Allure is consistently one of my favorite products. Even the base cards are very well done. Scooped up the last two boxes from my card shop last night while hunting for Celebrini - more than happy with the return!

Been more than a minute but have been quietly enjoying the hobby between me and those at my local shop. Before I get to more of a routine, best thing lately that has brought me joy?

Hockey. Can't explain how much fun it has been to dive back in with Upper Deck. Picking up cheap, great looking singles has been the best part. Finally got some pack luck and they are some big ones!

Anyone else ripping more hockey nowadays? Always looking for Penguins for my PC! Will be in the market for Crosby & Malkin autos shortly.

Mail day this week from my personal favorite Oriole and my future favorite big leaguer. Don't get me wrong, ripping packs is one of my favorite activities - but all three for the price of a hangar pack? That's the way.

First post over here so might as well share my mail day from yesterday. Sold my Gunnar 1st last year to buy my wife a trip to New England. Might sound like sacrilege to some, but I don't mind lower end autos, or even unlicensed for the PC. Don't get me wrong - I love the resell value, but when I got back into collecting in 2019 it has been tough to sign off on high end PC purchases for the Orioles.

All in all - Gunnar is back in the collection for 1/10th of the price I sold his other auto for. Got a 5-day vacation out of it as well!
