A Handful Makes 6,000
When I made the goal of reaching 6,000 Tigers by October, that was quite generous. Now I was very aggressive in pursuing several lots of Tigers on ebay, getting in on some blogger drafts, a couple of box breaks, and here you have it. SIX THOUSAND.
I had been scouring the local retail stores for Archives this weekend and finally got a tip from This Way to the Clubhouse that Super Wal-Mart would have some, sure enough and 2 Blasters and 6 rack packs later, I had my fill of archives, love these sets especially 1985 and for some reason 1990 (prolly cause I was 5 and 10 at those points and the peak of my collecting)
I PULLED A TIM SALMON (ARCHIVES) AUTO AND A JESUS MONTERO RELIC (HERITAGE) AND A NICK MARONDE (GYPSY) AUTO AND WOULD LIKE TO TRADE THEM. I PREFER TO TRADE AUTO FOR AUTO AND RELIC FOR RELIC. PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT IF INTERESTED.
Now just because you or I have a certain quantity of cards doesn't mean it's quality. If you were to knock my collection it would be this: several holes in the team set variety.
A couple of highlights this week....
That's going to be the focus for me heading forward, to fill up those Swiss chesse team sets and make them whole. Sounds like some touchy-feely psych session. Maybe this is therapy....

The Detroit News put out a commemorative set in 1981 celebrating 100 years of Tigers baseball of 135 cards. I had been eyeing this set for some time and wanted to commemorate my goal of 6,000 by making the purchase when I was in closing distance. As always (at least for me) I had some cards not accounted for that pushed the number up on June 1 to 6.089.

I am not much of a repack warrior, but this was definitely a treat to pull.
