Topical Trade Bait Post!

Gavin is 100% correct.  I’ve got tons of stuff to move, though barring unexpected commission money or eBay sales or something, I’m already pretty tapped out for January.  I’d definitely like to set some trades in motion that can be pieced together over the rest of the month and go out at the start of February, …

BenchWarmer Eclectic

Let’s send 2015 out on a high, with the final pre-Black Friday box: Benchwarmer Eclectic!  These things are hella monsterbeasts, I tell ya. 8-9 guaranteed hits + 60(!) packs, mostly from the days before Leaf came along and ruined things by turning Benchwarmer into an an almost exclusively high end affair.  Said packs usually drop …

Marvel Dangerous Divas Series 2

The next box in my gun-jumping Blowout Order, and definitely my favorite.  I mean, it had a sketch card in it, so the other two boxes would’ve had to have been ridiculous to surpass this baby (or conversely, a Ryan Waterhouse-esque abomination of a sketch card, the likes of which fortunately don’t seem to exist …

The Art of Wrestling Vol. 1

As I write this, day has barely even started to break.  It is Monday though (my humble apologies for the reminder).  While RAW is usually terrible these days, this is still the day for pro wrestling.  So it seems like the right time to unleash my first ongoing series on the unsuspecting masses.  Being a big fan of pro graps sort of …

Anime-Centric Sketch Cards!

I didn’t really want to post this yet, because my most recent post was also art of my own making.  Things are also going to get extremely sketch cardy around here for the next little bit.  Alas, this is the draft that’s most ready to go, so today you get some old sketch cards I …

Star Wars

It has finally happened.  No more waiting.  The Force Awakens is here.  I made a couple pieces of art out of it over the past few months.  Enjoy. Until our next…

Breakdown Trade

I suppose it’s somehow appropriate that amongst my first posts of note after my unceremonious return to WordPress would be a small trade with Gavin of Breakdown Cards, considering how prone to mental/emotional breakdowns I am.  Even the brief move to Tumblr was arguably the result of one.  He’s also had a noteworthy influence on the way …

2015 Panini Prizm Box Break

I got antsy and couldn’t wait until Black Friday to buy some cards, so I bought three boxes and a hit pack on Blowout.  It’s okay though.  The prices were plenty decent, and I didn’t end up seeing anything else in later waves or on Black Friday itself that were anymore compelling to me than the …

The Shot Not Taken Connection

Ray has easily been my most frequent trading partner over the years, and we made another deal that finally came to fruition earlier this month.  So it’s only right that he be part of my first wave of posts now that I’m back on a more fully functional blogging platform.  We both collect a little …

Back from Outer Space

Heyo, the former Lonestarr here.  My very brief Tumblr experiment failed, so here I am, back on WordPress.  Turns out I like having the option for meatier, scan-heavy posts even though I don’t really intend to do them very often going forward, and Tumblr just wasn’t really built for that.  Of course, little as ever managed …
