In which our hero actually accomplishes something
One fine day in 2005 I was delivering an envelope to an office in a strip-mall in Abbotsford and there, two doors down, was a card store. Now other than blister-packs from 7-11, I hadn't bought anything since 99/00. But.......it was a slow work day and I had nowhere else to go, so in I went. It was the lockout year, so there wasn't much new product to be had. There was a SP Authentic box with two packs left. I bought them.
I got ten base cards. :)
I liked the way they looked though, and that got me back into the hobby for a few years. I went to eBay and bought a couple of giant lots and I was off to the races!
Now it's 2015 and I have a lot of stuff. More stuff than I can cope with, honestly. I'm like a meth-addicted chimpanzee in a meth lab with all the meth just lying around and I can't stop doing the meth because I'm addicted. And a chimpanzee.
So. Like I mentioned before, I was out of commission for a while with my sick kid in the hospital. Me & Amy would come home from visiting her and we'd be exhausted but sleep wasn't happening because of sadness & stress. Amy would go downstairs and visit her sister for a bit and I went into my little room and started scanning a binder page or two and then entering them into the SCF inventory and Photobucket. And then I went through my box of crapola and found the rest of the cards that I hadn't put in the binder yet.
Last night I managed to finish off my entire 2004/05 SP Authentic PC........................ except for the base set and the rookie redemptions, because I can't find the other binder I put them in after I had to split the original binder due to size. And I'm a chimpanzee, remember? But I do have THESE to show -
On to the misprints, minus the foil..............
Now Paulie (Johnse) recently showed off his complete Rookie Review auto/patch set, and I'm 6-8 cards shy of the whole thing so we'll just move along to the SOTTs. I have a whopping 45/184 of these, and most of them are terrible haha.
The singles............
I like the Lanny a lot :)
And the best one of the bunch....................
Next up, the Doubles!!!!

Why buy new when you can buyback???? The best part about this subset is that it will NEVER end. There's no checklist for the rookie and auto buybacks, just the auto'd ones. There's soooooo many I don't have and I have no idea what they are.........
The Rookie Buybacks are for the most part horrid, WHO IS SERGEI ZINOJEV?????
This one is a good one.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Whew.
