He brought in Pudge, Magglio, Miggy, V-Mart, and then a slew of HUGE names --- getting to two World Series appearances.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/10590/10590-US182Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/10590/10590-US182Fr.jpg" height="226" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Now, the reason he is gone is simple ---- the bullpen still is terrible, it's a revolving door of gasoline salesmen. Tom "Gasoline" Gorzleanny, Ian "Kerosene" Krol, Neftali "F-Bomb 2" Feliz --- this can keep going.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So here we are in August and the state of our pitching situation has dwindled to the point where we have to pay Toronto for 38 year old Randy Wolf, yesterday being his first appearance on an MLB mound in two seasons.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Not a bad outing, but the cupboards are bare and Dombrowski is gone.<br />

<br />
All short time acquisitions built for a great 2015.<br />
<br />
This is not a post of mourning!<br />
<br />
Let's take a look at what the Tigers have lost and now gained for a brighter 2016<br />
<br />
Traded Price to Toronto for three pitchers --- Norris ( I live in a van down by the Wal -Mart!), Matt Boyd, and Jairo Labourt (the the t is silent)....all Lefties!<br />
<br />

Wait, I moved! Topps needs me to update my info! I have only been waiting over a year and a half, surely they haven't.....they did, they shipped it. To be delivered to my <i>old</i> home.</div>

As the title suggests, the Hot Corner household is moving. This has led to less time for certain things and as my desk would suggest, significant piles of cardboard stacking up.<br />

What a brilliant concept!<br />
<br />
Let's take a look<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/100537/100537-24950464Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/100537/100537-24950464Fr.jpg" height="320" width="227" /></a><a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/100537/100537-24950504Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/100537/100537-24950504Fr.jpg" height="320" width="229" /></a><a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/100537/100537-24950525Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/100537/100537-24950525Fr.jpg" height="320" width="227" /></a><a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/100537/100537-24950542Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/100537/100537-24950542Fr.jpg" height="320" width="233" /></a><a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/100537/100537-24950573Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/100537/100537-24950573Fr.jpg" height="320" width="229" /></a><a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/100537/100537-24950583Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/100537/100537-24950583Fr.jpg" height="320" width="226" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They must be saving the best for last, as Miguel Cabrera and Justin Verlander are bound for Series two. Hope no one overreacts to their omission!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All kidding aside, I do enjoy the design Bowman has taken.</div>

Yes, Short Prints, Variations, parallels are troubling, but, it is, what it is.<br />
<br />
But this may be one glaring injustice from Bowman, see below the Tigers team set for 2015 Bowman<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Six cards, all fine ball players, with some rookies. Anyone notice an omission? Maybe two?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Still thinking?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Would ANY card producer leave out Jeter? Trout? Harper? Sal Fasano?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think not.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is no Miguel Cabrera! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You know the guy with two MVP trophies. The guy who won the Triple Crown for the first time since Yaz. The Best there is, Best there was, the best there ever will be (maybe a tad aggressive_ but seriously? Bowman whiffed on a really major player.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another one, Verlander, yeah he had a bad year in 2014 and still no sign of 2015, but the card companies still have Cliff Lee in this year's Bowman edition. I get that Bowman base is a smaller sized set, but give me a break.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's not like the team itself is horrible either, the demand is there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Think of the out cry from the cardboard community with any of the aforementioned "national" players not included --- like a day without sunshine, riots in the streets, boycotts, the end of modern civilization as we know it, for sure. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't understand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I had picked up the refractors of Zeile and Hill a couple weeks and had noticed when adding them in the collecting, that I had none of the Chrome, so luckily my main man still had these when I returned<br />

<br />
I have been quite a recluse over the last six months. Once the school year hit it has been non-stop at my house.<br />
<br />
Let's Review: Assistant Principal at a Middle School, two kids, Varsity wrestling coach, T-Ball coach, baseball card collector, avid 2x3 Hero blog reader, sold my house in 20 minutes ---- not much time to plunk down my thoughts on collecting.<br />

I have never been much of a writer, so this in a way is an exercise in personal development.<br />
<br />

<br />
Regardless, collecting Tigers has continued. Steadily moving toward the 10K mark, the goal was to hit that by the end of April, now standing at 9.984 with Bowman master team set on the way and some other eBay and Sportlots to be arriving shortly.<br />
<br />
Night Owl sent me a surprise mailer, he warned of some shiny enclosed.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/97895/97895-24685045Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/97895/97895-24685045Fr.jpg" height="320" width="224" /></a></div>
<br />
The design ---- maybe there is something in it's simplicity....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/97895/97895-24684986Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/97895/97895-24684986Fr.jpg" height="320" width="229" /></a><a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/97895/97895-24684999Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/97895/97895-24684999Fr.jpg" height="229" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Nothing fancy, no effort here.<br />
<br />
And then I picked up a blaster after reading this <a href="http://nightowlcards.blogspot.com/2015/03/lucky-13th.html">Night Owl</a> post, and scooped this up<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/107154/107154-24681875Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/107154/107154-24681875Fr.jpg" height="220" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then two jumbo packs<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/97895/97895-24684771Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/97895/97895-24684771Fr.jpg" height="320" width="231" /></a><a href="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/97895/97895-24684846Fr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/Cards/Baseball/97895/97895-24684846Fr.jpg" height="229" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
....and now I have the urge to complete the set. Although I do not want to invest the time or money I did last season into completing Heritage.<br />
<br />
( On a side note, I had to purchase seven additional cards to complete the master "team set" [in addition to the seven SPs included in the Tigers team set] I bought due to another team sharing the space....DocHoloday.com wrote about this conundrum and our similar love/hate for Heritage <a href="http://www.docholoday.com/2015/03/deep-heritage/">here </a>and how he had to solve it <a href="http://www.docholoday.com/2015/03/heritage-mistake/">here</a>.) "Dumb," in my best Night Owl impression.<br />
<br />
Now that's where you come in, send me your dupes of these numbers and I will send you all kinds of stuff to meet your want list demands! <br />
<br />
