Bought a box of Topps Triple Threads today

Saw them in the store yesterday while picking up a box of Bowman but could no way justify spending that much for 12 cards.
Well, this morning on my way to work, I stopped and bought 3 lottery scratch tickets, won $20 on one of them. So I cashed it in, bought 2 more and hit for $500.
I started with $40 and needed 10 for lunch and thought to myself before going in that it would be great to win something good so I can go buy more cards after work
and since the Red Sox were off today, opening cards would be a great thing to do. When I hit the 500, I decided to spend all of it on cards LOL
Got a box of Heritage, 2 boxes of Bowman, a box of Co-signers and the big daddy box of Triple Threads. Saving that for last so I'll post later what I pulled.

    Done with the appetizers (Heritage and Bowman)

    nothing mind blowing

    Still 3 cards short of a set after about 26 boxes of Heritage but did get the last felt I needed
    Got the 5 cards I needed to finish the Bowman base set minus the Bonds SP, finished the Chrome and the prospect sets.

    Heritage - Schoendienst seat relic, 2 common Chromes and 1 Refractor I already had

    Bowman - non sticker autos of Ryan Braun and Mike Rebelo, 1 orange border #/250, 3 blue border #/500, 1 refractor #/500 and 1 X-fractor #/275 - none stars (yet anyway)
    some nice gold cards though A-rod, Wright, Pujols, Okajima, Verlander

    almost ready for the main course.

    to be continued....

    Well - a bit disappointing results but it sure was fun. Felt like Charlie looking for the Golden Ticket.
    Couple low #/239 and these:

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    They do look nice but I was hoping for a Mantle, Williams or Dimaggio something or other.

    They'll look good in the display I'm working on. No plans on getting rid of them yet

    I'm not real sure what I'm looking at but the cards look cool. Plus, it's all profit. Gambling rocks.
