One of the 2013 Chrome cards I picked up recently was this Nelson Cruz black refractor #17/100.
Just kidding. I'm not one for all the Ebay all-caps hype, but when I saw this one listed along with a base Chrome Cruz for $1.99 so I bought it. I don't think the seller realized Cruz's uniform number was 17 because he didn't even list it in the title. Works for me.
I had a Nelson Cruz mishap at my house over the weekend. As I don't have anywhere to display my few assorted collectibles, I keep them boxed up. Well....
the new dog apparently isn't a big Cruz fan. He tore into the bobblehead I got from a friend. His wife works for the Rangers so she sometimes gives him stuff to give me. Nice hookup.
Fortunately, Cruz himself was none the worse for wear so I tossed the box and left Nelson out to guard my computer. Step away from the keyboard young man.
My new dog hasn't gotten into my hobby stuff yet and she better not. She is, apparently, a fan of Mexican food. I got home the other night and she managed to have eaten three avocados and a package of guacamole seasoning.
ReplyDeleteMr. Cruz is a happier bobble now that he's been freed from his styrofoam home. Your dog is a hero!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, it wasn't that hard to find a place for him on my desk. It's just not the ideal location.
DeleteMaybe he just needs a few more bobbles to keep him company ;-) Hope you and your family have a happy Thanksgiving and a safe holiday season.
DeleteWatch out ...My buddy had a Fleer Michael Jordan rookie..His worst idea ever was to get a puppy.. Did I mention he HAD a Jordan rookie...
ReplyDeleteBased on how the box looks, that is crazy that the bobblehead is unharned.
ReplyDeleteWhew, lucky dog.
ReplyDeleteI remember when watching Fat Albert as a kid, his little brother Russell would always make a joke and use the letters "NC". Someone would ask him what NC stood for, and he said NO CLASS!
ReplyDeleteOh, and bad dog btw...
