Start following someone that talks about crap you don't want to read about? The mute button works fantastic.
The major reasons that I use twitter are for sports, and for cards. Simple. I want fun on my down time, not stuff that's going to depress me or make me angry.
Last weekend, my good buddy AJ from the Lost Collector turned on the Twitter card world (me especially) to a code that eBay was providing for $5 off of any transaction valued at $5.01 or more.
PERKMEUP was the code.
Immediately I went hunting for Joe Sakic cards. $5 off of a nice limited parallel would help the Sakic collection.
2001/02 Pacific Atomic gold die-cut parallel. It's a shame that Beckett doesn't list Pacific in their monthly guide, so I have to use COMC as a rough estimate. The red parallel version (#'d to 290) of this card on COMC is right at $5.25, so I think I did OK with this purchase as....
the gold parallel is #'d out of 200. The seller had this up for $5.99 with free shipping, so after the $5 Perk Me Up discount, I got this card for 99 cents.
Can't beat that with a stick....thank you AJ!
Thanks for reading, Robert
