You all may remember Sluggo who I used to set up with at shows. He moved back to North Carolina but we still trade via the mail (although I've been slacking at getting his package out). He sent me a bunch of cards for my PC's last week.
Let's get started.
As you can see, I keep getting a ton of Robert cards from everybody. That tends to happen when he gets a ton printed in every set. Kevin knows I tend to have most of the base so he always pulls shiny and insert cards for me.
I'm closing in on 50 cards of Colson Montgomery who I have high hopes for (if we don't trade him). I had hopes for Colas as well but he's gone now.
4 more shiny Sheets, all of the Sox variety which is all the better.
The top 3 are all base Chrome, the Darboh is the Green (#'d to /150) and the red Lazer of Ojabo. All 5 of these players are PC except for Swords but that's only a technicality because she's still playing for Michigan. I'm sure I'll end up PCing her as well.
Roman Wilson is probably the least popular of the next 3 but I keep getting a ton of his cards. These 3 give me 37.
Blake is the second most popular and with these 9, I'm up to 47 of him.
The most popular is JJ, now if he could stay healthy long enough to showcase what he can do. Sooner or later, Minnesota is going to give up and go another route and I want him to succeed. Him and Corum were my favorites of that 2023 Championship team and they are both really good humans. These 2 give me 41 of JJ.
Kevin even managed to hit a couple of my Tier 1 collections that I don't add to a whole lot. I only added 4 of each player last year. The Refractor Konerko puts his PC at 801 cards and the Prism parallel of Aparcio puts him at 148.
He's already started my next box as he's been picking up a couple of collections and is busy sorting them to start doing shows down there. I'm sure he won't do as well as up here because he won't have my pretty face and sparkling personality with him but he's going to take a shot. (Yes, that was sarcastic).

Nice stuff, especially the Michigan cards! I miss Sluggo, he's a good dude and I hope he's doing well in NC, though you're right--he's sure to make much less money at shows without you there...especially if you aren't there to borrow money from him to buy stuff for yourself
