insomnia, BBCE, & poor decision-making skills

thehallmark

Have any of you bought completely worthless boxes in the pursuit of completely worthless cards in order to get them graded for the registry? If so, what boxes did you buy?

Done 91 Bowman, 93 Donruss and 92 Pinnacle looking for PSA 10 Carlton Fisk's in the past. What are you looking for?

I've got boxes for most years in the 80s, some from the 70s. My oldest is from 76.

It's not really about the registry for me, it's more about the insomnia and poor decision making.

Happy hour can also be a bit of a problem at times.

Yep, Last week actually. 90 Donruss, 90 Score, 90 Fleer Rack Box, 90 Bowman and 90 Topps Cello Box all looking for Paul ONeill cards for my registries.

I've been thinking of doing the same to pick up some modern Nolan Ryans. Just looking for Topps, but I still need 1987, 1988, 1990, 1993, 1994. If any of you bought those looking for a different player and think you may have a nice example of Ryan, let me know!

You know what they say... One man's junk is another man's treasure!

I buy FAR too much crap from '89... especially Bowman, Fleer, & Topps.

I really need a PSA 9/10 worthy '91 Bowman Sabo... I've been contemplating buying an entire case
of factory sets JUST to have a few to worthy examples that are submit worthy... now THAT'S pathetic!
