Weekend Getaway

My wife and I are heading to New York City today for a short weekend getaway.  It was a surprise birthday present that took some leg work to make happen.  Before our daughter came along we would take trips on the whim without thinking about it.  Now it takes weeks of advanced notice just to leave town for a day or two.

2014 Bowman Platinum Gregory Polanco Auto Jersey /50

By showing a little patience I've been able to add a few nice Polanco's in the past month.  The main Bowman sets are still going for high prices, but deals can be found on some other releases.  This card cost around $23 shipped.  Polanco should be starting in right field next year for the Bucs.  If he blossoms into a good player the Pirates outfield will be something to watch.

My buddy Micah will be handling Saturday duties and I'll be back for late Sunday.  

Have a great weekend.

  2. Hope you enjoy being in the city man. I would recommend some shops but in Manhattan you're expected to pay Manhattan prices for everything, cards included. So you'd be better off just sticking with eBay.

    1. Thanks. No cards on this trip. Maybe I'll buy a fake rolex.

  4. Right on Matt what a great present. My wife surprised me with Cards Dodgers game in LA for my birthday-Albert homers, and my wife had them wish me a happy birthday on their score board but they wouldn't add the go Cards for some reason.
