More Bowman Platinum

I went to the card show today and was there from 10:30-2:30.  It's amazing how time flies when you are thumbing through cards.  And I only got through half the room.  That's ok though because next time I know where to head first.  I know I missed lots of good stuff so I'm looking forward to the next one already.  Vendors there are already talking about the National that will be in Baltimore in August. Needless to say everyone is pretty excited that it's coming back to town, including me.

Here is post two of the Bowman Platinum blaster I opened.  Some of them have been (or are about to be) traded away, but I figured I'd show them anyway.
I pulled an Oswalt for the collection. Rumor has it that the Nationals are interested in him.  Makes sense since they need some veteran presence to mentor all of their up and coming phenoms.
I look forward to seeing Buster Posey play again next year.  Regardless if you are a Giants fan or not, he is an exciting player to watch.  He's equally as good a human being too.  Anyone who watched "The Franchise" on Showtime this season got a glimpse into his life and demeanor outside of baseball.  He seems like a genuinely good dude.
Crinkly Wrappers is collecting this set. Have a look at his want list if you have some extras to trade! 
I think the show The X Factor stole their name from the Xfractor card.  Yeah I just called Simon Cowell out.
Robby Cano gold...does anyone at A Cardboard Problem need this card?
Mr. Paredes has already been traded away to Mr. Dimwit.  A very nice on card auto.

Stay tuned to the blog...I am plotting and scheming something fun for everyone to celebrate the blogs holy crap I've kept this up for a year one year birthday.
