Topps Million Pulls
"But Mom, everyone else is doing it!"
Since pretty much the entire card blogosphere is posting their personal Topps Million card pulls on the first day of availability, I shall do the same. So far I've purchased a whopping 13 packs of Topps and 1 Rack-pack. I haven't been at all dissatisfied with my pulls thus far, I've gotten a nice mix of inserts and even pulled a hit! I'll detail what I got below, but here's my first 4 Topps Million cards:
Paul Schaal 1972
Paul Schaal / Third Base / Kansas City Royals
Card ID Number: 177
Joe Coleman 1972
Joe Coleman / Pitcher / Detroit Tigers
Card ID Number: 640
Bill Campbell 1985
Bill Campbell / Pitcher / Philadelphia Phillies
Card ID Number: 209
Derek Jeter 1999
Derek Jeter / Shortstop / New York Yankees
Card ID Number: HDA1
See that last one? Yeah, there's NO pictures listed on the site, and I can't find one on eBay. In fact, I can't even verify the existence of a 1999 HDA1. There's a 2000 HDA1, which is a Jeter autograph. If I pulled a Jeter autograph out of this thing, then I win right? I mean everyone else is pulling JUNK so far, if I pulled a Jeter, well that would be the best so far. I think. If anyone else pulls something better, comment would ya? Oh and if you can shed some light on this HDA1 card, I'd love to know what the heck it is.
ANYWAY, here's the rest of what I've pulled out of Topps thus far:
4 Red Back Minis (Spahn, Mantle, Chipper, Jackie Robinson)
2 History of the Game (LOVE)
2 Tales of the Game (Love)
5 Peak Performance (Meh)
2 Serial # Gold Parallel
3 Turkey Red
2 When they were young
3 Legendary Lineage (1 double)
6 Cards Your Momma Threw Out - no original backs
4 Topps Million Codes
13 Standard Topps Town
2 Gold Topps Town
1 Peak Performance Relic - David Wright

Superbowl XLIV - Saints 31, Colts 17 FINAL
Wow, the New Orleans Saints win the Superbowl, just like the entire country was hoping. Drew Brees played like a MAN and deserves the MVP award.
Manning made one HUGE mistake, and it cost them the game.
I'm actually very happy for the Saints and Drew Brees, that's awesome.
Great game everyone.

The Saints are getting little cocky right now, Robo still has the ability to tie this game. First and goal on the 4 with 1:34 is way enough time for Robo.
OK sorry, first and goal on the 13 after the penalty.
2nd and goal on the 3

I guess it ain't over until the clock hits 00:00. In one play they could be right back in it, but then they still have to recover the onside kick after AND score another TD in under 2 minutes. Even with 3 time outs that's a tall order.
GO Daddy - Danica #2 - Again, I don't WANNA go watch more commercials on my computer. Ever.
No secret, I love the CBS comedies on Monday, except for the Jenna Elfman POS that's on at 8:30 pm I can only hope it gets cancelled and we're all put out of it's misery.

Unless Robo can score twice in 3 minutes, this game is over and damn, what an amazing game it has been. Really. Manning makes ONE mistake and it costs them the game.
Bud Light - Book club - Maybe it's me because I no longer drink beer, but their ads were simply horrible.
Car Commercial - I'd rather have a car built by robots. Robots don't make that many mistakes.
E*Trade #2 - I really hate those babies.
