The Daily Dimwit;
http://www.thedailydimwit.com/ is one of the first blogs I found when I got back into blogging. He is also responsible for my first blog-to-blog trade I believe and partially responsible for my addiction to breaks. Enough background, he is GIVING AWAY a little piece of history glued between some cardboard in a contest on his blog. Ending soon, get on it! Glad to have you back on the blog scene Dimwit!
A Picture Purge of Recent Cards
Not pictured is the five complete sets (2 factory sealed) I bought for $10 total. They were 2 1986 Topps, 1992 Topps, 1991 Donruss, and 1989 Topps. I can't pass up complete sets over 20 years old for $2. Even if I already own half of them.
I have been busy, busy, busy with trades on
Trading Card Database. Find me on there pjdionne12. I am probably going to drop my trade bait tab on this site since it never brought me any trades and commit to uploading all my trade bait on TCDB. I believe you can browse my cards on there even without being a member so feel free to look on there for stuff and email me or comment me here.
The following cards were from trades, a card show, and a few ebay pick ups sprinkled in.
CARD SHOW
 |
| These are really cool 1980 5X7 cards. The box wasn't sealed so I peeked in and saw Nolan Ryan staring back at me. For $2 for the box, why not? |
 |
| I also bought a box of 1994 Collector's Choice Jumbo packs for $7. It was factory sealed and I thought about sitting on it but couldn't hold back. Probably for the better as the cards were begginning to get the sticky-ickies to each other. I will probably do a whole post about this break as it is an underappreciated set. |
 |
| They don't make packs this pretty anymore. |
 |
| I grabbed 4 One-Touches to move forward with my 1978 Rookies Project. Another tab I either need to update or delete. |
My favorite seller at this show changed his dollar boxes to quarter boxes to move a bunch of product before the National. I wish I would have found that first and had more $ to burn. There was probably 12 five row boxes all toploaded cards. Keep in mind this stuff sat in a dollar box forever so the loaders are barely clear enough to see the cards on some. Here is what I pulled for 25 cents a pop:

TRADE STUFF & EBAY & WALGREENS & RETAIL
 |
| /99 |
 |
| Bowman has been good to me |
 |
| Really good |
 |
| I pulled this card without knowing what they were and scratched it. Yes, I am that stupid. I don't know the kid but I hope he sees the majors this year without 15 outfielders going down for the A's. Meanwhile, the Topps website to put in the code for these cards doesn't even work. EFF. |
 |
| Walgreens has been good to me too. |
 |
| 99 cents on ebay. The picture was terrible and it wasn't listed as an auto. BUT IT IS... |
