Hey guys - just a quick note to let you know I have updated my page for 2012 Gypsy Queen. If you're looking to pick up some base or even some inserts, check out the lists to the right or drop me an email at ryansdugout@gmail.com and I'd be more than happy to swap with you as I work off my own lists!
Hope your wax busting has been full of hits and as always - thanks for reading!

"That's How We Roll..."
Another generous member of my new fraternity went above and beyond the call of duty when he answered my S.O.S. call for help in completing my '91 Fleer base set. That's right, Captain Canuck, our favorite Waxaholic, snuck an entire box of cards off my bloated NEEDS list across the border - and I understand the proverbial postal dogsled completed this run in record time!
Oh yes....can't wait to file and cross off those bad boys. But, wait?! What's that? WAX PACKS - from my era. What a nice surprise. '90 Fleer and '91 Score to be exact:
A lot of fun. I couldn't wait to tear into them (as you might be able to tell, I couldn't even wait until I snapped that picture). Here were the highlights from each one:
Fantastic fun. Thank you, Canuck!
Asking for nothing specific in return beyond a "just take a look through my lists", he single handedly brought my '91 Fleer quest into its final leg. It should also be noted - his selfless, LONG DISTANCE shipment of those base cards undoubtedly exceeded the 'cost' of what any of us could probably pay for a COMPLETE '91 Fleer set off of Ebay or the local flea market. The effort was completely illogical, BUT - like the Captain quipped to one of Waxaholic's faithful Lieutenants after one of his posts -
"That's how we roll."
I concur, Cap'n.......this is how we roll and I am enjoying every second of it. Collectors helping other collectors with their pursuits. Card by card (or in this case, box by box). Because the story and 'players' involved in the 20+ year completion of this '91 Fleer set will be so much more colorful than a non-competitive bid on some junk wax from the Bay of E. Indeed, this is how we roll.
Thank you for your generosity! Another example of what I love about this hobby. There will be some cardboard headed north SOON. The dogs just wanted to grab some BBQ before they turned around.
Thanks for reading!

Series 1 Help From 30YOC
Okay- time to stop basking in the glow of STTM1's first return....
Let's recap a recent, generous and much appreciated offering from Brian over at 30YOC! Brian sent some 2012 Topps Series 1 from my NEEDS list. Of course, "some" in his vocabulary means THREE team bags worth!
Here's the highlights:
The 2012 NEEDS/FOR TRADE lists have been updated - let me know if you're interested in swapping!
Thank you, Brian! And congratulations to 30YOC on recently celebrating its 6,000th post.
Yes......SIX THOUSAND! Hear, hear!

| Why do I think of Full Metal Jacket when I look at this? |
