Dickey Prime Cuts

I don't know if I have allergies or a persistent cold right now, but I am leaning toward it being allergies. Either way, I have been pretty miserable for the last few days, especially when I've been cleaning up around the house and in the yard. Benadryl doesn't seem to do much for me, so I've been on a relatively steady dosage of DayQuil. It stinks to be the snuffly, sneezy guy in the office, but after a lifetime with horrible allergies I am kinda used to it.


I picked up this R.A. Dickey autograph on eBay a while back. It comes from 2016 Panini Prime Cuts Baseball. Prime Cuts is one of those products where every player has different print runs, so you have to look at a spreadsheet to figure out which parallel you've got. The spreadsheet tells me that this is the Holo Gold parallel of Dickey's autograph, and my card is # 10 / 10. As far as I know, Dickey hasn't signed anywhere yet for 2018, but I'm sure that if he wants to keep playing some team will pick him up. He did okay for Atlanta last season, and the knuckleball doesn't regress with age as much as other pitches.

  1. I should buy a lottery ticket, as I'm the only person in my department/family who hasn't yet gotten sick this year. Hope you feel better soon!

    And somebody call the mohel, because that's one prime Dickey cut! Congrats on the pickup.

    1. This comment made me laugh. I'm glad I watched Meet the Fockers, so I was all learned up on mohels.

  2. I don't know if you've ever tried it before, or if it would do you any good or not, but I recently started taking Flonase, and have found it to be of some use. It hasn't alleviated all of my allergy symptoms, but it has made it a lot easier for me to breathe, so that has definitely been appreciated.

    1. It's been a few years since I tried Flonase. Maybe I'll have to give it another go.

  3. Allergy season has arrived in my town too. Like Jon, I just started using Flonase before bed. It's helped a little with my post nasal drip.

    1. Maybe I'll give it a shot. I hate being in a medicine-induced haze all the time.
