Instagram Purchase - 2008 Topps Red Hot Rookie Chris Davis

Well, he may not be red hot at the moment, but Chris Davis is still one of my favorite players.  He is batting .202 at the moment and not looking good at all at the plate.  Anyway, I bought this 2008 Topps Red Hot Rookie Chris Davis off of a kid on Instagram and got it a few days ago.

I completely forgot that Davis had one of these cards, so when I saw that it was available, I jumped on it.

Also, I apologize for my spotty posting lately.  The place I'm at has very questionable wifi, so it is tough for me to get online on my laptop.  I'll keep trying to get posts up, but no promises.

Also, Nolan Reimold was claimed by the Blue Jays.  I'm happy he will get a chance, but I dislike the Blue Jays.  I'll get over that if it means that Nolan can prolong his career.  Good luck to him and I hope that he can play well and gain a better contract for next season.

Opening Day - and Opened Some Mail

Today should be a national holiday. Opening Day for baseball. Wooo. All teams (except for the Yankees hahahahaha) are starting out in first place. Optimism is high. I am so excited about this season. The Orioles are going to surprise a lot of people. I'm looking for Brian Matusz to dominate and become the Orioles' first Rookie of The Year since Gregg Olson was in 1989.

I also opened some mail Saturday and today. Here is a little bit from the two packages I received:

First off, I got a package from B. A. Benny in exchange for some Mets cards... I've been wanting this Montanez Red Hot Rookie for some time. I'm glad I finally have it. I REALLY want the Reimold next. If anyone has it, send me an email. I will definitely be up for trading for it!!! I love this shot of Lou. I sure hope he caught the ball.

Ooohhhh, a STICK relic. You can never go wrong with sending me Nick Markakis stuff. He is AWESOME! I'm sure I didn't have this one. If I did, thats ok too.

Hey, look, a Cal I didn't have! It is getting so hard to figure out which Cal's I have and which I don't. This is a 1986 Fleer mini. I'm not sure if I have the regular sized one either. For some reason, I don't think I have it...

I bought a few cards recently too and here are a few that I got...

A 1966 Topps Al Kaline. This Kaline was purchased for *ahem* a friend of mine ;). I think he will enjoy it...

A 2010 Topps Opening Day Brian Roberts. I don't anticipate buying any packs of OD, so I went ahead and bought a couple of the cards I knew I'd want.

Got another Nick The Stick as well. I've never been a huge fan of Topps OD. It just seems like an ancillary set (one we can do without).

Has everyone (other than Yankee fans) enjoyed Opening Day of the 2010 MLB season? It's too bad that the Os don't open until tomorrow... Soon enough, I suppose.

Ridiculocity at its finest...

I got this Red Hot Rookie Redemption today and am pretty pissed off... Totally trashed. It takes a lot to crack a top loader... totally ridiculous. Add this to how long it took to get them... Gaaahhh.
