Making progress on multiple fronts plus a care package.

 I am making progress are numerous fronts. The one/slash two that comes to mind immediately are GETTING ATLANTA BRAVES I NEED, and re-organizing the Star Wars stuff. That one required a display curio. I went to Ormond yesterday and made headway on both of those fronts. 

There is some bad news to report though. No more $30.00 dime boxes. He now wants $75.00 as a guy now comes up to his shop every two weeks and buys all of what he has and pays $75.00 per box for them. I figure he is either going into business as a dealer or is a "re-packer". Either way, that sucks. I picked up 2 2/3 boxes. I squabbled a bit, and got the partial box no charge and reduced pricing down to $60.00 on the other 2. Lot of goodies though. Well, that is not speaking of the 4K of the cards that were from this years Panini Prizm release, loaded with all of the parallels too. I know you guys aren't into the logo-less cards, but dang if the boxes of that stuff are through the roof as if it were a high end set. Check the prices out for yourself.

I did also grab 28 of their 2 for $5 cards and six 1 dollar cards. Now, I am not a willing participant paying that kind of money for dimes cards (even though many of them can be found in dollar boxes as you will soon see- just not tonight. I am still spoiled getting all of those I have picked up for the last decade at $20-25.00. Anyways, I didn't put them back, as the shop also gave me one of their tall glass display curio's for free, and a short white book case that matches the taller one and the shorter one I already have, the book shelves that actually have books on them, lol. I couldn't get them yesterday so I had to go back today and get it and needless to say I hit up the dollar boxes pretty hard (170+), and 28 from the $5.00 boxes, a complete set of the 2024 Topps Chrome Galaxy Star Wars set, and got an 8' foldable legs table to boot. This time I got a super deal, paid less today than I did yesterday.

Okay progress made for sure with the Braves and the display case. Hopefully I get everything moved around in three rooms to accommodate the changes needed before May the 4th, hint hint. 

Now for tonight's real post :)

Blog reader Bill Kearney sent me a care package and a letter as he is coming to Florida in about a week. Hopefully, we can meet up. Bill hit me with the Braves you see above and below. These are just the needs, he sent plenty more but I did have those.

Bill also sent one more item that I didn't have.

This one is sitting side by side with my other Chipper bobble that Julie sent me a few years back (they are different). 

Thank you Bill, looking forward to seeing you down here.....AGAIN. We met up at the Jax card show a couple years back too.
