2 Reasons I’m Over Parallels
I posted a blog a couple of days ago about not bothering with inserts and parallels until I’m at a show or I already found a way to get all the better/harder to find later cards. I thought I would share a couple of my mail days to show you why I stopped bothering.
Mail Day #1
2011 Topps Finest Robinson Cano Finest Moments Auto /274
2011 Topps Finest Robinson Cano Finest Moments Auto /20
While writing this I realized something ironic. While I may be done chasing base card parallels it seems as though they still have me sucked in. I’m still buying parallels, they are just autographed now. Yay. The difference to me is that when I get an autograph it thrills me to no end but when I win a refractor version of something the only thing I’m thinking when it arrives is, “oh good I can fill one more pocket on the page of these exact same cards in my binder.” Then I’m over it. I am more likely to flip through all my plastic snap cases of autographs then I am to flip pages in my binder unless I am putting the cards away.
Eventually I will try and find the Finest parallels and inserts, or maybe one of you guys have some to trade. In the meantime if anyone has the purple refractor auto of Cano /5 to trade, let me know. One was already sold on eBay and there is one currently for sale in this auction. I want this card pretty badly to complete the Finest set of them, but unless one of you guys feel like buying me a birthday present it may be out of my price range for the time being considering the other one on eBay ended around $108.
I’m going on an eBay break until after Christmas because any money I have from now til then will be saved for shopping. I have one more mail day to show you guys, and one more I’ve been waiting about 10 days for it to arrive. I don’t want you guys to think I lied.
P.S. Please keep me in mind for any 2011 Finest, 2011 Bowman Chrome, and 2011 Topps Chrome cards of my guys you come across. I am definitely interested in trading and have plenty of cards to flip.
