I never realized how high the wagon actually was until I fell off it yesterday. I fell off, hit my head hard, tumbled around and finally got back up.

However, before I show you how I fell off, I’m going to show you what kept me rolling down the hill. I went to Barnes & Noble tonight to use a gift card I received for Christmas. There are none near me, so I had to drive about 45 minutes to the closest one. It was Saturday night, the boyfriend is working and I have nothing to do.

So driving aimlessly around southern New Jersey was high on the list.

I got owned by Starbucks twice tonight. The one at B&N didn’t have any more green tea and the one in Target closed as soon as I walked in.

But, the plan was to hit Wal-Mart and find the elusive 2009 Topps black cards. Just ’cause I opened a case of these doesn’t mean I don’t need more. After all, I didn’t get the black cards. So, a blaster it was for me.

For the record, all these cards are for trade. Every single one of them …

  1. Hope you didn’t “hurt” yourself too bad ! I would be interested in the Indians : Lee, Lee-Leaders and A.Cabrera (plus any I may have missed). Also the Maris legend ,ToppsTown gold Peavy and the Williams patch. I’ll check your want list and get back.

  2. No, they’re just black cards. A variant without a serial-numbered exclusive to Wal-Mart.

    I didn’t post a picture because there were a ton floating out there already … and I’m too lazy to scan stuff.

  3. I was wondering if I could get the Jay Bruce card. I came across your site a few days ago, and it’s one of the baseball card blogs I read every day.
