What Now?

Any suggestions as to what I should do with these? The most tempting card in this set doesn't really excite me the way it might have when I was a teenager. I guess Griffey didn't really go out on top. This is one of the most cheaply made and mass produced sets of all-time. I feel like there are about 800,000 unopened boxes of this product still floating around the planet, just waiting for someone to take a chance on a perfectly centered, mint condition rookie card of a guy that was amazing and is a sure fire Hall of Famer. He didn't make anyone forget about Willie Mays or Mickey Mantle, though.

I don't know. Repacks... why do I fall for them?

At least I didn't post the Eric Gagne jersey card that came with these packs.

Christmas is Cancelled

Portland has been a total disaster this week. A historically crazy snowstorm seems to have limited most holiday activities and has wreaked havoc on my work schedule as well. Consequently, I have counted at least 8 packages I still need to send out to people. Making it to work unfortunately became more of a priority to me than making it to the post office, so people that I owe packages to will unfortunately have to wait a bit more.

If you're one of the people that is expecting minor league cards from me but has yet to receive them, you're on the list (there are 5 of you.) If you are a particularly generous blogger who didn't ask me for anything, you're also on the list (there are 2 of you.) If your last name is Slette and you really like Andy Pettitte, you're also on the list, although your package isn't completely put together yet. If you aren't any of those people, or even if you are, I hope you have a happy holiday and hope that your sidewalks are shoveled.
