Puzzled, What's in Papa Jack's Box?

I don't have down time. Nobody does, at least nobody should. The world is just too busy these days. Even with the monotony of everyday life I was able to work on a couple small projects. Papa Jack dropped a load of junk wax long ago and again repeatedly through the last months and I found some treasures within the treasure. I always told myself someday I would put together a puzzle set from one of the 80's card sets. Well there is no time like the present. Especially when the pieces arrive bundled together begging to be assembled.

I wish I could say I relaxed by a fire on a cold night with a hot cocoa and enjoyed building these puzzles. They were actually not that easy. The pieces do not match up all that well and each puzzle had 6 of every piece except for one it seemed. Anyway, I was able to build three puzzles and am currently look for pieces for the DiMaggio and other puzzles.

I have enough pieces left over of each to make probably at least 3 more puzzles of every one. If anyone wants a fulls set hit me up.

National Bird Day...You know where this is going

GONE TOO SOON

I may have been born a few decades late but back when I was younger and pitching a handful of cards adorned the inside of my locker. Mark Fidrych was one. His life, much like his career was much too short but; his legend will live on in Tigers lore and my PC.

Go GTS Live and a Changeup...

GO GTS LIVE - Do you watch?

We are in a wonderful time to be in the hobby. I know card collecting has a natural ebb and flow but right now we are as technologically advanced in collecting as ever before. This gives us countless mediums to share our hobby such as Podcasts, Web Shows, and Blogs. Twitter was painted with advertising for a web show called Go GTS Live around Christmas time. The apparent web show was going to have a special Christmas Spectacular to reach new listeners and spread some holiday cheer. I'm a sucker for a good giveaway and these guys had stacks of boxes to give out. Plus, they were busting boxes and talking cards. I tuned in to check it out and it was pretty entertaining. I got to see a lot of product fresh from the box that I hadn't seen. The guys involved seemed pretty cool. The topics were fresh and correlated with many of the collecting topics being posted around the hobby scene. I watched the entire show that night up until the last ten minutes when I finally decided to put Nolan to bed. Wouldn't you know; I won a giveaway as soon as I turned it off. The guys were nice enough to message me that I had won a card they had pulled on the air. I would recommend watching these guys sometime, even if I hadn't been given a free card. They have videos of old shows posted online. I am going to try to watch them tonight but life with a 3 year old is not that predictable.

TIME FOR A CHANGE UP

This is probably my shortest post. I typically spew a whole bunch of topics into one super long post once or twice a week. I have a ton of stuff to post about so instead of making one post that takes 10 minutes to get through, next week I am going to try a bunch of small posts maybe everyday. I will see what the view tally looks like after the week as I know a lot of people only hit up the blogs one day a week when they find time. I worry some posts will just get washed away into history without anyone seeing them before the next one posts. Anyway, make sure you stop by my blog more often next week or check to see new posts you might have missed. I have some good stuff coming!
