Duelling Autos:"Jeets" and "Tulo"....jeez...

Upon first glance, you would notice several differences in the representation each of these gentlemen has chosen to afford you.
Old, young.
Signed 455 cards for SPA, Signed 75 cards for SPA(numbers not exact)

Mr. Loopety loop, "go-shop-around for 2011" comes out looking like the hero here.
Tulo's sig is just that. a sig. not an autograph per se.

bap-bap-bapbapbap-bapbapbapbap-TU-LO! (I dig that.)

I stumbled upon quite a few Tulo autos breaking in 2007 and have been hoarding them in hopes of an injury-free true breakout season. (fingers crossed)
I, We, the royal We, are tired of "Jeets" and his slow arm and bat.
I, We, the royal We, want more Tulo with his across-the-chest fastball and (albeit more consistent) swing.

well, that's what I want. "Sign of the Times" I guess...TULO!

Cheers To Teachers In Space: I was home sick and saw the whole thing unfold...good gracious

Thank you seven for being a big deal to me. maybe the Beardman may turn you into a masterpiece more radiant than the full moon.

RIP

Injured Reserve Packers: "Not Pictured" in the Yearbook...

This is just wrong.

I don't care about rules, flights, lodging or food. What reasoning could possibly make this acceptable to team-mates and coaches? These guys didn't suffer for your success, they lost their season physically trying to achieve just that. Barnett's quote about the picture of [Ray] Nitschke being his motivation reminds me of the picture my dad kept in his office of Vince Lombardi and how he told me that leadership, fellowship and competition are about mutual respect and a love for the game. I know Nick Barnett loves his game. I love his game.
Get these 16 guys in the pic one way or another...more tweets Nick and Fin, let's make a proper fuss about this until we actually have to play a game.
You all have to know how insanely sick I am of pre-game talk and analysis. I never knew I would be more sick of it when it's my team in it...just wears me out.
post my ass on the edge of the seat on sunday and let's hit it.

I want a photo including some of the sickest players the packers have fielded to go next to my 97 picture of an (IMO an equally talented team-God I miss Reggie White)...c'mon, guys WTF?

Ones That Got Away: Jim Palmer 2005 Origins

There are only three reasons why I am ok with having let this go(despite having no money at all)
1. Jim has an insane sig and I want the right version of it for my collection, and I've seen better.
2. Jim has a relatively extensive on-card selection to chose from
3. I f&^king hate the little glove. history be damned, that cutesy little diorama sucks except for the banner.

Done and Done: NFC Championship



Da fails.

LET'S GET IT ON.

May this be my formal apology for completely alienating any readers by obsessing over the Green Bay Packers. My dad would be proud that I am making as much fuss as feels comfortable.


here we go...

Packers Parade Of Playoff Heroes: Had To Be Done

My "rainbow" of 2010 topps chrome Aaron Rodgers Refractors. I do not care for Xfractors and do not collect them. I do however have no standard chrome to show off, so you'll have to cross your eyes to get the "double rainbow" effect(found out what "double rainbow" was all about...total letdown)

RED #07/25, Gold #47/50, Blue #006/199, Purple #053/555, Wally Orange, Standard.

if you have seen any other chrome colors, you come to this guy. I barely paid for these due to some fortunate auction endings and the Blue and standard pull are what got me going. It took less than a 2weeks with shipping.
never did that before. Probably won't again. I have collected parallels of some cards, but this is sorta rediculous. Hot, but rediculous.
I am goin for broke here...who knows what will happen come 3pm. we're meeting our arch-bully out back of the school, but we're hot and ready for a streetfight.
