Perhaps card companies are hoping every set will catch on and everyone will be trying to complete the parallels in every set, but Ticket to Stardom?

I don't remember where though. Not anything I would ever consider doing. Heck I am not even going to try for the gold team set. <br /><br />People chase parallels. Even you chase them. A&G Mini cards are a parallel so are refractors.AdamEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107347958456472504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-21485475853626987002011-01-17T06:17:52.391-05:002011-01-17T06:17:52.391-05:00And I was expecting a post on Doc Halladay!!And I was expecting a post on Doc Halladay!!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04627910006882277261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-25292973968425402512011-01-16T20:29:08.342-05:002011-01-16T20:29:08.342-05:00no, UD didn't dump a pile of documentary cards...no, UD didn't dump a pile of documentary cards in Missouri. They dumped some in New Mexico, too! ;)<br /><br />I just ordered my last 6 boxes of Documentary on a weekend sale. Curious about how many total I bought, I went through my wax stash last night and found that when those 6 come, it'll be *GASP* 27 boxes! I didn't realize I got so carried away with that.<br /><br />I am trying to build the set - you have a challenging set, dirt cheap boxes, and a lack of Topps Total. If Toppps Total were brought back, I probably wouldn't be so gung-ho in building the documentary set, but since topps total is gone, I wanted something fun to work towards.<br /><br />I'm 3 boxes into the project and have about a third of a monster box full of cards.<br /><br />If you think I"m crazy, there is someone else crazier. They are trying to build the gold parallel set of 2008 Documentary! I"m not getting rid of any of my golds just yet because I'm hoping to trade with that guy - trade golds for the base I'll need once I get closer to finishing my stash of boxes.Two Packs A Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07195977957843437931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-10797848383206454832011-01-16T17:44:23.744-05:002011-01-16T17:44:23.744-05:00From the title I was expecting a post about Doc Go...From the title I was expecting a post about Doc Gooden.Feather Chuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17816824282816730471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-83401246351495132122011-01-16T15:44:40.987-05:002011-01-16T15:44:40.987-05:00Come on, say it - "Get off my lawn!!" ;...Come on, say it - "Get off my lawn!!" ;-)<br /><br />The local card shop here busted up his two remaining boxes, so there are a slew of UD Documentary to pick through. I like the set much like people like a stupid sitcom; anyone that can put Daisuke on a card featuring Jon Lester's no-hitter (and probably taken at a different stadium) is hilarious. Plus, I like to send them to people because there is a 96% chance they don't already have them. And a 55% chance that they might appreciate them. :-P<br /><br />In any case, glad to help you get your rant out for the week!

They can be fun at times, or for some sets, but they are way out of control and downright useless in many situations.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10801225215269871537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-64138653919591924902011-01-16T14:30:31.813-05:002011-01-16T14:30:31.813-05:00Sweet Kemp card!Sweet Kemp card!Greg Zakwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064188830164937436noreply@blogger.com
