2 out of the 3 weeks so far this year I've failed to make a card related purchase, so I'm actually building up a nice little reserve; hopefully I'll figure out what to do with that extra cash without making some kind of boneheaded purchase.
Meanwhile, I'm still doing my diligence, working on getting the Blue Jays want list up to date. In addition, the massive pile of Blue Jay cards on my desk is starting to shrink a bit. I managed to add a dozen or so cards to the spreadsheet last night, including a couple of trios.
First off, 3 cards that I was able to mark off the behemoth that is the 2008 UD Documentary set.
I've received 27 cards out of the 162 card monster that is the 2008 Blue Jays season. If there's anyone out there that was "crazy" enough to go after this entire set, I tip my cap to you. I can only imagine what the final product is going to look like.
One set that I don't see get a lot of love on the blogs is 2003 Topps...
I like the blue borders, and I think it's about time that Topps try using a colored border again on one of their base sets. That might be a little tough now that I think about it, what with red/blue/pink/black/gold/you name the color parallels being the norm in today's sets.
Maybe we can bring back the yellow that '91 Fleer used?? That might be the only color left.
Until Series 1 is released, it's probably going to be Jays related posts for the foreseeable future. With a few trades due in over the next couple of weeks, there should be some more blue bird related cardboard to talk about.
thanks for reading, Robert
