The Office Review: "Roy's Wedding" 09:01














Last season, I ripped into the Office, because of the
Nellie character and other story lines, but with the
first two episodes of season nine, I have to say, the
Office is back to it's best.

Tonight's episode revolved around, Jim trying to
keep a secret from Pam, that secret being he has
gone into a sports marketing business, against her
wishes.

The other story line was the new guy, Dwight Jnr,
(as they call him) trying to trick Erin into thinking
she is being interviewed for a  tv news position.

That story line made for kinda uneasy watching, but
the other new temp came to the rescue.

The Dwight and Nellie storyline was good in the fact
it soften Nellie's character.

The highlight of the show though, I thought was, the
beginning and the chores wheel.

Lots of great one lines, Creed's line about the
Taliban making great Heroin was a classic.

8/10


Recent Findings: Wheaties Boxes

Last week, we were given 2 boxes of random cards from a relative. The boxes contained opened and unopened cards mostly non-sport from a variety of years. We thought we would break down our findings and share them with our fans!!



Wheaties boxes are always fun..didn't know they made such a thing as Jeter Flakes..great additons.

We used to collect them with Ken Griffey Jr. on the front and they were always kept sealed. These were flat but are in great shape and we plan on using them to frame and display.

Do any of you collect boxes?

Wahoo! The Office is Back!!













Seems to trouble ahead for Jim and Pam, but
not as much as trouble as their was for the turtle.

Here's hoping Dwight Snr gets his revenge on
Dwight Jnr, (the new office boy).

I'm hoping Toby has a few more scenes this season,
and Nellie doesn't.

Episode one was great, so for it's final season,
they're may put a lot of heart and soul into
it.

Time will tell.

Fan expression of a different kind

All sorts of fan speech going around today.

The Florida Marlins signed Adam Greenberg to a one-day contract and he will play next week against the Mets (R.A. Dickey on the mound, looking for his 20th win). Greenberg was beaned  in his first Major League at-bat with the Cubs in 2005 (against the Marlins, ironically) and has spent the last seven years trying to overcome post-concussion symptoms. His opportunity came about as a result of the efforts of the One At Bat Foundation, which has been lobbying (and encouraging and helping fans to lobby) MLB and teams to sign Greenberg and allow him to get an official at-bat.

Greenberg is Jewish (he most recently played for Israel in the World Baseball Classic Qualifiers), so there is something appropriate about this happening on the heels of Yom Kippur, where we hope to be inscribed not only for a life, but for a successful and meaningful life.

NOTE: Starting tomorrow changes to the Sport Card Collectors Player Of The Day Contest

TO OUR FANS:

We have been dwelling on this for about a week about our Sport Card Collectors Player Of The Day promo not to be confused with the weekly one this is the daily one...how can we make the scores closer and award more than one fan...and how can we fix a point system that can be confusing...well...starting tomorrow we have not only fixed it but we believe you guys will be much more excited about it!

When we post the new setup in the morning, all previous posts will be gone (by end of today) and just the one post with all of the new rules, new point system, will appear. So searching for the old rules and point system you will no longer find.

It is mostly the same, except now there will be three winners instead of one. All of you in the standings have been broken down into divisions. The concept is simple, you win your division, you win the prize. The points are simpler to understand. And you keep the points you have already earned.

The contest will run into November 2nd 2012. Giving you guys plenty of time to play catch up if you are behind.

Thanks for bearing with us as we are rookies at this type of contest and it took longer to work out the kinks than expected. We believe the new format is best for all.

Thanks as always,

Sport Card Collectors

Link Update for Sport Card Collectors Player Of The Day PLEASE READ

We were just informed by a good friend that it probably isn't a good idea to post so many links because of the over-spamming of forums/facebook pages. So we are asking to dull down the links a little. Limit of 2 per day or every other day. Sorry for this but we also have the many other ways to gain points as well and we don't want to cause any problems :)

To replace this possible loss of points for some of you, we will give you 2 points per day for you to post on one of our Panini review breaks instead. There are many of them to search from on our blog search bar.

Thanks again,

Sport Card Collectors
