WE HAVE ELECTRICITY!

Wow!  At approx. 6pm Wed. night the power was FINALLY turned on.  It is so nice to have the phone ring and the lights on.  This is too cool!  I am a bit behind here but I hope to catch up in the next few days.  New gaming listing, hot pulls and video breaks will be posted soon – hopefully today.  Thanks for your patience.

Store has no power, but still open.

Paula’s Sports Cards has not had power since 1pm Friday.  Yes, of course we are still open, but we close early @ 5:30pm.  It gets too dark to see well.  Unless, you are playing FNM.  Somehow they can still play in the dark.  Thank you to all who played – you guys are just hard core!   

The buildings main fuse box blew.  The building is so old that they had to hunt down the parts.  We will hopefully get power back on mid-day, Tuesday 1/18.  Life is really different w/o power.  Really boring at the store.  Lucky it’s winter, as it doesn’t get warm until late afternoon.  On a side note, my home computer will not boot up also since Friday night.  I am using my gaming laptop computer at home right now.  I will have a new gaming schedule posted for the MTG pre-release events within a day or two.  Don’t type too fast on this keyboard……… 

I am really short on time nowadays w/o power at the store as I have to set up and do everything before I get there.  I literally can’t do anything except clean the store – and what fun is that!?  So if you are bored come visit, as I am likely bored too.  Take care all and I hope you are out there having fun.

MERRY CHRISTMAS WEBMASTER RUSS!

Yes, I know I am a bit late with my salutations, but I am a “better late than never person”.  I am not sure why I am so late, but I know that I have not even had time to write a web post to wish everyone reading this HAPPY HOLIDAYS!  

For everyone that enjoys this website, I want you all to know that it was built and maintained by Russ S. out of kindness, generosity, possibly stupidity and his desire to get Paula’s Sports Cards, Etc. into the 21st century’s mode of communication.  Because of the website, I have been blessed with many customers and visitors who have followed us here on the website and decided to take side trips here while on vacation.  Russ also set up the twitter account and Face book fan page that many of you enjoy.  I just want you and everyone else to know that I truly appreciate all that you have done for me.  

I would really appreciate it if some of you would hit him up on twitter (ParkRat) or post something on our face book page to thank him for all his efforts.  I want to thank you with a couple of cool cards that I have for you – pictures attached.  I will drop them off very soon,  hopefully tomorrow.  They are a small gift of thanks, to show my appreciation for all you do!   πŸ™‚  Merry Christmas Russ!!!  

Thank you all my customers and friends for making this year one of my most memorable.  I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  Take care and I hope to see you all soon!

December 2nd was even hotter! Cool Pulls – Pictures attached! :)

Hey All!

Wow, were does all the time go?!  Yes, I still have lots of scans to post but have needed to do this follow up story first.  Remember my last hot pulls post for Thursday, Dec. 2ND?  Kidd Logo man, Miami Tag-man, Bird, Erving, John Wall & Randy Couture autos……..Well, Dec. 2ND, may as well have been the HOTTEST day ever for Aaron and  his fiancee Amanda.  Aaron and Amanda are both UH Medical Students who are going through rotations at Queen’s.  Free time is a very short commodity for them, but they were “lucky” to have worked so much that they had a free night off together.  They decided to spend some of their free time doing one of Aaron’s favorite pastimes – busting packs.  They really did not know what to open but knew that they wanted product that they could pull something huge – AND THEY DID!  They purchased two 09/10 UD Draft Bskt, one Greats of the Game, and one UD regular hobby.  They pulled:

UD Draft Alumni Randy Coutour
UD Draft Alumni Kobe Bryant
Greats of the Game Michael Jordan / Bill Russell dual auto

Both the Randy Coutour and Kobe Draft Alumni’s came out of the same box!  BTW, for those who shop here, it was the open box on the pack shelf that I could not sell for two months.  The one and only Greats of the Game box yielded the Michael Jordan & Bill Russell redemption.  They only struck out on the Upper Deck Hobby box and other UD Draft. They got all this great stuff out of only four boxes and batted .500 (.750 if you count it as 3 hits in 4 boxes).  Again the store seemed even hotter as it really was a slow sales day.  I am just happy it was a REALLY HOT ONE!!!           

I will be back soon with the other scans. 

I hope your holiday season is going well.  BTW our Holiday hours are:

Christmas Eve noon – 7pm
Christmas Day 11am – 4pm
New Years Eve noon – 6pm
New Years Day 11am – 4pm

Take care and Happy Holidays Everyone!

With Smiles & Aloha from The Store,

Oct. & Nov. Gaming Results:

Yikes!   Our Nov. 26, 2010 FNM events were cleared by mistake.  I was in a rush to leave the store last Friday and forgot to transmit the events.  When I got in Sat. AM I tried to bring up the events and they were gone.  My laptop went to it’s sleep function and the events were not saved.  I know I have left them overnight before and sent them later but I have no idea why they erased this time.  I am very sorry to not be able to credit the event.  I do have the names of the top four finishers.  See below:
