Kicking off the summer by grilling some steaks! NOT!

 I didn't grill anything last year. I will be grilling tonight on a charcoal only grill I bought last summer. This will be the first time on it, hope things go well! 

UPDATE: Got cloudy, so changed plans to cook the steaks inside, bummer. Oh well, another day!

I visited my LCS 3 weeks in a row last month. I have a couple of posts from the most recent. One of Braves, and then the other stuff. Each visit cost more than the previous with the first one of those 3 trips at $4.00. The middle one was 15x the first, and this one was 2x the previous one.






These Hank Aaron reprints are the "LIMITED EDITION"  parallel.  I have most if not all of the base version and I had 1 of the LE, but got lucky here and didn't double up. Now I have most of the LE too!






I did double up on Tate though. Apparently he is tearing up the basepaths down in the minors. I believe Drake Bowmans best is a refractor....I forget now. Shiny Hank Aaron cards you bet.



heck, even if Hank is shiny his cards that I don't have will be welcomed with the same appreciation! A new to me Brave auto. I do the other stuff Thursday.

Have a wonderful evening. My post from yesterday just popped up on my roll at 3pm today. Let's see how long it takes this one. UPDATE: POSTED INSTANTLY, LOL.

  1. Steak is steak as long as its medium rare!

  2. Nice cards! Hopefully you get to use your grill soon - charcoal only is the way to go.

    If you're interested, I've finally started a card blog: https://theignorantcollector.blogspot.com/

  4. I love that commemorative Aaron set. I have the base but didn’t realize there’s a Limited Edition version.
    I have the set Topps did of Mantle and Mays also. Didn’t they do one of Ryan? I think I have one but don’t remember.
    My wife loves steak, even more when I cook them. I’m more of a burger guy. It’s a long summer, you’ll have plenty of time to break in the new grill.
    Enjoy!

    1. The steaks were still good! I'm not sure if Topps did a ryan set or not.

  5. I'm sure I'm gonna hear it from others... but I actually prefer a pan fried steak. But just like Tom commented... it has to be medium rare. That being said... I prefer my burgers from a grill.
