Round, hard things you can't spend or eat

I haven't had much time for card stuff lately and during a brief break in the action yesterday (i.e. someone I needed to interview stiffed me), I decided to stop by Target and buy some cards just to prove I still could.

I wound up with a blaster of last year's Archives, which ideally would be fun. But I've finished off almost all the Dodgers and I'm not trying to complete the set so this was purely a mad money purchase.

Also, when I opened the blaster it occurred to me why I avoided Archives blasters last year:

1. Those blasted Sandlot cards. I'm about 1 of 2 bloggers who doesn't appreciate that movie and there is no reason for me to have the cards. I ended up with one of the cards -- don't ask me who it was, it wasn't the girl or the guy in the Dodgers hat.

2. Coins

The coins are an exclusive to the blasters.

I've never gotten into collectible coins. I have several of the '60s ones but that's because they're from the '60s and everything made back then is cool. But the '80s coins just clutter up the place. I can't spend them or eat them so what is the point?

I end up throwing them in a box where they clink around, annoying me. I should really store them in pages like I have with the '80s baseball pins, but I need to get myself to care first.

Also, I don't like how they tend to rust when they get older. I feel like I'll get tetanus. That's mostly because of my mom freaking me out about stepping on rusty nails when I was a kid but it's still very real.

Anyway, I just opened the package here on my limited dinner break and these are the results:

OK. That's enough of that.

What's next?
