LOYAL TO THE CARD GAME


there was a card show in SF this weekend, and it was my first one in probably 6-7 years, i'm not really sure. it was amazing. i think there are 2 things that will always interest me, no matter what. poker and sports cards. i remember when i was younger, there were 2 things that made me so excited to where it was hard to go to sleep the night before (besides christmas): it was going fishing, and going to a card show. i wanted to buy a box of 2011 bowman and try and pull a bryce harper auto, but the boxes were a little too expensive, like $185 i think.. i settled for for 2010 topps chrome baseball for $45, got home to open it. you get 2 autos per box. i got a wade davis and jon link auto. the jon link was a refractor #/499. WHOTHEFUCK! exactly, so i check ebay and i can literally sell them for a combined $3 if i was fortunate enough. sweet, booked a solid $42 loss. that was fun, then i look online for other topps chrome cards, and jason heyward autos were selling for $22. sooooo, i could have bought 2 heyward autos instead of my sick davis and link auto. sweet.

but i think i'm officially back in the card game. it's so sick, card collecting is just gambling for underage kids. buying a box is like lotto scratchers, only in this case, you can't win no matter what. but whatever, hobby is a hobby.

I had a dream where I actually said “I just wish this was a dream” in my dream. i don't think that's ever happened. i thought that was impossible or against the rules or something

bodog is slowly dying. first they change their address from bodog.com to bodog.eu. then they say they are having delays processing withdraws. then i emailed them again today and they replied with this "This delay is the result of some holidays in the UK and Canada on these past days that affected the availability of our provider to keep this timeframe."
