Another first, tomorrow

So, after work today (and after I picked up my new contacts) I went over to my mom's and loaded up 5 tables in the back of my car. Then I went over to Sluggo's and loaded up approximately 25-30 boxes of cards, 3 display cases and all 5 tables into the back of his truck. First thing tomorrow morning, we are driving out to the hotel and will be a part of a card show. While Sluggo has done a bunch of these, it will be my first time selling at one. It will be weird being on the other side of the table but I'm looking forward to it. I was on the other side of the table for the National but it wasn't my stuff, I was just helping out so I didn't do much. This time I'll have say in prices and stuff. 

It's the first show at this venue and the guy running it had one at the fairgrounds a month or so ago and it wasn't really impressive so I'm a little worried about attendance but we'll see. We're getting half off our tables since we're bringing our own so hopefully we at least make enough to cover the tables and our time. We'll see.

I plan on using our Instagram tomorrow, so feel free to give it a follow. @SluggosSportsCards.

Today's post is another player who doesn't have very many cards, although it's more than the 25 that the last guy had.

Devin has 129 cards but this is only my 4th of Gardner. He has become a YouTuber that has come into the limelight for some fans. He's been doing, what is more or less, a podcast on video for the Michigan Insider and has been insightful. I've only watched clips but he's made a little noise doing it. I picked up this 1 card on Sportlots.

Michigan Saturday

Just a quick post tonight, I worked this morning and am sleepy. I have a bunch of birthday posts next week. I should get at least a couple ready tomorrow. 

Todays post is a team collection so that narrows it down to 2.

First off, a couple of Tom Brady cards that were in a box of cards that we bought for the store. I get first dibs on cards for my collections, as long as they aren't high dollar cards, that is. I don't collect Brady but I do love his cards in Michigan uniforms. 

Dennis of Too Many Verlanders sent me these maize and blue cards, including another Tom Brady up there. I have 10 cards of Tom now. I actually have 22 cards of Henne and 17 of Manningham as well, all Michigan cards. The Navarre card is a numbered die cut as well. Great cards from Dennis, as always.

Fred also hooked me up with a couple of Michigan cards. I actually already had the Gardner auto, as does Dennis which is where my dupes go so now I have 2. I don't actively buy dupes of autos or relics but if they find their way into my collection, I keep them.

I picked up these 2 for $5 a piece at the Baseball Card Exchange last weekend. These are both my 2nd relics of each player.

This bad boy Sluggo gave me as payment for listing cards for him. We were at the LCS and he saw it and grabbed it. I'm not a huge fan of manufactured relics, I mean, I like the looks of them but the whole manufactured thing does nothing for me but I like the corner of the Michigan logo, plus the auto and numbered to /25. Apparently they do 4 versions, all 4 corners of the logo, each numbered to /25.

It's fitting that the random picked up Michigan on a Saturday since I picked my tickets for this years game, I'll be going to the Michigan/IU game. 

So much for a quick post.
