New to me Braves

 I'll get to the blowout cards purchase tomorrow, as that will be more than one post. I still need to knock out some other incoming. Got 3 more surprises this past weekend via the mail too. Yet to scan those though, but I will eventually.

The day before Thanksgiving I was in Gainesville at the V.A., and spent the rest of the day at Meelpops card shop. Grabbed a ton of stuff, but because we couldn't even come anywhere close to a deal, I put everything back except for these Braves which are all needs. Well, were needs. Normally, I'd be really pissed off and wouldn't go back (I still may not), but he wound up giving me a JSA certified autographed Nick Markakis bat. 

Markakis is a PC guy of mine, however I don't do the bats and balls, or slabs cards either. Now, normally I would keep this bat, however Nick signed it with his Orioles jersey number, OH  wait a minute I have someone coming to visit in a couple of days who just so happens to be an O's fan. Bill if you are reading this, I know the bat won't fit your suitcase, but it it here for you.  :)

I really wanted the cards I put back, but the best I was getting that day was .40 each, nope uhuh wasn't happening.  Oh well, win some lose some. 

Those last two 2025 Panini cards didn't come from G'ville. I won a 150 card lot of the silver parallels off Ebay. Got two Braves yip yip yippee!

Have a great week folks.
