A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Hail, Gnafia!

It's another beautiful Friday here in San Diego. When the mice are at play, clearly the cats are away. And all of the big cats here in the office certainly ARE away, so we little mice are going to play. Huzzah!

It's been a pretty quick week here. I've managed to complete some free surveys, netting me a solid amount of Swag Bucks (Refer to the Swidget on the side if you aren't familiar with Swag Bucks) and with this weeks wins my total Amazon Gift Cards has reached $100 from Swag Bucks. That is hawt. I'm almost set to make my third purchase for my American Silver Eagle Coin Collection, a Brilliant Uncirculated 2009 American Silver Eagle! I already have the 2011 and 2010's. The only bad news is the price has almost doubled since I started collecting these bad boys. Which I guess in a way is good, but I'd rather have more of a collection if the value is going to skyrocket as it has.

I also executed a trade via http://www.sportscardforum.com/. I traded a 2011 Topps Diamond Stars Matt Holliday for a random Minnesota Twins insert of equal book value. I like these kinds of trades because you never know what you're going to get. I'll be sure to let you all know what I end up with!

I'm also looking for contemporary cards made by Topps that aren't glossy. Regular cardboard types of cards that are good for autographs. I intend on sending some of them in to the Twins to see if I can't get a few autographs from some of the less-popular players. Also, I think I have a winner for my favorite Twin. Mr. Denard Span. He is a devout Christian and really represents somebody I can enjoy watching and not feel bad about because he's such an all-around swell guy. Thoughts?

I've also started putting some things up on eBay to see if I can't generate a little extra cash flow from decluttering the house. Speaking of decluttering...

I'd like to take this opportunity to talk about Listia. Listia is a free auction-based website where people put up their items they no longer want and other members bid on those items using Listia credits. Credits are obtained by various means, most of them 100% free. So it's kind of like a sophisticated swap meet. There's all sorts of great stuff on there, from practical to impractical. Baby clothes, cool coins, baseball cards, random weird stuff, anything goes! I'm getting into it and have already completed my first auction. I encourage everyone to check it out! Click here to sign up and see! You'll start with a few hundred credits to get yourself started, and it might be good enough to get a neat little trinket or something!

Thats all for now, have a great weekend Gnafia!
