I've never understood why they cut up a relic more than they have to. One piece = one window...no gaps between or rotating one piece 90 degrees to make it look different. That's part of why I like chasing a master set of a guy who's only duals are with other players or from leaf certified materials, which is just like tools of the trade.<br /><br />A for the states...I like the idea but do not like the execution. Once I saw prices I said okay, that's crazy, maybe I'll just get the states I've been educated/lived in (Massachusetts, Ohio, Indiana). Ohio I like because it's a piece of roller coaster and coasters are HUGE in Ohio. But I have a huge beef with Massachusetts...as in WHY IS ALL OF NEW ENGLAND ONE PIECE? New Hampshire could've been granite...Vermont could've been something to do with maple, Maine could've been lobstah themed...all sorts of ideas. As a native Masshole I dislike it when people lump us all together like we're one mega state...hasn't been that way since the dawn of the USA Ginter, so way to go you buncha jerks.<br /><br />Moral of the story: Chasing Ohio, not chasing Mass (though the relic is cool), undecided on Indiana since I dunno what it is yet.SpastikMoosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13374559066158419166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657985600764530650.post-66117675375414675702011-07-22T15:48:20.703-07:002011-07-22T15:48:20.703-07:00When you get your cushy executive position at Topp...When you get your cushy executive position at Topps, remember who got you there.
