Sorry for the delayed start for this annual rite. My wife and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary this past week, so we treated ourselves to an expensive dinner on Friday night. I enjoyed a delicious lobster mac and cheese, followed by an amazing filet mignon. It was a great meal, just a great fuckin' meal. As a bonus, I didn't even have to tie my coat around my waist as we were leaving.
So, we're getting the start of Card-vent on December 2 this year. Stuff happens. It's a really nice calendar this year, and I'm hoping for a bunch of great cards behind these doors. Let's pop open the first one.
2022 Topps MLS #R-SB Sebastian Blanco Jersey Relic (709/850)
This is a bittersweet card. Blanco has been a top two favorite Timber of mine (along with Diego Chara) since he arrived after Portland's only MLS Cup of 2015. He's never been quite the same since an injury a few seasons ago, but was still a formidable scoring threat. This past week the Timbers released their 2024 team roster, of which Blanco was not a part. I hope he's able to find success elsewhere at this point in his career.
Happy anniversary. Sounds like a fantastic meal, glad you enjoyed. Nice looking relic. I know nothing about MLS but the Timbers kit is really sharp.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! That steak and lobster mac and cheese sounds amazing... even at 5:32 in the morning.
