I usually don't buy a lot when product first hits the shelves.

I am growing weary of all the inserts, subsets, parallels, numbered, un-numbered, colored this way, bordered that way, etc... but mainly, I'm trying to finish off some of the sets from the last few years as well. And I'm not to thrilled with the "gold" I think the diamond parallels from last year look way better than this year's gold version. I am trying to collect the team sets for my PCs but that's about it. I too am waiting for Opening Day and plan on buying a box of that from my LCS. and I'm buying a box of Big Bang Theory from my Comic shop as well. I've told the Missus that I'm not going to buy as many packs of "new" stuff, concentrating on the discount packs at my Target instead.<br />Those Supreme Greens are cool but I really like the Supreme Blue version better. I'm a little over half way thru that set, and it's one of the ones I'm trying to finish.Dawgboneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09795429019912746620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936357628955617728.post-48128269178202952182012-02-20T23:00:09.809-05:002012-02-20T23:00:09.809-05:00I'm definitely buying less this year and worki...I'm definitely buying less this year and working harder to complete the set through trades. There's some nice inserts but to try and chase specific subsets through blaster after hanger after blaster seems too futile.<br /><br />I'm also saving funds for Gypsy Queen!<br /><br />Ryan, I'm definitely interested in the Cano relic and Gold Granderson above!Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12837626703395813878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936357628955617728.post-26496626118127088102012-02-20T19:18:38.543-05:002012-02-20T19:18:38.543-05:00Please hold that red Kimbrel for me.

Think I might pre-order a hobby box of that.Derek Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204833467542945210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936357628955617728.post-76859177400634067612012-02-20T18:34:56.039-05:002012-02-20T18:34:56.039-05:00i'm keeping spending down also. but its easy f...i'm keeping spending down also. but its easy for me to pass bcuz topps 2012 design is boring. too much fools gold, and too many uninspired inserts. imo :PStealing Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818879297909675392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2936357628955617728.post-8601762397639152502012-02-20T16:33:21.108-05:002012-02-20T16:33:21.108-05:00I've picked up less series 1 this year but it&...I've picked up less series 1 this year but it's not because of the set itself. It's more just trying to control the spending. I always go way overboard on series 1 and am usually left with a bunch of it that I either give away to bloggers of the local shop.<br /><br />I'd also like to trade for any of the parallels you have from series 1, be they blue, red or gold.moremonkeys138https://www.blogger.com/profile/05040986592810865491noreply@blogger.com
