If You Gotta Cut...Cut here.

i am a huge fan of how this card turned out. as some of you may know, i am not partial to re-cut photos or cards as the medium for the signature in question. this one has such an iconic stance highlighted from the knees down. combine this with the chucks and socks and we are not only  looking at classic basketball posture, but fasion as well. sheer excellence in where to cut if you have to. [oh and my shift keys are crapped out so deal.] i bought one blaster of cut signatures and landed this...
'daffy' was realted to 'dizzy' dean, and made some fame for himself as well. wouldn't you know i was strapped for cash and sold it the next day for 120.00and change. if i were a retired/deceased auto collector this would never have left my hands. it is an awesome piece but i have to get used to only keeping a photo of some of my pulls.
next up;
pulls from the fall/winter; rack packs been berry berry good to me. eff you sammy.

I'll Take the $10 blaster: Best of Both Worlds

The freaks come out at night....


Longo mini
Beckett Black Gypsy-Back
Night SP Tulo,
and motherf%$king Buffalo Bill himself (easily one of the best cards in the set).



I've opened boxes of goodwin in the past, but only one hobby and maybe a blaster or two. This does not affect my love for this set. It has grown on me like a mediocre college campus, and despite the clogged-drain, full garbagecan, beautiful agony of the painting, have grown to feel at home in its arm-chair beige, multi-sport righteousness. I never had the pleasure of pulling a Night SP previous to this blaster, and so I was intimately aware of what I was looking for/that which I had not seen in person until the opening of the box. I love it. Little did I know that this was the beginning of a little bit of a roll I was on (more to follow in $10 bargain bin blaster endeavors) I am am not so much a hockey fan as I am a fan of Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Patrick Roy, and most of all, OVI. sick pulls. Roy was inspiring as "une habitante", and I was honored to have opened this box.

UD Anny Patrick Roy Game-Used Jersey

Thank you, bargain Bin.
