What is my FINE? I am overdue.

 There is no fine, just lots and lots of posts lined up that have been in que for a couple of months now. After knocking out the first half of the Tampa show that I attended back in October I am feeling the need to drop a few incoming posts on you.


First up is a package that originated with our Canadian friend Angus. I say originated because he hand delivered it to the owner of "Too many Verlanders" who in turn mailed it to me, and threw in a few cards of his own. A double dip for me.






I needed these Elway, and pretty sure he knew this from checking TCDB. Finally added to the Elway collection and updated the data. That was the first time since I don't know Wes dropped a bunch on me. Thank you for extra extra surprise.


Now for the cards that actually came from Angus, who gave me a heads up in advance about sending some Opeechee cards.





Do I collect Star Wars cards? Why yes I do, and i did in fact need these. I wasn't expecting non sports cards, but they most certainly are appreciated. I really wasn't sure what Angus would be sending, maybe 80's or 90's OPC, I didn't have a clue. So these definitely caught me off guard, but before you fans of baseball cards get let down....





Yeah baby, a beautiful sweet playing days 1969 OPC Hank Aaron. You got to admit that was well worth the wait to see it last.


Thanks to both of you. Now that I got this finally posted I can work on a return (Greg, in case you forgot- I'll be (once I figure out what to send) dropping cards for Angus on you.

  4. a. I remember the days when I had posts lined up in my que waiting to be edited, revised, and published. But it's a long time.

    b. Star Wars cards rule. Never have even considered buying or building the 1977 OPC Star Wars sets. That would be so awesome.

    c. Sweet Aaron. Very generous gift from Angus.
