Fluffy

It was a dark, cold and slightly rainy 7pm night as my wife and I sat outside at the two-hour away county fair in late August.

The temperatures were in the 40's, cold hit hard and shivers began as we waited for the show to begin knowing once it did, the cold won't be hopefully as noticeable.

*needed HOT coffee..why didn't the fair offer coffee*

The show started off very slow in the beginning and cold continued to set in. That's the problem with shows, they have opening acts and when they don't hit a home run, it makes you want that main act even more.

In coffee terms, it's like having creamer without the coffee.

Or in the hobby having a card wrapper without the cards.

But, then a little after 9pm...the moment we had been waiting for happened...FLUFFY appeared on the stage!

YES! We got to see the legendary Gabriel "Fluffy Guy" Iglesias live!

 

Before the show began, it was told we weren't allowed to video or take pictures during the performance, which stunk because the pictures would have been great.

 

However, in the final like five minutes of the show, they allowed photos and video. It went by very fast just like the show. But, it was amazing and it was worth sitting in the cold for.

After the show, I had to search for Fluffy autographs since they didn't have any available at the show. Usually all non-sport autos are for nostalgic reasons.

Found one. And I am a Looney Tunes fan so it's a double win.

This was the first show, concert or show, that I have been to in over 20 years.

Yeah, I don't get out much unless it's for coffee.

Well, I hope everyone has enjoyed this week of posts! I still have so much to catch up on.

Thanks for reading and Happy November!

In comments, let me know if you are a fan of Fluffy or if you have seen his stand-up live or what the best comedian is you have seen live.

Welcome To The Space Jam

*feeling a little groggy from yesterday's booster shot, sits down with a cup of coffee and is ready to get a quick post up on #CardsOverCoffee*

One of the biggest movie hits of the summer has made it onto cardboard now. Upper Deck who created cards for the original Space Jam movie (I wished I had some of those) created cards for it's long awaited sequel. I think it was pretty obvious that UD would make these knowing they have the LeBron James licensing rights.

I watched this movie when it came out streaming this summer and thought it was okay.  By okay, it was better than I expected but not close to the first movie. To me nothing beats an original and I think this proves again why MJ is still better than LeBron. Not only can MJ own the court, but he can also own a movie screens.

*takes a sip*

Last week at Walmart I found a blaster box of the product sitting on the shelf. I went back and forth with myself for awhile before coming to the conclusion that I needed to break one. Not only did I want to pull an autograph, I am aiming for the Gabriel Iglesias auto, but I think the manufactured film cell cards are cool as well.

There are 6 packs of 5 cards per blaster. I didn't see the price before I scanned it but was happy to see it was only $19.98. Seems cheap in comparison to other products out there.

The base cards feature the characters from the movie as you would expect.

 

And each pack came with one of these blue parallels.

The disappointing part for me was getting two duplicates out of the thirty cards.

There is one Ready To Jam per box as well. These cards look pretty cool. I tried to capture the rainbow foil the best I could.

And then came my favorite card from the box, a Breaking The Game 3D Lenticular card. This, this is cool. If I keep losing my hair, I may look like Elmer in the near future as well.

*takes a sip before finishing up today's post*

I rate this as a lot of fun. I know it's not in the flippers checklist of products, but I wouldn't mind opening one again or chasing the Lenticular set.

In comments today, tell me your thoughts on this product, on the Space Jam movie and if you have seen this movie and your thoughts on it.
