These are not Braves

 My brother and I had a great night at trivia.....we won! The last two times we placed third out of 14 teams each week. We were in the money, but didn't wager anything on the final question. (two of those teams are 11 people teams), but most teams are 4-5 people. So even when we don't place first I am usually happy.....my brother is a different story lol. 

Now, let's get to the set build section of that last ComC order.




I finally updated that set build list for the embossed. You can find it listed under set builds, drop down to misc.




Some more Pacific ornaments.



The Topps Holiday sets, variations, relics, and ornaments are also listed under the misc. sets on my website.




There you have it. I wish everyone a very happy and blessed 4th of July! Be safe, enjoy!

      LOL! First place only provides a $20.00 gift card for the restaurant playing in. Also because I made a deal with Jack (my brother) where he also buys our dinner, so I find it fitting to allow him to use the cards. 1st pays 20, 2nd 15.00, and third 10.00. This place is kind of pricey and out meal is usually $40-45.00. Same trivia company also does Beef O Bradys (we used to get $25.00 for the win there, but the one closest to us quit trivia night, now it's a 30 minute drive, and either on a Monday or Thursday night. So, we settle for the one 2 minutes from the house.

      Well... $20 (or $15 or $10) is better than nothing. Hope you and your brother are getting some decent meals for $40 to $45. At the very least... at least it's quality time with your brother.

      That is why I do it. (besides, it gives me another opportunity to bust his chops- he's in his 70's so you never know how many opportunities I'll get ;)).

      p.s. The food isn't that good, should be half of that. I usually get a burger or quesadillas and he always gets a chef salad.
