Post #100 And Other Random Thoughts

Rather than sneak this into Monday's Single Elimination Challenge, I thought I'd whip up a quick post to celebrate that this is, in fact, my 100th post! What does this mean? Well, honestly, not a whole lot. I guess I've just stuck with this long enough to reach a milestone. Still, it looks like I'm going to keep going for awhile, and maybe that means tidying up my blog a bit. I haven't updated my page layout in awhile, and I definitely need to update my list of all the other great bloggers to link to. If I have time, I'd like to create a customized blog design too, but that's further down the timeline. Anyhow, hopefully the look of my blog will evolve in the upcoming weeks. Thanks to everyone who has read my ramblings so far. I get a kick out of the interactions and comments!

2016 Bowman - Prospects #BP109 Rafael Devers

Apparently the cutoff for the Topps Update set is somewhere in the two week window between the All-Star game and when Rafael Devers debuted for the Red Sox. I'm quite disappointed that our young third baseman is not in this set. Maybe I expect too much because Topps Now has become so prevalent. (Devers has 15 Topps Now cards this year, in case you were wondering...) At least you Aaron Judge fans will be happy...

There's still time to vote for this week's Single Elimination Challenge! If you haven't checked it out yet, what are you waiting for!

2017 Topps #283a Andrew Benintendi (RC)

There's been a Blog Bat-A-Round recently where bloggers are stating what their collecting "white whale" has been. Right now, I don't really have one. I don't have a particular set I'm trying to complete right now, or a player collection. I will say when the base set came out this year, I was hoping to pull an Andrew Benintendi rookie. I haven't yet, and I don't know how many more Series 1 packs I'm willing to buy to try for it. I guess Benintendi is my "White Whale", at least for this year...
