The first pack of 2008 Topps for me, Hobby Style. I usually pick up Jumbo packs from the hobby store, but they were out, so I had to settle for some packs. No worries, I’ve got a good feeling.

2007 - Bowman Football - Bust #0016

This pack was actually purchased at the local Kroger. I can’t help myself when I stop in to pick something up from the store and I must (MUST!) grab at least two packs of cards. I restrict myself to cards in blister packs, to thwart the nasty pack searchers, but that limits my options greatly. That didn’t deter me from grabbing this pack of 2007 Bowman Football.

This is going too far

Besides being an avid card collector, I also spend a lot of my free time playing video games. Not surprisingly, the two hobbies have some overlap — there’s a group of people who collect video games. There are rare versions of Nintendo games worth thousands of dollars. A mint copy of Final Fantasy III for the Super Nintendo (unopened, of course!) will fetch a pretty penny on eBay.

I, myself, don’t really collect games. I’ve got a couple old games I’ve held on to for nostalgia’s sake, but they’re not worth much. I don’t see the purpose of buying a game I don’t intend on playing.

But today, over at Joystiq, I saw a collision of two of my hobbies I’m not exactly comfortable with — graded video games:

I personally don’t mind graded cards. They have a place in our hobby, especially with vintage cards, for archival purposes. But graded games? That doesn’t jive with me.

Do. Not. Want.

I just wanted to throw up a quick post to let those of you reading my site (thanks!) that I’m still around. I just recently updated my sites to WordPress 2.5 and plan on hitting the ground running with more content as things settle down at work. In the meantime, here’s a picture of the Cleveland Pronkinator.

My Indians are off to a nice 2-0 start, besting the White Sox once again this evening 7-2. Sorry, White Sox fans, it looks like it’s going to be a long season.

I liked the way the previous post looked that I’m just going to follow it up with another 2008 Upper Deck Baseball wax bust. I have been having some pretty decent luck with this product, so why not keep the mojo flowing?
