Last week, I got a flu shot. No big deal. I've gotten them the past few years since I became a dad and my kid (now kids) are walking germs. I say that in a nice way, of course.
What was weird is that this year, my arm bruised like hell after the shot. I'm talking baseball-sized black, blue, and purple. It looks like I took a Randy Johnson fastball to bicep. It's now in that ugly green and yellow phase. I've never had that sort of reaction to a shot. It was odd, for sure.
Similarly, my newest Ty Hensley cards share these characteristics. Behold, #'s 39 and 40 in my Hensley PC. That Purple Ice is so, so pretty. #'d 9/10 too! The blue, while pretty in it's own right, is #'d to 99.
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.
Hope that bruise heals soon man.
ReplyDeleteAnd nice pickups. You might finish the rainbow before me.
You have the Superfractor! I can't compete with that.
DeleteI got the flu shot, too. The guy who gave it too me was bragging about his technique and how you can't really feel the needle going in. He was right, I didn't feel a thing, but it also left a good-sized bruise.
ReplyDeleteStill totally worth it if I don't get the flu.
The purple ice is sharp. Nice get.
