For all you Blake Griffin fans, here’s something you must have and you can. It’s currently on Ebay as item #220485853324.

The seller puts it best, “I have acquired a grilled panini sandwich (turkey and cheese on flatbread), SIGNED on both halves BY BLAKE GRIFFIN.  When he signed the sandwich, he transferred his power into it, naturally.  One of the halves I have already eaten.  You can see video proof at my packstothepeople website on the internet.  The other half I have stored in a freezer.  You will be bidding on the half that was stored in the freezer.”

    It’s been awhile since I’ve visited the old card shop, so while out the other day I decided to stop by and see what was new. Not to much, most the shelfs were empty, due to a “good” weekend. Which I guess is good overall, since that means some people might still be buying stuff.  So with not much to choose from I decide on 2 packs of 09 Upper Deck Football and a few packs of the 09-10 Bowman ’48 Basketball.  In the football packs I pulled a Chris “Beanie” Wells UD Rookie Jersey card, I thought that wasn’t to bad, then I moved onto the ’48 Bowman and pulled a O.J. Mayo Auto card. In all I realized I might have to stop in that old shop alittle more often.

    Lifelong Collection

    wilkerJosh Wilker’s a 41-year-old proofreader who lives in Ukrainian Village, is quick to point out that his collection is incomplete and his most valuable card is probably worth no more than $5.  “For me, it’s all about a way to access my childhood and think about those years, and think about the years that came after,” said Wilker, who recently signed a contract to write a book about his collection and his lifelong love of baseball. Stefano Esposito, of the Suntimes, takes alook at Wilker’s story click here.

    bukerByron Buker, has an impressive collection of personal memorabilia, and each one holds its own unique story. Over the past decade and a half, Buker has become quite savvy in capturing some of the top names auto’s. Sean Duncan from the Times-Mail in Bedford, Indiana has more on Buker and his collection, click here.

    You would think I would stops throwing money at these retail boxes, but when your standing in line and see them, you think why not, it’s like a $20 lotto ticket. So here we go again.

    Bad cards, bad design, stay away. Guys that were traded last year still in their old uniforms. Case in point Ken Griffey Jr’s card. It shows Griffey in his Reds uniform, the card has a White Sox logo. Come on… and your even more behind becuase know he’s back in Seattle.
