My little girl turns 5 today! Time to show off the new additions to the 7/12 silver box.It isn't quite Ozzie Smith, but this might be the most interesting photo in this small collection. My only pack-pulled 7/12 baby was this DaRon Bland, which I got from a value pack of Prestige. I didn't even know he was a 7/12er until looking it up in advance of Mischief's big day.I may have pack-pulled this one as well, but had to get a second after learning Wells would count towards the collection. Like I needed an excuse to add some '24 Heritage.If you thought the only minor league content in the collection would be that Joe Hamilton, then guess again. Savour the barber shop pole greatness of the 67's!More CHL content, this time with an incredible team name. They dropped the Screaming part of the name several seasons back, and as a result became far less incredible.Chronicles! YES!Fact on the back! Another YES!

A New MST3K Auto
Sure, Marv Fleming may have picked up 4 Super Bowl titles over his career, including the first one in Green Bay "PACKERS! Packers won the Super Bowl!" but that isn't the reason he's in the collection.
He also had an appearance in the movie 'Superdome', which was riffed during the KTMA season. If a bit part is enough to qualify Mickey Lolich for the collection, then why wouldn't this?
Shirley Eaton is the only other KTMA auto I have, and The Million Eyes of Sumuru was reriffed during the Gizmoplex year.
There you have it!

2/14 Hockey
My most recent comc shipment was pretty hockey intensive, and here is most of the contents that fall under that heading. There is still a new face to show off with one of those posts.
I know that Bernie might or might not be a 2-14 guy, since there are two different dates listed depending on the source. Still, it is the only OPC manufactured trophy card in the collection. Will Lane Hutson have one in the future? I guess I'll have to keep my eyes on the checklists. Speaking of Lane Hutson, here's a GDM entry of his. I'm not sure how to handle cards that were available before 2/14 for purchase, but not available in a physical form until afterwards when it comes to the annual countdown I do. I'll just hope I get a better card of his between now and 2/14/2026 to remove any internal debate.Saturday, 5 July 2025
2025 Adventures in Repacks - Part 21 - Too Long
It has been too long since I picked up one of those 2 pack hanger repacks. So lets remedy it with this pickup, which had these packs within:
How very chrome!It was kinda nice to bust some Chrome Update, since I'd never had the chance to open any of that before. Getting a Blue Jays insert of Vladdy Jr makes it even better. And the other pack - nothing but base cards. Nothing too interesting photographically speaking either. But that was to be expected. At least Scherzer brings some star power and Howard brings the veteran presence.Thursday, 3 July 2025
Contrasts
Barbed wire in the ring, but a 'Willow's Smile Section' at ringside. It is a little blurry, but it does look like there is an apostrophe in the correct place in the sign. I can appreciate when fans show the most basic literacy.The back of the card also contrasts the smiley photo with a text referencing the match to make for a real enigma of a card.

Sleepy Me
I'm not feeling too verbose today, so here is a scanner bed filled with Kitchener Rangers alum from my too-be-posted box.
And all really cheap courtesy of e-pack stuff sent to COMC. Only the numbered Meireles was more than 50 cents.Friday, 27 June 2025
2025 Adventures in Repacks - Part 20 - Just One Repack
When I busted this pack on Monday, I thought that it was a surprise that Mogilny still had not been inducted in the Hocky Hall of Fame. Hours later, it happened. Did I will it into existence?
The 2020s pack ends it. At least they all were not from the same set. That's the only positive I get from a boring grouping.

Twice the Football
Another 2/14 show-off, and I'm going to double up by highlighting football in both the gridiron, and the rest-of-the-world sense.

Both Sides
Since my previous post was very OKC Thunder intensive, based on the 2 Chronicles packs. So, to make things even in the run-up to Game 7, here's an Indiana Pacers card (sorta).
I mean, he's on the Pacers, even if not on this card. Plus there's a swatch that several people would probably consider substantial. Nembhard can also fit into my 'Canadians in the NBA' mini-collection, so I can fit in a collection and make it topical.
