Where Is The Toasted Ravioli?

It's a busy day, so I am going to keep this short, simple, and sweet. I have people to see and places to go. 

My son, fifth grader, took one of his End-Of-Grade tests on Friday. He worked really hard, which is all I really care about on standardized tests. According to his teacher, he gave it.  

He choose a trip to the baseball card store and an Oreo Cookie Blizzard from Dairy Queen as his reward. There was a card show at the State Fairgrounds this weekend, but the little man does not always dig being in big crowds, so we went to our local card shop in Apex, North Carolina, Cardiacs.   

Sorry, no photos of the Oreo Cookie Blizzard. 

They're not exactly dollar boxes or quarter boxes, but they have a section of shoe boxes that has a lot of cards that are anywhere from a quarter to a few bucks. He loves them and will dig through them trying to find cards of players he has seen in games or has read about.  

This is half the wall. There are more boxes on the other side of the television. 

It was not my best photography day.  

Beyond getting a few single cards, we also picked up a few packs of Topps Series 2 cards. The little man pulled a few decent cards. Although, he also pulled a Javy Baez and Corey Dickerson, which were gifted to me because he does not like them.  

I did very well for myself, pulling a Home Field Advantage card of Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina. 

I had to pinch myself.  

I know the odds for these are pretty steep. I just wish the background included things that locals would recognize and appreciate and not just all the tourist attractions. I would throw a toasted ravioli on there, the Dirt Cheap Chicken, and one of those orange St. Louis City service trucks.  

I don't make custom cards, but here is my five minute effort to make this card feel more like St. Louis.   

That's all I got.  

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there.
