Update #2 - 3 Days until the Release

Well, we only have 3 days until the release of Topps 2013 Baseball. I have been seeing a lot of pictures of cards featured in the set and it looks like it is going to be a very fun set this year. I have also started seeing some pre-sale listings on Ebay for the complete Emerald set. I am very tempted to consider purchasing it that way, but I feel it takes almost all of the fun out of set building. Throughout this experience I am hoping to make some new friends, visit some new hobby stores, go to a show or two, and have the involvement of my family during this task. While saving money to have someone else complete set does sound tempting, I would be missing out on all of those other experiences, and who knows what I will find along the way. In this case I think taking the road less traveled sounds like a more rewarding experience, even if it does cost me more money along the way.

In my last post I talked about using Twitter.com. I must say I did not really know what to expect, but I am glad I did. Currently I am following 12 different people/organizations and I have 5 followers. I have made contact with a person interested in trading cards in the future. The entire experience is quite simple really and it is also pretty fun. If anyone reading this has a Twitter account follow me @BrianHuens. I know I should have used a different handle, one that suits this blog more, but I am not going to start over now.

I also wanted to post some of the cards that I am willing to trade in order to get some Emerald Foil 2013 Topps cards. So here they are in no particular order. Some are better than others and there are more to come.
