Last week I showed four new Cloutier cards (two base, one parallel and one insert) in which I payed a hefty eight dollars for. Three of those cards could probably be found in your local quarter box, but hey, at least I kept my purchases local (yay Canada).
Exhibit B would be the pack of Certified I bought at the same time I did the Cloutiers. I've boughten three packs of Certified (here and here) and all three cost me ten bucks a piece. I knew at the time I bought those three other packs that the sign said they were 13 dollars each and I was getting somewhat of a bargain (although ten dollars is the actual cost listed by Panini).
Unfortunately for me this time I did not get that break, I already had 18 bucks of product in my hand (four Cloutiers and another card I'll list later) so why didn't he shave the access three bucks? I guess I just have to bite the bullet, I'm glad I did though because this is what I got:
My solid four base cards pretty much promised in every pack plus...
An extra Tyler Myers base? What could this mean...
Hey! Another Tyler Myers, this time one I actually care about! I actually do love the monster that is Myers. His size is impressive as is, add on the fact he plays on what I would say is in my top three favourite east coast teams and we got ourselves a keeper. It doesn't hurt that he also wears my third favourite number.
For those of you that are interested, my favourite numbers are: first and most important to me - 13, then 24 and 57.
If you survived that last sentence, let's talk about the actual card. The card in itself is all foiled, similar to the base cards, it has a square GU window with a cool blue swatch beneath. It's also numbered to 299 copies which is just below average for a GU card these days - not bad.
Now, here is my question to you: what's your relationship like with your LCS owner/employees? Are you sometimes caught in sticky situations like the past two I've shared with you?
Let me know your thoughts...
GO NUCKS GO!
Well... my LCS (the only one in my city that I know of and that I have only visited twice) has moved their location in my local mall 3 times the past few months... First from a store on one side of the hall to a kiosk in the middle of the hall, same area, and they just moved AGAIN across from the kiosk and their original location!!! Pretty crazy, Ihave never bought anything big, just a couple of packs! Hope to buy from them more though, they are very nice and are very welcoming! (its a mom, dad and son that own the shop)
