Freaky Friday

No, there aren't any weird cards, just my lame attempt for posting Wednesday's post two days late.

I guess the height  difference between Reggie & Bip could be a little freaky.

 

Hockey stick on a baseball card might work too. Then again so might the multi exposure cards. There are several of them in the 1995 Score. The Biggio is a Grand slam for me. Why you ask?

1 for the set build, done, 1 for the multi exposure done, 1 for the Biggio binder, not done, and 1 for the Cameo binder because the cameo player is a binder guy of mine. (a theme that I really haven't busted out-  trying to hold off til 2016.  And yes, Mark Parent is a binder guy from the birthday binders.

Wow, just Wow!  The card layout (backside) makes this leap look SO MUCH bigger than it was actually. but WOW.

Why did Ellis make this post? Simple, clearly the ball is of no interest to him in this shot.

Okay, the facial expression is a little freaky to me.

Easy one, Not everyday cardboard can you see JUGS on it.

Mickey on a baseball card.

Cards from A Cracked Bat

Julie sent a few cards my way, Got them yesterday, Apparently, the zip code was written wrong, But Good News from our Postal Service (which isn't too often) they figured it out and corrected it.  (34472).

Pretty sure I have both of these. The thing with the Bowman Platinum cards is it is so hard to tell which parallel card you have.

Julie was kind enough to send me 21 of the 30 card Team Stadium Club which I needed them. I now only need #s 1, 9, 26, and 27.

Some needed color. The Gomes is rainbow.

Again all hits here. My first Immaculate card and its numbered to /99.

Purple and Green Tribute Smoltz, very nice! I didn't even know I needed the Glavine New Pinnacle on my "non" website want list that I carry around with me.

Last but not least this beautiful GQ framed card.

Before I close out, just have to comment on the headlines today. $526K for that 1952 Mantle, please tell me there isn't collusion going on somewhere with that. Kind of overpaid by $300K huh.. Speaking of overpaying: What are the Cubbies up to? I hated it the Braves let Heyward go, but seriously $184M? And Zobrist? and.... They better watch it they may have to deal Bryant away.   LOL!  Just kidding Cub fans, good luck in 2016.

Shadow Shots

Been awhile since I last posted this theme as well.

 

I'm not sure what to think about this shadow.

This is so familiar, probably posted it before. I see Scooby Doo, or a Doberman without the ears cut.

When I was a kid they came out with the "Pocket Fisherman"  This shadow reminds me of one of those mustard colored ones.

Again, looks familiar. Antelope. Or in the spirit of this holiday, a reindeer!

 A "Prowling Cat"   pun intended.

A lizard.

Wacky Wednesday

What? A second post from Johnny? That's whack all by itself.  Okay, enough razzing myself.


Here are today's nominations.

Do you think anyone called him?

If you look close at the little girls head, she is looking at the hand of the player on the left as if she is saying get you hand off of my daddy.  Great card.

A pair of odd "BALLS"

Guess we won't be seeing anymore shots like this appearing on cardboard.

Doubling up, an odd thing for a Pitcher to do.

Just love these "big glove" shots.

Have a great day.

Less than Lincoln, sort of...

Can you believe this?

1993 TOPPS COMPLETE SET W DEREK JETER ROOKIE MINT ( 191744810687 ) Delivered on Sat, Dec 05 Tracking number: Tracking number9114999944238352778989 Add note

ITEM PRICE: US $2.76

Thats right. I bid on a complete 1993 Topps set, Jeter being listed as mint.  I won it for $2.86 plus $12.00 shipping. I totally figured the seller was going to back out somehow. But, no. As you can see it was delivered in a timely fashion. But it did not come alone.

Thats right. The seller decided to also throw in a second Jeter RC in MINT condition which was awesome all by itself and I needed it too. The seller used a LARGE flat rate priority box costing them $17.90 to ship the itemS, and made good use of the extra room, because they filled it with:

2001 Fleer Tradition set missing just 7 cards. 2002 Flair sent 58 of the 100 base cards. 2002 Topps series 2 set minus apx 90 cards. And finishing up with a 2002 set (65/90 base cards)  2002 UD Piece of History, which I had just gotten a complete base set a few weeks ago, so I needed these for the Player Collections. There was also a misc. 800 ct box of cards. I definitely have some updating to do.

Basically, everything I got I needed. I wonder if this seller is one of you, how else could they have hit my want lists that way. They would have had to know about it huh.

I am seriously blown away from the generosity of this Ebay seller. So I encourage you to at the very least check them out.

Wacky Wednesday

I bet you didn't expect to see a post from me today.

Nothing wrong with a little instruction.

FOUR!

Water play.

Great play at the plate with Jr.

Comic book.

You choose the better card. Mr. Smith flipping or that amazing signing card.

Obviously a fan appreciation day and a great bat barrel card.


I am expecting several packages in this weekend, so I should have some new stuff to post.

Smell these!

Tim over at I love the smell of cardboard in the morning sent some cards for the collection too.

How can you not like this group of cards? Believe it or not I can not say that the Torre is a slam dunk favorite here. I like Torre and this set, don't get me wrong, it's just that Gomes card is sweet.

The scan does NOT do that Framed White Miller card justice. It is beautiful.

Nice trio. I only have a couple Pink cards from any set. Love em.

That gold Niekro is so cool and completes the trio.

Quite a bit of color here. A rainbow, gold, some purple, and even a black. Bazooka Joe looks swell sporting that Braves Jersey.  Pun intended.

It may be hard to believe but those are my first 1993 Innaugural Braves cards, these are Marlins version.

A few Bowman's to knock off the want list.

Filling in some blanks in the Fleer Braves needs.

Just a note. I need the 2001 & 2002 Donruss Sps 151-220 for the set builds plus extra Braves for the Braves binders.

Just these TWO cards. The 2007 UD is card #1 from the entire 25 card team set that Tim sent. The 2015 is #1 from the 2015 Topps Team set of 17 that Tim sent.  Thanks Tim for all the great cards and I still have a box or two for you waiting to be mailed.
