By the time all three of you read this post, I'll be on the road, heading to New Hampshire with my wife and kids on a week-long vacation. I need it. Between a busy last few weeks at work, and closing on the new house (which we just did on Monday!), life has been chaotic. On second thought, going on vacation with a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old isn't exactly relaxing.
Three years ago, I found a great local card shop in Laconia, NH. I went to go there last year, but timed it poorly and arrived before the store was open. I didn't have enough time to go back, so I missed out. CLICK HERE to read about my experience at the card shop last time. I'm hoping they still have those $1 grab bags. If they do, I'm going to snag a bunch, and maybe hold a contest for one or two.
Anyhow, over the weekend I swung by Walgreen's to grab some items for the trip, and of course had to check out the toy aisle for some new repacks. I found one, and decided to grab it.
While I didn't snag an autograph like last time, I did come away with a few decent cards.
And this re-packer was clearly a Javy Lopez fan. I've never seen this Topps Stars set.
Overall, not the best $5 I've spent, but I've also had worse re-packs/
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.
