Night Owl, I'm not living quite as "right" this year !

 
Last year, just about this time, I picked up a single pack of retail A&G and pulled my second ever redemption card .
 
I stopped at the same Meijers store and bought a single pack of 2012  a couple days ago.
 
 
 
A&G  back Carlos Lee mini.
 
 
Johnny (I'm glad you didn't win after leaving Cleveland) Peralta.
 
 
Nelson (Betcha' can't read what's written on my bat knob) Cruz 
 
 
And who ??
 
Oh, a "Superstar" electronic gamer. I'm going to have to check out his website.
 
Pardon the delay....
 
He's won $500,000.00 and a new car for playing games !!??
 
I need to practice up.
 
 
Maybe I can get 500k for this :
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Well.....maybe not !
 
I do like that Meijers store though. 
 
I pulled another hit there once.
 
I don't think I've ever shown this before and I didn't think about it after I pulled Cheryl.(my mind must have been somewhere else)
 
Back in 1999-2000 I bought a pack of Upper Deck "A Piece of History"
 
and
 
 
pulled
 
 
this...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Not necessarily my favorite, but probably the best card in my collection. 
 
That would explain one thing. One time when I took some packs to the checkout, the clerk, a gentleman about my age, said he had seen a fellow going through the card boxes feeling each pack.
 
Oh, crap !!
 
Now everyone will go there!
 
Attention !!!
 
This whole post was a hoax.
 
Do not go to the Sandusky Meijers store to buy sports cards.
Especially the racks right by the check outs.

  1. At my local K-Mart I pulled a Nolan Ryan jersey out of an Upper Deck pack one time. Then a year later I pulled ANOTHER Nolan Ryan jersey card out of a pack from the same store. Then the store closed :( no more Ryans for me.

  3. I got into gaming for a bit and recognize Fatal1ty as the face of Creative sound cards.

    There is some serious skill involved in playing at that level. And some serious ulcers, too.
