I finally got to 90 Force Score! I've been pretty oblivious to it to be honest for most of my time in SWCT but noticed a few months ago I was at like 88.something and started paying attention. My wife has like a 92 force score and it's both emasculating and sexy as hell. I can't explain it. I recently had my old alt that I had to kiss goodbye as the android tablet it was on got so bad the batteries swelled and the case actually popped apart in my hands signaling that it was either about to explode or most definitely expire in some dramatic fashion that probably would not be something I'd want happening in the house. Having heard from an old wino that sleeps behind the convenience source (my go to source for SWCT info) that quantity and sold out was a factor that moved the needle I transferred all the remaining 2015 S1 base and any inserts off, the whole time feeling like the danged thing was going to burst into flames any second. I finished and threw it away in a dumpster by the paint factory. What could go wrong? I noticed I'd now climbed into the mid 89.something range. I started paying closer attention to hoard trades, no more S3 for S4, and crosstrading with less of a focus on today's hot garbage and more with an eye towards old chestnuts like Greens, oranges and lower count old inserts even if they were not super hot popular stuff like Shadowbox. Little by little my score climbed bit by agonizing bit. I made a few mistakes here and there but throughout this week I got within spitting distance. A couple of quitters in the feed yielded yellows and reds and the oddball inserts and yesterday morning I finally did it. Legit 90 force score. Grade A idiot all the way. And best of all nobody was hurt in that big fire down at the old paint factory.

Just a quick followup, I received a pretty excited message from Huddle Playoff Challenge Champion Bishop_Eli yesterday and boy did he have good reason to be so hyped! His prize package arrived from Topps and to say it exceeded expectations is putting it lightly.
I had always expected it would have just been signed by their 2016 Cover athelete Todd Gurley but this thing was covered in sigs and two in particular that send the thing right through the stratusphere. Yeah, that's Ezekial Elliot on there. Also Joey Bosa. Also Cardale Jones, Michael Thomas and Braxton Miller. He also did get a cover pic signed by Gurley. It appears this is an Ohio State Helmet and all these players were Ohio State alums. Putting even more crossover appeal for Buckeye fans onto an already incredible piece of memorabilia. With the Big Kahuna taken care of us lesser being can probably expect to see our more modest prizes showing up soon. Congrats again to Bishop_Eli for a hard fought win and one hell of a nice prize!!! |
