  I had a $5 credit from Rip Kings toward a break and saw that a few good teams (well, "good" in terms of box breaking) were available at a reasonable price, so I purchased the Kansas City Royals team slot.  The Royals are like a fifth team I root for, and they have some decent players and hits in the product.  I was hoping to score a George Brett autograph.  I did not get one, but I think I still did quite well for myself:

Hey, still managed to get some sort of George Brett card!  What do they call this, a sepia parallel?  Brown?  Not an especially aesthetically-pleasing color combination here.  Looks like a big dust storm is about to engulf the Hall of Famer, Brett.

Country Breakfast!  Sweet.  Billy Butler auto-relic, #'d 2/9.  The blue ink on the sticker is a bit imperfect for some reason.  Maybe the pen Butler used was drying up.

Cool beans.
