2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

For those of you who didn't know, I am also a big sportscard collector. In fact, I have a sportscard blog that has been collecting dust on the interwebs, longing for some new cardboard content. It's not that I've stopped collecting. I just don't do it as often. These days I'm buying singles on ebay, staying away from the expensive and expansive selection of packs that clutter the card aisles at my local Target. And forget about buying cards at Walmart. Everything is locked up behind glass cases and the key- holding employee is always nowhere to be found. I'm not sure how they stay in business. Anyways, here are some of the singles I've picked up over the past couple of months.  I'm not even a hockey fan but how do you consider yourself a sportscard collector and not have at least one card of " The Great One" . Ten straight seasons with 1,000 plus receiving yards! Not too shabby. 

I am far from a completist when it comes to collecting. I don't feel the need to have every figure from any one  particular line. Instead, I gravitate towards certain versions of characters that I like the look of, grew up with or that have made some kind of a childhood impression on me. This version of the Hulk did just that back in '88 in issue #344  of McFarlanes "The Incredible Hulk". I'm too lazy to go into specifics about it now but if you get the chance, give it a read.
