When I went outside to load my laptop in the car, I seen this. I said not good, it was freezing rain.
It had only started raining 30 minutes earlier.
This was 30 minutes later.
Obviously the the rain quickly turned to snow.
That is where I had parked my car over night I moved when the snow started.
This was heading to the interstate.
I would up having to replace my wiper blades when I got to Florida, lol.
Anyways, back to baseball cards. I posted Wednesday, and had a bunch of family stuff to get done. Then I headed back to Valdosta via Jacksonville (2.5 hrs out of the way), but I had to go to my regular card show (there are shows somewhere in Jax every week).
I stayed the entire show 8:30-2:30. I figured after not sleeping a wink Friday night, I got up showered and headed up.
I wasn't going to post tonight (I'm still wiped out from this last trip). But after JUST finishing reading NO post, I had to get off my lazy butt and start posting the card show haul. I picked up the partial team sets for those clubs above. They were in a quarter box, and I made the guy throw these and whole bunch more oddballs in a deal for no charge. But the other oddballs will have to wait.
No 1970 Kellogg's, but I won't complain about any from this haul.
Most are pristine, and I definitely can relate to Greg's post. Hell, I'm feeling a little pepped up right now just posting these guys.
Like I said, I'm still pretty wiped and I'll be driving back to Ocala in a couple of days too. I've been busting my keester since I got back too.
I didn't have my want list with me, so I was taking a chance on all of this higher valued Kellogg's. I got lucky with only 3 duplicates. I really don't mind because they will go to the PC's.
Yes! Both Babe Ruth cards. This is a 15 card set and I just grabbed 11 of them with 1 swoop.
Just need 3 more now.
That's it for tonight. But, I figured if I want to get this show done and posted I had better start, Greg's post was just the push I needed, and damn if I don't feel better already. And NO I am not crying teh Bulldogs didn't win, yes I DID want them too and even went to bed thinking they had it wrapped up only to wake up to WTF. When it is all said and done, I switched from being a Dawg to a Gator along time ago.
Have a good night all.
That looks like it was some car trip! And wow, what a show haul!
ReplyDeleteHell of a Kellogg's lot!
ReplyDeleteWeird Johnny Bench card in the 1981 Coca-Cola. His regular Topps card has his normal skin tone but here he is airbrushed and looks like a zombie.
ReplyDeleteThat Cobb Kellogd card is outstanding!
ReplyDeleteWas the show at the location off 95 north, or was it on Baymeadows Rd?
When I lived there I loved going to the shows.
The guy running the shows has JAX sports Cards on the Westside of Town.
He is still running the shows, but they are at the Ramada off of Hartley Rd. now
DeleteI can deal with snow (in regards to snowboarding and skiing), but ice sucks. On the other hand... those Kellogg's cards rule.
ReplyDeleteHey ... this DOES look like my post from yesterday. Except your Kellogg's cards are much snazzier ... and I have more snow.
ReplyDeleteTold you, and to think I wasn't going to post, it was fate saying JUST DO IT. LOL. As for the snow, you can keep it all. LOL.
