Buccaneers!

Like every other typical American girl, I am obsessed with fantasy sports leagues.  I mean, who isn’t?  Picking your favorite players, trash talking your co-managers/best buddies, winning 100 dollars at the end of a well-played season.  Now, I’ll bet you didn’t know this, but I have it on good authority that before the destruction of the Twelve Colonies, Fantasy Pyramid Leagues were all the rage. (Well, not on Sagittaron.  There it was looked upon as gambling.  Those Sagittarons need to cut loose once in a while if you ask me).  And within these leagues, the number one player pick of every season, without fail, was Samuel T. Anders.  He was the Beckham of his time… and the answer to your next question is yes, that would indeed make Kara Thrace the Posh Spice.

Alright, I may or may not have made that up.  But let’s just admit something right now–the C-Bucs and Samuel T. Anders rule! Especially in “The Plan”, when we get to see an in-depth look at the freedom fighting Cylon resistance force they were creating.  Tough, courageous heroes AND professional athletes–best combination ever.  Coming up in this next auction, we are offering many items worn and used by the Caprica Buccaneers in “The Plan”.  You can get your very own C-Bucs uniform, patch, athletic bag, and more.  Check out the following items so you can be a legend, just like Anders! (well not the Cylon thing, but all the rest of it):
