So as I was on the train going to what I get a message on Blowoutcards Forums. It was from a guy in Toronto that introduced himself and then continued on to say that he has just pulled the 2012 Topps Chrome R.A. Dickey Superfractor 1/1. "HOLY COW!!!!"-- Harry Caray
He then continued in his message to say that he has no interest in putting it up on eBay because he believes that it belongs in my collection. How awesome is that? It's nice to know that people appreciate the hard work I've put into my collection and think of me when they come across something like this.
So I will see what it's going to take to get this card from him and I hope I get it without breaking the bank haha. Wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BzzAgent Campaign #2-- Time for some Brew!!
So I received my second BzzAgent kit! After experiencing the
excitement from my first kit, this one made my day especially after
returning from a week full of sorrow and heart-break back home due to
the passing of my father..
I needed something to bounce back to my normal self and obviously this kit alone did not do that it sure did help because it was COFFEE!!! Green Mountain K-Cups Wellness collection were waiting for me to try and boy was I ready for some brew!
I busted open the box an immediately grabbed the mini boxes of K-Cups inside and tried the Antioxident blend. Damn was it good! I was worried about the taste being a little medicinal but not with this blend! The way I see it, if it is going to do what it says and help me a little on the immune side, why not, right? The taste is the same--still rich, for me at least, so that is definitely on my future purchase list! The Antioxidant Blend's secret wellness weapon is it's good source of Vitamin C and E in every 8oz serving. Hence the word Antioxidant :). Don't have the time to peel an orange??? Grab a cup of this instead.
The Focus Blend I was not a big fan of however. In my opinion, it did have that medicinal taste to it but it was worth a shot! It's benefits feature 50mg of L-Theanine in every eight ounce serving. From what I have gathered in research, L-Theanine increases alpha-brain wave activity which is a sign of induced relaxation. Who doesn't like to have a relaxed mindset!!!!

RA Dickey Five Star---Trade Talks
I finally caved in and got one! A Silver Auto, nothing fancy like the red parallel or anything hahaha. Only cost me $36 but its coming from China so I am hoping it gets here in one piece. The card looked like it was in good shape so if I get it in that state, I will be very pleased :)..
I'm not gonna lie... All this talk here lately has made me a little nervous. I really do not like the idea of Dickey going to the Royals or any other team for that matter. If the Mets trade him it will be very disappointing however I will understand why if they get a huge amount in return for him which is what it sounds like the Mets are asking for in return. I suppose we will see. The season can't come soon enough!! Looking forward to another fantastic year of RA doing well and his card sky-rocketing--- oh wait I don't like that part hahaha

No Dickey Cards for me :(
I still don't have all the Topps Update, TTT, or Five Star cards!! I can't believe it! This is due mainly because I ran out of $$$$! hahaha I need to feed the kiddos ya know! Plus with RA winning the Cy Young (hellz yeah) his prices have gone up a little but not as much as I thought they would. It's funny because a lot of people who are posting his stuff on eBay are asking ridiculous amounts of money and no one is buying.. So I am hoping when I get some more flexible spending money, the prices will be down a bit. We will see, let's hope for the best!!!!!!!!!!!!

Five Star Baseball Is Out
Talk about expensive!!! Wow... $500 a box/pack! The cards look beautiful BUT due to the thick card stock I have seen a lot of the cards dinged up pretty bad. http://www.blowoutcards.com/forums/baseball-box-breaks/398621-guru-live-break-2012-topps-five-star-case.html
These are just some from a break on Blowout cards forums. Out of the 5 that I have seen up on Ebay the R.A. Dickey cards have not fared out well... Every single one of them have the sides of the cards damaged.. It is really disappointing to see this come out of such an expensive product. I really feel for those who bought the cases before knowing this issue. They dumped a lot of money on these cards and when they go to resell them people will not pay that kind of money on damaged cards... I will not shell out $50+ on a damaged RA card. Auto or not, I don't care..

R.A. Dickey--2012 NL Cy Young Awatd Winner!
He did it! A fantastic year has come to a close for R.A. Dickey with a Cy Young award in hand! Not only did he win the Cy young Award... he practically walked away with it nabbing up 27 of the 2st place votes. Domination by far! Congrats to RA on a job well done and an award well deserved!
Now the question that keeps haunting me is what are the Mets going to do with him now? We, of course, want to see him stay with the Mets for the rest of his career. RA said that himself last night. We can just hope that that is what happens.
Another thing that I have been thinking about is what is this going to do for my collection? Well the good news is that the value of my collection has just sky-rocketed. No, I do not plan on letting go of any of it... The bad news is that, well... the prices are going to sky-rocket. Hahaha! The wonderful world of card collecting..

BzzAgent BzzKit Number 1!
So I received my first kit this week! I was quite excited when I received it to be honest. It has been fun to get something and try it for free. The first thing I received was Gold Toe products, undershirts and socks. I must say I really enjoyed the socks. Yes I enjoyed socks... the same things you hated getting for Christmas.. I wear dress socks everyday for work and I got through them like candy... These socks are soft, comfortable, and durable. My kind of socks! Go check them out! If you wear dress socks regularly and need a change try these out for sure! You won't regret it! 
Cy Young Here We Come!!!
Four days from now the Cy Young winner will be annouced. Everyone that knows me knows who I am rooting for and that is R.A. Dickey. He is the clear favorite at the moment but you never know what those writers will do. My prediction for NL Cy Young is as follows:
1. R.A. Dickey NYM
2. Clayton Kershaw LAD
3. Johnny Cueto CIN
4. Matt Cain SF
5. Gio Gonzalez WSH
Clayton Kershaw will get a strong amount of votes and it will be close. I say R.A. Dickey only beats him out by a few points. Cueto had a terrific run but lost it at the end which cost him his chances at winning. Cain has the perfecto underneath his belt which will get him some top votes. Gio had a terrific year but the man just walked entirely too many batters. He could not keep his control.. well...under control.
R.A. had an unbelievable year breaking several records for his team and in MLB. Let's not foget his back to back one hitters. Which in my opinion is harder to do than throwing a no hitter or perfect game but that is just me. So we shall see how it goes and lets hope R.A. takes home a Cy Young award because he clearly deserves it..
