REY ORDONEZ COLLETION
(updated 7/20/10)
Rey was the first player that I tried to collect everything that I could find. Well thanks to the smattering of parallels I don't think I'll ever complete that task...but I do hope to fill in a few holes. Here is list that I'm still searching for. If you have anything from this list please let me know. I'll buy or trade.
** list still being built **

Trade completed!
I'm still new at this whole blog trading thing, but BA Benny helped me complete my 2nd trade since I started my blog. I sent him some Mets & Yankees cards I had recently pulled and he in return he sent me some nice Braves cards and even a few Red Sox cards that I wasn't expecting!
As instructed by the wife I had clear the dining room table of the piles and piles of cards and I forgot to scan in these cards I received to post here.
If anyone has a player or team you collect please let me know and I'll gladly set them aside and send you whatever I come across. Even if you don't have any players/team I collect you can still have 'em...I'm that nice!

"New" baseball cards found @ Dollar Tree
The wife sent me in today @ the local Dollar Tree to pick up some birthday wrapping paper and tape and what did I find on a little 4 sided island as I walk in the door? Several different gravity feeders w/ baseball, football, basketball and non-sports trading card packs! I can remember years and years ago dollar stores carrying early 90's cards randomly thrown in small bags. This was a nice surprise.
I didn't have time to really take in everything they had, but I did grab a few packs of 2008 Upper Deck Documentary and 2008 Upper Deck X. I never bought any of the Documentary stuff so I wanted to see what it was like first hand. Wow, I had no idea this set was so freakin' large! I did pick up a pack or two of the 2008 X Baseball and liked what I saw. I didn't have any "hits" per se (best card was a die-cut parallel of Pujols from 2008 X) so these cards will be going on my trade list if anyone is interested. Out of the 5 packs I was surprised that I didn't pull one single Braves. Oh well, now that I know they are selling packs I'll be dropping by more often.

The agony of waiting!
One more week. I've got several things to look forward too one week from today. First off it's Easter so I'm looking forward to church (like every Sunday), then we get to celebrate all of the Easter festivites for the first time with my 6 mo. old daughter and lastly - the beginning of the 2010 Major League Baseball season w/ the Atlanta Braves taking on the Chicago Cubs the very next day!
At least I don't have to wait until Monday, April 5th as the family is headed to the local AAA team to see the Charlotte Knights take on the Chicago White Sox. Then I get the see the Braves beat the White Sox the very next night on TV.
One more week. Just have to make it through one more week!

Only one card today and it's beautiful shiny refractor of a former Braves player. I don't normally buy former Braves players, but Steve Avery cards don't seem to be that plentiful (at least on eBay) and I'm a sucker for refractors. Worth the $1.00 purchase price.
Michaelcats?
So it looks like the local NBA team as a new owner in Michael Jordan. So far it seems like people's opinion's are mixed. Most could care less who owns the team as long as the team on the court is putting up wins.
The other debate is whether or not the team should be revamped and renamed. I never was a fan of the name Bobcats to begin with so I wouldn't mind if the name were changed. I do like the orange and better yet the dark blue uniforms.
So I'll take this question to the blog masses. If you were Michael Jordan, would you change the team's name? If so, what to?
