Group Break from the Cheap Seats

So I got myself involved the Dan over at Saints of the Cheap Seats recent group break and this is what I came away with. 2007 ultimate Collection Jose Reyes game used card #'d 18/75. This really is a sweet card - As a Mets fan and B Mets guy - he is another player I will always root for. I will also tell you this story (albeit secondhand).

So here is the deal - This story was told to me and I cannot verify its truthfulness....however, I want to believe its true. So here goes. A buddy of mine's cousin was at one time a Mets farm hand for 1 season back in the early 2000's. I do not recall his name - but one time a bunch of the minor league guys got invited to a party some of the big leaguer's were having, this guy was one of them. They show up to the party with a bunch of guys standing around a pool table. They approach the table and Jose is filling out some girl like an application doggy style on the table with the toothiest grin you've ever seen. Sweet. Thats it. I just get a kick out of thinking about that smile we all see when hes goofing around in the dugout when hes also laying pipe.

while taking Jose out of his bubble mailer - I found something I was afraid I lost in the move - the other 2 cards that Jeff the card junkie sent me! Here are the 2 cards, a Legends of the Game Rogers Hornsby and a Turkey Red of Cole Hamels (see below for hot wife).

thorzul makes me sick.

No really. I'm enjoying a nice Tuesday evening at work when my wife stops by to give me some packages I received to help me pass the time at work. There were some ttm successes and a big box from our favorite Wisconsian Thorzul. I barely had the chance to dig through the box before I felt like I was going to be sick. 2 hours later, the flu hits, 1 day later, my face hits the bowl and I go headlong into a puke shower.

A week later - I finally dig into the box he sent.

I was the Mets of course for this group break, and while they are not the "best" cards of the break, these are hands down my favorite. I will always have a soft spot for Gregg Jefferies rookie cards - These will be going out in the mail soon in hopes of getting some scribbles from Mr. Jefferies. Also is a Big Pelf Rookie, a Wright All Star, HoJo and a nice looking Delgado.

Thorzul was also kind enough to send me cards for my 07 Topps 52 rookies, 91 Fleer Ultra, 93 Donruss Series 1, and 89 Donruss sets. A great package and many thanks my friend. There is a return package on its way to you as we speak.
