I got a package as did many of us recently from Mark. I will have to split the goodies up into two posts. One for tonight and one will have to wait a few weeks at which time you will understand why.
TCDB: They finally updated the Braves input for me. Now I am 574 cards behind him. I'm telling you that I need to go to Atlanta (or nearby) visit some family and tear up every card shop I can taking all of the ATL Braves inserts and parallels, especially the parallels (pretty much could use any of those "seasonal" parallels Topps uses in series 1, 2, and update.
Back to Mount Fuji (maybe I should say Saint Fuji :)
A few years back I remember sending a partial box of ALF cards to Mark. Either he finally opened the packs or these are from a different set. He sent about a hundred from the 87' series 1 set which according to TCDB I didn't have any of the 44 card set, and I now have 21 almost half of the set.
Over the years I have usually sent Mark all of the Mascot cards I'd get as he collects them. My TCDB data showed I didn't have any of the Mascots so there is a need right there, as well as the Correa which was also a need. Opening the Opening Day pack was the right call.
Thanks Mark, and you already know why I must wait 4 week (minus 3 days) to show the rest of what you sent :)




I got a Topps Holiday mega box for a late Christmas present and I found out that the plaid parallels and the nice list/evergreen inserts are all advent calendar exclusives. Phooey.
ReplyDeleteNice variety especially the vintage cards. Proud papa news is always good to hear. Enjoy the time all!
ReplyDeleteJohnny shoot me an email for your 21 TOD set needs
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! Mark is awesome.
ReplyDeleteGlad you could use some of those cards. The ALF cards were dupes my buddy sent. As for your box, I actually have it on display in my office. You ever see man caves that have card boxes on shelves mimicking a card shop? That's kind of the vibe I'm going for. Only... there's only one box on display. Hope you needed those cards for that "February" post :D
ReplyDeleteI did and thank you!
