Incoming from a couple of bloggers

 I've gotten several deliveries of late. I need to get get a couple of them posted.


We'll start here with Nick (DimeBox).



Good Ole St Nick, lol. He held an anniversary giveaway recently for his dozen years of blogging. I claimed a few, and like Nick sent some extras.  I really do love those 2003 Topps Retired cards.



Lookie here some Braves fell into the package. Thanks Nick.  Twelve more.




The Collector dropped a needed parallel Braves card on me recently too. Gold #99/99 Eddie Mathews. See if you dig you can find cards I need. :)


Another PWE (actually 2 now) came from the Best Bubble. I'll post those up Monday (appropriately timed to get back to the Bubble Gum binder.


In other news, I went over to Deland to a Comic and Toy show to kick start 2024. There were 40-5 vendors and nearly 200 tables. Not a whole bunch of baseball cards, but there were maybe 10 vendors with cards, I didn't get any. I did buy some Star Wars toys. The Millennium Falcon, Y-Wing fighter, and Boba Fett's ship. However, on the other side of the toy show there was another show of equal size tables and vendors, but it was 99% paper and post cards (Ephemera). I've never seen so many postcards in one place. OMG (goodness). A few of those vendors had cards too. I'll have two posts with stuff I bought on that side of the show eventually. I still have to finish up with the 80K card posts, then the ComC order that came in last week (My Black /Friday purchases), then some other incoming items before I get to the toy show stuff. Might as well make mention that I'll be headlining the Franken Friday as Easy as 1-2-3 binder this week.

  1. The Carew card is plain, but fantastic!

  2. Have to say, I am kinda curious about those post cards. You didn't take any pics of them did you?

    1. I did not. There were nearly 200 tables full of them.

  3. Postcard collecting looks like a fun hobby but it's surprisingly pricy.

    I'm waiting for the trade posts to end (partly because my team is last alphabetically). Then I'm going to do a full dive into your Braves needs, set needs, etc to see how much I can come up for you.

  4. You bought a vintage Millennium Falcon and Slave 1? I sure hope you show them off in a future post.

    1. The Falcon isn't in the best of shape. But, here's an idea. Journey to the east coast and visit the "real" Sunshine State stop by stay awhile, leave with stuff. LOL. BTW your next package is almost ready to ship.

  5. Dangit, I had my eye on that McCovey and Betts from Nick's giveaway. I can't complain though.

  6. McCovey almost looks like a mannequin/statue in that photo.
