Scoring from My Dealer

 


Stopped by Target and grabbed a 2024 Score football blaster.  

 


-  132 cards for $25 plus tax, which brough it to 27-something.

-  Decent fronts, but the photos tend to be isolated shots.  

-  My pull was heavy on 49ers and Cowboys, which is never good.  No dupes though. 

-  I attended the same high school as DaRon Bland, though I won't admit how far apart we were. 

-  4 League Leaders cards.

-  2 First Ballot cards.

-  6 parallels:  4 Green, 1 Lava (SN630), and 1 Pink.  

-  The front of the Lava Vrabel isn't up on TCDB so you get the back.  

-  The rookie cards are in my contest box, as they're in their college unis.

-  The ho cards are in my contest box:  Sack Attack and Celebration.

World Series Contest Winners and Prize Instructions

 


Thanks to Freddie Freeman, there were a lot of wrong guesses.

Gerrit Cole of the losing Yankees was the Innings Pitched Minus Earned Runs winner and the only correct guess in the contest.  The following entrants picked him:

The Angels In Order

Matt

Bo


So those are the three contest winners.  

I have addresses for all three.  So unless somebody moved recently, I should be able to avoid logging onto my email. 


There are a few mascot cards and a few minor leaguers who went on to have decent MLB careers.  So if you won and you want either or both of those, let me know in the comments.  The priority order is the order I received the entries, as listed above.

Movies for Halloween

 


 











One of my favorite horror movies, and it's about a witch.

Too on-point to be excluded. 












If you like your horror mixed with comedy. 

If you like your horror mixed with Jennifer Love Hewitt.



 








Not really horror, but witches.











The horror of writer's block.  And ghosts.











Such a boss move to pick a street that every major U.S. city has.  











Zero degrees of Kevin Bacon.











Has there been better casting than Krysten Ritter as a vampire?












If you live in a castle, it's important to have a nice set of knockers. 

Can't ignore the O.G.

Scoring from My Dealer

 


I hit up COMC:  put a big dent in my hockey frankensets and grabbed a few football cards as well.  Let's gaze upon a sampling.
