My Packer Season Ticket Update Is Here [2013 Edition]

A few weeks ago I received my yearly postcard from the Green Bay Packers letting me know where I sit on the season ticket waiting list.  Here is the progress I've made since 2007:

2007: 69,193

2008: 68,158 [moved up 1,035 places]

2009: 67,338 [moved up 820 places]

2010: 66,898 [moved up 440 places]

2011:  I can’t seem to find a scan of the postcard but...
2012: 65,890 [I moved up 1,008 places over 2 years]

I've been eagerly waiting this year's postcard because it is the first to include the huge addition the Packers made to Lambeau Field. So I was expecting a big jump in my position and certainly the biggest jump I've ever seen in my time on the list.

And I wasn't disappointed.  I'm all the way up to 60,604 which is an improvement of 5,286 spots which is 5X more that I've ever moved up before.  I'm still a long way from getting that magic letter with my chance to get my tickets.  But now that Lambeau Field holds 80,750  fans it is nice to now I'm about 25% of the way there.   

The Pitch Gif

I'm not sure if that this has been posted elsewhere on other card blogs but about a month ago on the subreddit r/woahdude the user TheJoePilato posted this great gif of some 20+ odd junk wax cards showing a pitcher going through the motion of throwing a pitch. I can stare at this for an embarrassing long amount of time.

A Day of the Doctor Special Unbubbling: Opening A Doctor Who Tardis

Today is a pretty big day for Doctor Who fans and so in honor of that I'm dusting off some videos I recorded over the summer of me ripping some Doctor Who related packs and products.  The first one is a great big Tardis I found on clearance at Half Price Books.
