Lynning!

Oh yeah. I think this one's coming to baseball. Just like in basketball where there was a player with the same last name as Lance Lynn. Jeremy Lin came from nowhere and shocked the world with his fantastic play with an orange ball.

Well, this time it is with a white ball. Ok well here's what I'm trying to get to. Lance Lynn is having a super duper fantastic year so far. He has gone 5-1. And to celebrate his amazing start I will show you my awesome Lance Lynn collection.

I don't have that many, but it's still growing.

With further or due here is the Lance Lynn collection.













And for the best part. The autos.



Well there's you have it people. The pride and joy of my collection. If you have any Lance Lynn's that I did not show up above please get a hold of me at cardscrush99@yahoo.com or leave a comment below.

Thanks for reading. Have a great time blogging! :)

Its Been Awhile

I know, I haven't posted in awhile, but with school finishing up it is never easy. I'll try a little harder to get some more posts in when I can.

Besides not posting I have been cranking out the TTM's and following my beloved St. Louis Cardinals. Adam Wainwright almost threw a no hitter. So did Shelby Miller. Pretty crazy now that I think about it. Back to back complete game one hit shutouts against the Colorado Rockies that have been struggling to say the least.

Not only are Wainwright and Miller doing a good job on the bump, but my man Lance Lynn is 5-1. I'm kind of feeling a 2012 season coming back for him. Hot start to the season and then the flame is off. I hope that's not the case because he's a monster.

Speaking of Lance Lynn, I picked up this in a pack the other day.



Oh yeah. This one would have been hard to get if I hadn't pulled it from that pack. Hopefully, there's more where that came from.

How are your collections doing? I know mine have kind of slowed since Bowman and whatever else is out there isn't what I'm really in to. I have a feeling that will grab a blaster or something of that sort to open of it, but I don't think I'll so much more that that.

Well, I hope everybody has a great time blogging! See ya.

2013 Topps Opening Day!

I know I'm somewhat late, but my Walmart didn't have Opening Day until like know. Of course though, I don't go to Walmart too much.

I really liked what they did this year with Opening Day. The inserts look super cool.

There are 7 inserts sets, maybe. That's what I counted from the 2 blaster boxes that I busted. Here's what all of them look like. They look pretty sweet.

Ballpark Fun


Blues (#d to 2013)


Mascots


Opening Day Highlights


Opening Day Stars


Play Hard


Superstar Celebrations


I've kind of warmed up to the Superstar Celebrations inserts. In 2011 & 2012 Opening Day I didn't really card for the designs on them and that just kind of drew me away from them. This year I really like the design and I love the photography.

Wait I forgot. Of course, Toys R Us has to ruin all the fun with these.


Ugh, go away Toys R Us you make collecting too difficult.

I have to say though I was so excited when I opened my two blasters worth. Here I'll just have to show you what I pulled. (These are for trade)




 This was just really bad luck on my part, but you get 1 Opening Day Highlights insert in every blaster and just my luck I got two Opening Day Highlights of Jay Bruce.

Again all of these are for trade, so if you would like any of them just let me know. I have all of my Opening Day want lists posted already in my want lists. Thanks for reading and have a great time blogging
everybody! :)
