After selling my first card on Ebay, a 2012 Topps Skip Schumaker Squirrel SP card, I decided to reward myself by joining a group box break hosted by
The Daily Dimwit. Feeling really adventurous I took a chance on the Nationals, knowing that 2 of the 3 boxes were from the early 90's and I would be stuck with all the Expos cards from those boxes! The final box was a 2012 Topps Triple Thread so basically I spent $20 on the opportunity to pull a Strasburg or Harper. I didn't like my odds but I defiantly like the idea of spending $20 for the chance to get some great TTT cards rather than the $190 it would take a buy the box. Was it worth it? YES!!!! Not because I pulled great cards (I didn't) but the excitement of watching the packs being opened online. I'm kinda embarrassed by how excited I was. I would look forward to watching the YouTube video every night of the break.
So my total take in the break were (2) 2001 Absolute Memorabilia cards, #145 Jose Vidro and #139 Fernando Tatis.
Both are available in case there are any big Expos fans out there. Just e-mail me and they are yours. No big hits for me this time but a lot of entertainment value! Thanks to the Daily Dimwit for a great experience!
