I got my Sportlots package yesterday. I was going to open it and sort it tomorrow but instead, I get to go to work. Another unnecessary Saturday wasted at work. Since I won't have all day to work on cards tomorrow, I decided to go ahead and open up my box and at least get them sorted. The wife was bored and asked if I wanted her to help open envelopes. Hell yes! I had 64 packages, 292 cards, in that box and I definitely welcomed the help. My favorite question was "Why did you get 2 of the same card?" My response was "Are they the same card?" to which she responded after really looking at it "Oh, I guess not." Welcome to the wonderful world of parallels.
I still have to get through the cards Dennis sent me and I have a few more posts left so I got time to get the Sportlots package together plus I need to scan the cards from Fred (guy at work).
This is my 25th card of Darboh, I really need to search out more Elite cards. Dennis always shows off some great cards from Elite and they use college uni's which is right up my alley. I like this card because it has the block M on it, I always like seeing that on a card.
I can only imagine how "fun" it would be to try to explain the point of buying parallels, especially the extremely subtle ones, to a non-card person.
ReplyDeleteI did a brief explanation and she responded with a sarcastic "and you have to have every one." Made me feel stupid.
