Dollar Packs of Goudey, Heritage, Masterpieces...

Went to the Flea Market yesterday and picked up a few packs of 07 Goudey and Heritage from the $1 pack guy. Not too many Cardinals so most of the cards went to Isaac's team trade box. If I ever figure out (read - look up) what's a short print in these sets I'll pull them out and start a trade bait page. Not sure I can make it back today, but if anyone is interested I can try to pick up some packs for folks. He had 100's of packs of 07 Goudey, Heritage, and Masterpieces for $1 each! I was cheap and only bought five packs... If not today, he's there every month.

Season Tickets

A few weeks back I got a call from the Cardinals Ticket Office. Apparently, they noticed that we had not renewed our modest package and wanted to know why. Frankly, I had forgotten about it and put off renewing because we really had to think long and hard about doing it considering some of the home improvement projects we have lined up - read: 1100 sq ft patio... er, "outdoor living space."

So I returned their call and spoke to a nice enough gentleman who gave me an offer I did not refuse. Without getting into the details, at the end of that call I bought the exact same package and the exact same seats as last year for over 25% (not a typo... twenty-five) LESS than what we paid last year!

Lets review:

- Sign Big Bopper Left Fielder at huge dollars to protect Albert.
- Notice Ike's Dad hasn't renewed tickets.
- Sell tickets to Ike's Dad at a sizeable discount.

At this rate, they'll be calling me to give us free tickets next February after they've signed El Hombre to a lifetime contract!

I'm posting this because we're ready. The tickets arrived yesterday and Isaac poured over them to see which visiting teams he would see this summer. We also had our first catch of the year. Good times.

Remember kids - Procrastination Pays Off!

Red Back / Blue Back Retros

Love the Topps 2010 Red & Blue Back retail inserts this year and have picked up a few recent retros of the same lineage… ok two. I’m looking at the 1951 checklist to see if I can put together a Cardinal team set for a reasonable sum. We’ll see….

1968 Orlando Cepeda Game Insert

2005 Albert Pujols Bowman Heritage Mini

2010 Stan Musial Wal-mart Blue Back Insert

The non-Cardinals 2010 inserts. These are up for trade for the Dizzy Dean, Rogers Hornsby, George Sisler, or Albert Pujols inserts.

Topps Million: 'Stache or Eye Black?

Knew absolutely nothing about this guy. Turns out he was a Cardinals draft pick and made his MLB debut in St. Louis. He also hit the first grand slam for the Mariners franchise.
