$30 Habits

The trade ban had barely lifted before the flood gates opened in Cracked Bat territory.  The packages find their way to me, even waaaaay out in the woods.


I hadn't traded with Toronto fan, Robert,  for more than a year two years.  What is wrong with me? [Rhetorical.] He dropped an envelope in the mail from sunny, warm Florida.  [Seems he'd moved too.]   Having loose Tigers around your place is never a good thing, especially if you're a blue jay. No worries.  I'll always take those cats off your hands.  

2017 Stadium Club: a still smiling Miggy,  slumping but happy to collect his paycheck.

One at bat = $49,423.

2017 Topps:  it may take some time - years in fact - to reach the 3000 plateau.



Rookies who hit a homer in their first MLB at bat become highly collectible, right?  I haven't pursued JaCoby's cards.  In fact, I count on you to send them!   I hope he does well.  This team needs fresh blood!




Robert topped it off with this fat manu-patch.  I like these a lot.  The bright blue vinyl patchy thing is cool.  It smells too - a bit like an inflatable kiddie pool toy.  Sorry it's taken so long to trade!  Let's do this more often Robert!  

You can find him blogging about his habits here.  $30 a week?  That won't buy 4 packs of Stadium Club anymore.

  1. Jacoby looks like he just realized someone pulled out the chair he was about to sit on. Whoops!

  2. Not good for us working stiffs to start computing "pay per ____" for our favorite athletes.
