- Made a few more trades on TCDB. No major fiascos, but definitely some annoying stuff. Anyway, let's look at a few of the cards I got.
----- Sorry, Larry. Didn't see you there. :)
----- Same Name collection.
----- I like the pic.
----- Legend. (Seems like a good time to remind readers that my card images are form TCDB.)

- So my glasses broke and I tried three different places but nobody could fix them. So I bit the bullet and took the trolley to the mall / Lens Crafters for some new ones. Had to get an eye exam too, so no more piano lessons for Tommy.
- Anyway, while I was at the mall I checked out Target for the first time since March 2020. Sign limiting Pokemon buys to two per customer. No baseball, basketball, or football as I expected. There was Upper Deck hockey, in three different forms, and Parkside NWSL hanger boxes. Considered the latter, but I didn't see a price and I don't like asking (turns out it was $13.50 for 25 cards). However, I did buy a package of 25 nine-pocket pages. Slightly more than my dealer was charging when he had them, but not much more, and I was sick of waiting for him to restock.
- I also spent a delightful 20 minutes looking for a food court which no longer exists.
- Scored a free card from Kevin, the Diamond King. I feel like I keep adding cards of this guy to my collection, but I only have six.
- Chris the Collector is retiring. Feel free to go to his blog and bug him a bit.
The Deacon Jones is really cool!

DeleteA. I need to get my eyes checked. It's been a few years and they've gotten a lot worse.
ReplyDeleteB. Parkside NWSL hanger boxes are $13.50 at your Target? That's crazy. I paid around $10 for mine (at Target).
C. I love food court food.
D. Gonna miss Chris's posts.
E. Love Lefty.
G. My brother likes Steely Dan, so I inherited a few of their LP's.
I looked up the price when I got home. Thought I got it from Cardboard Connection, but apparently not. I'm seeing $9.99 listed as the pre-sale online price (sold out) and now $17.75 and up. So I don't know where I got $13.50 from.
DeleteSame name collections FTW. I have an early 80s Michael Jackson Seahawks card that is tempting me to branch out to other sports.
ReplyDeleteCurious if the tcdb troubles involve sellers using poor packaging and/or scotch tape.
They tend to be inexpensive usually.
DeleteNo. That is one issue I haven't had with my TCDB trades.
I think I'm just about done with TCDB trading, but I'll enjoy seeing what others were able to negotiate for.
