COMC.com - My First Time

I've heard fellow bloggers talk about comc.com (COMC Card Marketplace and checked it out some time back and I dove right in.  Over a few months I filled out my cart and received my first order last week.  I was very haphazard and put zero planning into this.  I ended up all over the place as I'd think of a player or card and say hey I need that.  I'll definitely put more thought into my purchases moving forward which will also mean I need to have a better handle on exactly what i have in regards to individual players.  That's all good motivation for me. For now you'll see me show off the cards I did pick up starting with Tom Brady.
 I'm a huge Tom Brady fan as he is a Michigan alum but amazingly I don't have that many cards of his.  Combining my love of those great Michigan uniforms, Tom Brady and the Contenders brand of cards I was very excited to see there were plenty at COMC to pick up.  I really like how these look.
  A couple more Contenders cards and a nice Rookie & Stars that has a similar design. 
I picked up far more Brady cards than any other player in this order.  I think because I didn't have many it made it very easy.  I've always liked that 2011 retro uni card of Brady so it was a fun pickup.  I'll continue to show off the cards I picked up this go around so expect to see more posts on those soon.





Again I need to figure out how to start cataloging those cards and sets I have in my personal collection better so that future COMC purchases are not so all over the place.  Idea has been born...a plan will hopefully follow soon...

Website Review: Major Spoilers

This is my first website review.  I'm doing it for mostly selfish reasons.  I want to share the site with others because of how much I enjoy it.  I don't remember exactly when I found the site but have been going to it for at least four to five years now.  The site centers around comic books but also touches on the pop culture world as it pertains to nerdom.  I think they do a great job with reviews of comics, news and podcasts.  They don't just keep to the big two when it comes to comics, DC and Marvel, and also have a website devoted to the smaller comic companies called Minor spoilers.  They do multiple podcasts with the Major Spoilers podcast anchoring everything with a dueling reviews podcast and a podcast specific to gaming also mixed in.  To top it off the folks running the site do it as a second job.  To that end they rely on advertising and donations to help run the site.  Again I can't say enough about this site and how much I enjoy it.
 
To be honest I haven't actively read comics in some time but that should tell you how much I enjoy the website.  I do intend on reading actively again when life settles down and Major Spoilers has been a great bridge until I do.  Bottom line is this is a great site with excellent content.  Anyone who enjoys comics should have this site book marked at the top of their list.   Below are links to get you there:
