Alright, I'll post a pack of baseball cards. I think I'm up to the madding challenge. This one has been sitting on the shelf for a couple of weeks, though. My wife had her friend stay with us for a weekend, and I was goaded into buying some cards on a trip to Target. Whenever you're coerced into buying cards, the decision-making process becomes compromised, and bad things happen. I give you...Bowman Chrome.
Let's tear in.
Top to Bottom:
145 Joba Chamberlain (Coverboy.)
95 Austin Kearns (Got paid $5,000,000 in 2008 to bat .217.)
BCP168 Zach Britton (Got as high as regular-A with the Delmarva Shorebirds last year.)
Here are five things I could have more wisely spent my money on at Target:
5. Three things from the Dollar Spot, the crapstravaganza located just inside the door of most Targets. Lord knows I need a new Spiderman activity book.
4. A package of Easter candy. Easter is a very underrated season for candy. Putting aside the disgusting Peeps, there are a lot of good candies out there that Easter-fy their offerings, many of them involving peanut butter.
3. A St. Patrick's Day greeting card. These were purchased before the 17th, so those things were available a-plenty. SPD might soon overtake Christmas in the card sending arena.
2. Some sort of frozen treat.
1. A bottle of store-brand dishwashing liquid. Not very fun, but at least it can clean your dishes. Apparently, part of the "Joba Rules" called for no washing dishes. Lucky fuck.

There are two kinds of collectors of Bowman Chrome: The kind that rips several hobby boxes while chanting MOJO BABY the whole time, and the kind that buys exactly one pack at Target and never buys another one ever again.
If you end up with peeps this year, feel free to send them my way. :-)
My fiancee LOVES the one spot! Lots of crap you never knew you needed for only a dollar. I believe we left the one spot with a toy dinosaur and a lint roller last time we were there. You just can't beat that.
