So Much Randomness.

Things are getting cold in Toronto. We'd been super lucky to this point but that chill in he air? That shit is real folks. Long Johns in FULL effect.

The temperature may have dipped but I'm ready for spring training & 2012 baseball cards. I heard today that we're only two weeks away from the release of Topps Series 1 and three weeks away from pitchers & catchers reporting. Huzzah to that!

But for our blog purposes here tonight...it's a hodge podge of cards. A real mélange. Which is certainly reflected in my end of year, all-over-the-map collecting habits of late.

Poring through a binder at my local shop, I came across this card. I like it quite a bit even though it's got a bit of a crease through the middle. A real beaut. So much action!


I've been on a Tim Raines kick recently & this card was one of many I've snagged the past while.

MOAR TIM RAINES!!!2010 T-206 is slightly awkward & weird but I do like these booklet / patch things. Still trying to track down the Halladay / Lincecum one...but I grabbed this at a show this past Sunday.


This Rasmus auto came today via The 'Bay. It's the fifth Rasmus auto in my nascent Rasmus collection & my first actual A&G mini-auto. My experience in opening packs of Ginter is tainted by the slew of Red Sox jersey cards I've pulled.

"What's up with that? What's up with that?..."


It would be pretty dandy to have Prince Fielder hitting behind this guy but it's not gonna happen (sad trombone). I'll have to be content to knock this card of my Heritage needs.

And the caboose of this post? Of course. It had to be one of the Flying Molina Brothers. I saw this in a binder & did a triple take. I thought for sure I had all of the 11' flagship Blue Jays...but apparently not. I tend to take that sort of thing as a personal affront, like: "How could you possibly avoid me Jose?!?! After all we've been though..."

Those dastardly, sneaky Molina's.
