Saturday Shadow Shots

Let's see what is in the shadows today.

The front of a baby elephant.

A vulture sitting on top of a dead animal it is about to commence eating.

 I see a soccer goalie diving after the ball.

Enjoy the weekend.

Next up!

 Jeremy came over today, and we went over to my LCS: Grand Slam collectibles. Nope, not showing that stuff today, in fact it might not hit this blog until November, but still it was a good day. I'm sure he'll post up his goodies soon. 

Nah, I'm still working on the cards (magazine cards) from Saturday before last. 

Here we GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Stopping point here and a heads up just 6 more of these posts to go. Hopefully, those who were getting some cards have gotten them by now. You folks enjoy tomorrow and I'll see you here Saturday.....in the Shadows.

Wacky Wednesday

 Hump day once again!

Let's do this thang!

Have a great night everyone!

In the swing of things

 Getting back to the swing of things is not as always as it could be. Take for instance, getting back to the PC update. Oh man.....I spent 2 days just doing one of the 20 players I collect in the "L's". Several of those players are not going into binders, they will be boxed because they probably won't make the HOF ever. Still, yet it takes a lot of time to get my PC guys ready for a binder which is simply the easiest part. I do believe I am actually getting back into the swing of things in that respect. 

Now then let's get to some more odd ball cards, predominantly baseball of course.

Okay so these were all baseball (that is a good thing). Also a great spot to stop for tonight.

Happy Charlie Kirk Day!

Have a great night folks!

The Saturday visit

 In case you missed it, Saturday before last I changed my plans from attending a card show in Tampa to back to back visits to my LCS: Grand Slam Collectibles. I came home with close to 10K cards. However, there were so many magazine cards (repli-cards) that I only scanned them and they will suffice the rest of the month with the exceptions of the regularly scheduled themes (Wed. & Sat.). I held a giveaway last week with non-baseball magazine cards. I mailed a some of the baseball, but I will be doing another giveaway with the baseball cards this time once I have finished posting the gets. There was also a card or two besides those that are scan worthy, so those two might kick off the giveaway albeit NOT for those two cards, hehe. Also yesterday Sunday, I decided to check out the shop and see what it was like. I also brought home another 3,500 cards. Pulled some goodies from it and need to get them scanned.

Now then, how about some odd ball baseball issues.

You bet your bottom dollar I was stoked to find those Mantles and the Mays. We'll be back tomorrow with more.

Saturday Shadow Shots

 I hope everyone has a great weekend. Here are this weeks' shadows. What do you see?

A skydiver.

A toucan.

An ostrich.

Later folks.

Saturday at the LCS

 My brother and I did well last night. Leading the way the entire night, right up until the championship final question. Which we got wrong, or should I say Jack got wrong (my answer would have been the correct one). We had fun and that is what it is all about. Lots of rebus puzzles last night, those are fun.

As you may have guessed by my Braves post and the giveaway post, lots of magazine cards. Topps Magazine, BB price guides, baseball card magazines, SCD, Allan Kaye's, and the like. I held out the baseball on the giveaway as to not give away my posts for the rest of the month, lol (10 posts worth). When I am done with this visit I will hold another giveaway with just magazine baseball cards.

First up are the unknown (in most cases) autographs.

I believe I have 3 of the bkb Christmas cards in my Christmas binders, 4 more to add including the former Florida Gator.

Looks like I forgot to crop the top of this scan....oops. I'm not sure if I'll complete this run, but I certainly do have a lot of them.

Finally, the magazine cards. Normally I wouldn't have posted up dupes, but I had reason too this time (except for Uggla). 

I forgot to mention Tuff Stuff and Tuff Stuff Jr in the monologue, oops.

A great place to end right here. 

Have a great night!

Wacky Wednesday

 It will just me my brother and I tonight for trivia. 

Enjoy the rest of the week!

Let's giveaway some cards!

 When I get a good deal, and there are dupes or cards that won't fit or don't need to fit into my collection....I like to share. The Saturday visit to my LCS was one such visit.

I AM BETTING MANY OF YOU ARE SURPRISED THAT I DIDN'T PUT ANY BASEBALL CARDS IN THE GIVEAWAY TONIGHT.

I have recently put some mailers out, and the baseball extras were in those.

Have a great night.

This is a TEASER

 Hopefully, the playoffs are fairing well for you folks. For me.... baseball is pretty much done until the World Series, and even that depends on who is playing. (I know I'll catch a game or two). Meanwhile, I have cards to play with. I missed my cards last month. But apparently the first few days of September I was still adding cards into TCDB. I'll end this post with last month's update on my standings.

I waited until the last post from the Friday LCS visit to post my new Braves. NOT happening this go around, they're first. They are your teaser for what is to come from the Saturday posts as well as the MULTI-card giveaway which will be tomorrow night. 

As you can see there are lots of odd ball, mostly magazine issued cards. I said this was a teaser. In the giveaway tomorrow there will be SIX scans totaling 51 cards for the giveaway. I'll put the simple rules on that post.

Now for the monthly TCDB update. I had planned on making some huge moves, but the flu decided nope. I do have tons of stuff to get inputted, like resuming my PC update which adds a lot of cards. As well as the set builds that are just waiting for me to finish sorting and input them as well. October should be a great month.

Total unique cards: #27 up two spots from August.

Baseball: #14 also up two spots.

Gaming: #141 (lol), but it was a jump of 8 spots. I have about 4-5K cards to input for this category already fully sorted too!

Non Sports: #25 and drop of two spots as I didn't add a single card. 

There you have it. The giveaway starts tomorrow and I will start posting my Saturday LCS on Thursday.

Later Gators!

Saturday Shadow Shots

 Good morning America, and good whatever time of day it is where ever you are in the world!

I finally made it to the post office yesterday. I got most of what I needed to mailed out. The rest (doing this weekend) will be coming in regular envelopes. Some of you will be getting multiple envelopes and that leaves just a nice stack for Jeremy on his next visit and the Owl's next package is needing a handful more to go with it to round out the box. Then I am all caught up after being down for a month. (((((patting myself on the back))))

I did wind up with many posts worth of cards from the Saturday (last Saturday to be a matter of fact) visit to my LCS. I believe I will start those posts out with a GIVEAWAY, so be on the lookout. 

Now let's see what YOU see in the Shadows.

I see one of those dogs from the Westminster Dog show jumping through one of the obstacles. hehe. Maybe a miniature poodle.

I blocked question mark.

I see a long musket rifle with a bayonet attached.

Enjoy the weekend folks!

My favorite items from that Friday LCS visit.

 Well, this is a Braves blog per say. So, I'll start with those.

Eight new to me Braves. Always a good thing.

Next up is a handful of the recently released 2025 Finest.

I was happy to find these just sitting in the quarter boxes (not knowing that they'd wind up costing a penny and half each including the 3 refractors. I was sad that there wasn't more. 

I was super stoked to grab this Red Foley book with no writing and all of the stickers intact. This was my first Red Foley stickers, and you bet I already marked them off of my needs list and added them to TCDB. 

See y'all Saturday!

Wacky Wednesday

 I nearly forgot to make this post. I was scanning cards....LOTS of cards.

Man I miss those "play at the plate" shots.
