Going into the Basement.

In about a month, a Master's in Applied Economics from George Mason University will (hopefully) be conferred to me. The next few weeks will be hectic for me, and as such, will probably not post anything here until then.

If you need your Stale Gum fix, there's always the ol' Twitter feed.

In the meantime I'll leave you with this...

The "Great Video Trading Card War of 2011" is the cardboard equivalent of the East Coast/West Coast rap wars of the mid-90s. Panini = Bad Boy; Upper Deck = Death Row; and Topps are the "Dirty South" rappers who just "Have something to say" at the Source Awards.

Let's all hope this doesn't end in violence.

You need to be on Twitter. (SRSLY)

I know what you're thinking. Yet another social-media doo-hickey? Really?

Yeah, really.

If you're a serious card collector, you need to be on Twitter; if only for the nightly dialogues between myself (@stalegum) and Chris Olds (@chrisolds2009).

And if you're already in Twitter, feel free to follow me.

In case you missed it...

Earlier today, I twitter-broke a box of the new Bowman Baseball. To see what I got, go to my Twitter feed.
