2001 Topps Opening Day Golden Moments #156

1991 Bowman #410

I can't believe what Topps did!!!

A few months back I bought a hobby box of 2009 Topps Updates & Highlights. While opening the packs I noticed that 1 pack only had 7 cards and another only had 8 cards instead of the promised 10 cards. I finally got around to calling the customer service number on the back of the packs last week. I told the guy on the phone about the 2 packs of 2009 Topps Updates & Highlights and how many cards they were missing. He asked for my address and said he would send me a pack. I thanked him and hung up. Today in the mail I got a package in the mail from Topps. I opened it up and was immediatly surprized to find not one but 2 packs. But then to my horror I discovered that they were Club Penguin Topps cards. Why the heck would Topps send me these packs as a replacement for 2009 Topps Baseball Updates & Highlights cards? Come on Topps! That is rediculous! Why would they think that someone who buys baseball cards would be interested in Club Peguin cards? I tried calling the 800 number, but they were already closed for the day. Anybody else ever had something like this happen?

Cards so cool...I don't have to write anything! (Card #10)

What's next...an ultrasound?

I recently purchased a few packs of 2010 Topps and pulled this When They Were Young insert of Russell Martin. Come on Topps! What's next...an ultrasound? I'm sorry, but I don't want to look at baby pictures when I open a pack of baseball cards!

Roll out the D-Backs!

Ed, of the blog Roll out the Barrel, and I recently completed a trade. He got some Brewers and I got some D-Backs. The original trade was for 3 Brandon Webb cards that I didn't already have. Ed added some other sweet Diamondback cards! Thanks Ed!

Cameron of the blog Cardboard Heaven contacted me after looking at my 2010 card collecting goals and offered me some cards for my want lists. So we worked out a trade.

3 Brandon Webb cards - Unfortunatly all doubles, but I am convinced that I will run into another Webb collector and we will be able to trade all of our doubles.
