Summer Doldrums
Usually during the summer, my interest in and the time I devote to my collection wanes. The time I spend with my collection is proportional to the how nice the weather is. When it’s cold, rainy or miserable, I’m more likely to be in the basement ripping packs, organizing cards and doing the blog thing (taking pictures, writing words). If the weather’s good, I’m usually in the back yard, playing with the kids or doing some kind of yard work. If I’m lucky, I’m golfing. I just never have enough time to get to my cards.
This summer, though, I’ve been given a break from the wife and kids (even though I’m missing them now) and a few extra bucks to spend, so I went to the hobby store and got myself a nice little stack of goodies:
This is the first hobby box I’ve purchased since I picked the hobby back up. I’ve already busted the entire thing, but this time I caught the whole ordeal on video. This is my first attempt to do a video box break. I’m still doing “post production.”
One thing I’m debating is putting the box break on Vimeo or YouTube. I know Mario does his videos on Vimeo and other bloggers use YT, but I’m not sure. I know I’d get more “exposure” on YouTube, but I’d also be exposed to the dregs of the internet there. Vimeo always seemed a like the high-rent district. Any suggestions?
I taped myself busting the other packs above as test runs, so we’ll see if any of those are worth putting up here, too. I’ve got a couple old pack breaks in the queue to post, and then I’ll be mostly caught up. I am without my camera right now, but once it gets back, I’ll get some higher quality pictures up of some of my recent pulls. And of course the pulls I got out of that 2008 Legendary Cuts. I am SUPER excited about that one.
So again I thank all of you who’ve stuck around to read my site. I know I haven’t been as prolific as other bloggers, but I appreciate all the comments and feedback I’ve got so far. I’m looking forward to a lot more!
