42 of the Maize and Blue

Finally got some time to get my latest additions logged and scanned. I had to scan about 15 cards for TCDB as well which takes more time. I accidentally posted the wrong scan on one of them so I had to hit the inaccuracies and told on myself. Oops! It was my very last scan that I was adding so I was probably excited to be finished and jumped the gun.

Tomorrow were doing a card show in Fort Wayne. I'm trying not to buy any cards since I'm not getting many hours in the next few weeks. We'll see how well I stick with that.

Today's post is a team post so that narrows it down to 2. It would be the team that's still playing, because we're in the playoffs.

The above 23 cards came from my brother. I'm pretty sure I mentioned here that he is sorting cards for a guy that pays him and he sends me pics of any Michigan cards that he runs across and I let him know if I had them or not and he gives me the ones that I don't.

In the 2nd scan, the Joppru is misspelled. You get a Desmond Howard, an Amani Toomer, a couple of Steve (Aidan's dad) Hutchinson and even the lone basketball card of Tractor Traylor.

In that last photo up, you'll notice the top 3 cards. He gave me those 3 because I didn't have them. Technically, I still don't. I went to mark them off on TCDB and the numbers weren't matching up and I noticed the description on the back.

They are supposed to be autographed but they aren't so now I need to get the autographed versions so I can mark them off of the TCDB correctly.

I picked up these 4 at the last card show in Plymouth. I actually bought a couple of color variations of a Michigan player PC and he threw these 4 in with them for me. There are a ton of those TK Legacy cards and I'm far from having many.

I picked up this team set at Ace Sports Cards in Holland Michigan. We were up in the area for a card show and didn't buy much so we Googled for some local card shops and found this. What we didn't think of was that they were at the show so there wasn't much there but I managed to find a few cards, and this team set. I grabbed it because I recognized the years of having the fab 5, which are the top 5 shown.

I don't usually pick up this many Michigan cards because I don't generally shop for them unless they are PC players so it's nice that I actually added this many cards.

Monday Maize

Well you know if Dennis gave me a package, that he's going to hit this collection.

We'll start out with the Jeremy LeSueur who I'm not sure I even know the name which explains why this is my first card of his.

This guy I have a few though. As you can see, the Elite is numbered /499 and the Press Pass on the right is the Blue version. I haven't put it together with the base PP but the pics on TCDB look the same except the card number has a B at the beginning. These 2 give me 13 cards of Marlin which is a lot because he is pre-Michigan PC's so I only collect him in a Michigan uniform.

Chad has been in the news lately as he came in and won the game for KC over Cleveland. He's been around in the league awhile now but he was originally a guy in the Maize and Blue. Once again, he was pre-Michigan PC guy but yet, I still have 20 cards of him.

Dennis also sent me one of the greatest defensive players ever. I love these Woodson cards when he has the Maize and Blue on. This is only my 5th of him in the uni, I would assume there are a lot more of them out there. I should get on that.

Last but definitely not least, Dennis hooked me up with this super Mario auto. I thought I already had this but when I opened up my Michigan collection book, on the front page was the Adrian Arrington auto from this very same set so I'm guessing I confused the two. This card gives me 16 of Manningham and is my 3rd autograph.

Another thanks to Dennis for providing this weeks content. My Sportlots package (292 cards) is supposed to be here on Friday plus I got a few cards from the guy at work to show off. Luckily I didn't ship Dennis' package off because yesterday, I added 10 or 12 to it and today, I pulled a couple of other cards from the guys box at work to add to it. I promise I'll get it to you, eventually.
