Surprisingly, a couple of rare autos popped up last week. I had seen that these two had sold before so I was aware of them. I did not expect them both to pop up again within a couple of days of each other. Today, I received one of them:
This is the 2018 Topps Tier One Breakout Autographs Bronze Ink and it is serial-numbered to 25. The bronze ink really pops and matches well with the design.I am still disappointed that Lin is not on the ALCS roster. I thought he had a chance when Mitch Moreland injured his hamstring in the ALDS. I still think that Lin would have been a pretty good bet to be a late-inning pinch runner. Alex Cora has mostly used Moreland as a pinch-hitter for Sandy Leon and Christian Vazquez and then promptly pinch-ran for him using the alternate catcher, neither of whom can really run at all. That would be a perfect spot for Lin.
And now for some music:
This is Landmine Marathon, an unfortunately short-lived death/grind band that sounded like a mix of early Carcass, Napalm Death, and Bolt Thrower. They briefly achieved notoriety due to the aesthetic appeal of frontwoman Grace Perry. I suspect Perry left the band at least partly due to constant objectification (Damn you Revolver). I quite enjoyed the band. They are still officially active but have not released anything new since 2012.
