Even though my favorite card is the Bowman Batum (produced by Topps) and my current set that I collect is Murad (also by Topps), I really don't feel any attachment to the brand that has become so synonymous with sports cards. I'll continue to collect my favorites - with a passion - but in the end, my future in collecting past Murad will involve, most likely, Panini.
And it's a change. But a good one. If you haven't fallen in love with the World Cup sticker books, then you have no passion for soccer. Shame on you. Panini also brought us a straight forward basketball base set to collect this year. No gimmicks. No mystery cards. Just base, autos and some attractive inserts. Really, I think I'll take my chances.
And a while back I redeemed a code on the Million Card giveaway. I haven't sent for it yet. Can you imagine why?
Yeah, thanks but no thanks. I'll stick to basketball this year.

Hey Guy--just curious, you gonna be at the Jantzen Beach show this weekend?
No. I'm going to have to work. I'll have weekends off near the end of summer. I plan on hitting some shows then.
Alright, cool! I just made a deal for two Roy autos for $18 :)
How many stickers come in each pack? I saw them at the dollar store a register over...might have to stop back and try and get a set.
I believe it's 8 or 9 a pack, I can't remember. And the book will cost a couple of bucks. But it's fun.
There's a whole group of guys at my job putting the set together - guys who've never bought cards in their life. And they're hooked. Everybody brings in their dupes daily to trade. It's reall a lot of fun.
