How's it going? I'm Walker Neilson, a Portland Trail Blazer fan for life. I chose to begin a blog for 2010. I don't know how far it will go, but I'll try to have frequest posts on here. It will be a mix of NBA talk and sports card talk. Thanks!

Cheap group break, anyone?

Hey all,

This blog post comes to you in two parts.

Part 1: NBA World

Portland has won 8/10 games this month and 9 of their last 11. Currently, we're a hair behind San Antonio. I'm talking 0.3% behind. If we were to fail in avoiding the Lakers in the first round by that margin, I'd be mad. Luckily, we have a big game coming up against OKC, the 6th seed, this Sunday. Ideally, we prove that we deserve that 6th seed and play Dallas in the first round. This season, we've definitely proved that we can give them a run for their money.

In other news, I found this video. Blazermania personified.

Part 2: Hobby World

You may or may not know (you probably don't) that I have chosen to start up a set collection. A product collection, to be more precise. I'm going to try and finish a many subsets as I can from:

2008/09 TOPPS HARDWOOD BASKETBALL

I don't have too many right now, but I'm making some trades for some. Guy over at Basketball Card Blog suggested I open up a box to kick it off. I would really like to, but I just can't afford by myself right now. So...I'm going to try and fill a group break of this stuff (only one box). I know I only have 3 followers, so this probably won't help much, but if you're interested, the video about it can be found here.

The options are:

A) 15 spots, $8.50 paypal per spot

Randomize all names, put them in a draft order, everyone gets to choose from the teams that are left when their turn comes up

OR

B) 10 spots, $12 paypal per spot

Randomize all names at the end of the break, people get to choose which card each time their name comes up in the draft. More info on the video description.

So, yeah. I already have a testimonial--Guy is willing to join in ;).

Thanks everyone!

  2. Hey TJ,

    Thanks a bunch, man! So far, I have 4 spots accounted for in option B, including myself. I'll let you know if (hopefully when) I get closer to 10 people, and then I'll make an official sign up video.
