Mailday Roundup

Lots of new stuff arrived at Collector HQ in recent days, including a couple blogger care packages.

 

Some stuff from Jon and Stuart (but not Jon Stewart haha) plus a couple eBay purchases, including...


... this Carey Price completes a set I started 16 years ago. Really didn't want to pay $100+ for this card while he was playing, but now that he's retired I was able to snag this for under $40. My eBay buddy Baseball Brittie got this and an incoming Anthony Richardson RC for me with sale proceeds. The wantlist is getting so small I might have to start new set projects.


The Jeff George Pro Set variations were from a stack Stuart sent me. Just need one more card (two if you count the Super Bowl MVP insert set).


On Saturday I shipped out a couple eBay items and care packages of my own, and when I returned I had a box from Dennis waiting at my door:

 

Lots of Red Sox items including about 60 more cards. 

 

Hoo boy... I need a new storage plan lol.

Dennis also included some Dan Marino items, including a couple more magazines:



and this Action Packed promo in a repurposed floppy disk sleeve.

The SI for Kids mag did not have the trading card panel, but it did have an early Simpsons ad:



Thank you Dennis, Jon, and Stuart!

  1. Great stuff from Jon, Stuart, and eBay! Congrats on knocking off a 16-year set build. That Piersall in the first scan is a particularly nice highlight (I'm a big fan of Archives Reserve). I'm glad you enjoyed your stuff from me, and nice catch on the Simpsons ad!
