Lots of Mail

Busy day in my mailbox today. I had 4 envelopes with 5 cards, technically 7 cards but 2 were dupes for a couple of reasons.

This was the last 2019 Heritage I needed for the team set, minus the SP's, which there are 5 just in the Sox team set, that's ridiculous. I picked this up for $.54/shipped. It is my 6th card of Palka.

I picked up this Sale, also for the Sox collection for $.33/shipped. It was listed as a refractor but I have no idea whether it is or not. I also won the Abreu but I apparently already have that one. It is my 147th card of the Condor.

Now on the football/Wolverine section.

This Denard card was listed as a 2013 Topps rookie, that was it. Once I had it in hand and went to log it into TCDB, I found out it was a Holiday Mega card. It came to me for $.53/shipped and is my 47th different card of his.

I grabbed my 11th Jake Butt card, I thought this looked familiar so I hesitated on picking it up but it doesn't show that I had it. I went to put it away and realized that I have the autographed version which is basically the same card except it has an autograph on it. I grabbed this for $.53/shipped. It goes in the Wolverines collection as well.

I also picked up my 6th card of big Mo for $.53/shipped. I actually won 2 of these for the same price from the same seller. I bid on them thinking I'd probably lose both and ended up winning them both.

Old PC and New PC

I got 2 cards in 1 envelope today and they are nothing alike. A Hall of Famer MLB player and a NFL rookie. A player collection with over 100 cards and the 1st card of a player collection.

I picked up this 2019 card of Carlton for $.42/shipped. It's the 6th card of his I've gotten this year and the 106th different card to the collection. If that's all they got for Franchise Feats, some of those really aren't that impressive.

As I said above, this is the 1st card of the Higdon collection. I don't know that this one will get too far but he is currently signed with the Texans. This also goes to the Michigan collection so it'll definitely have a home here. I got this card for $.41/shipped.

Relic and an Auto

I got a couple of cards today, one from a defunct player collection but it's still a White Sox card so it still fits in. I ended up getting a relic and an auto today as well.

This would be the defunct player collection. I ditched it as he is now a Red Sox and to be honest, I just don't follow him anymore. The good news is the majority of that PC end up being a part of the White Sox Collection so they aren't actually going anywhere. This is the reason why I'm afraid to start new player collections of active players. Nobody stays with the same team for long anymore. I picked up this Sale relic for $1.06/shipped and it is my 146th card of Chris Sale.

I also picked up another auto of Amara Darboh. I say another because it's my 6th of his, autos and relics make up most of this player collection. This is my 16th different card of his and I grabbed it for only $2.03/shipped.

The Chase

I got one card in the mail today and one card is better than none.

This is my 2nd card of Chase, both are from Sage HIT and neither have a uniform. I'm not a fan of these because the photos are just cheesy but it is what it is. I picked this up for $.52/shipped.

Cardinal Carlton

After almost a week without any cards, I get another envelope today for 2 days in a row. Just one card today though but I don't care. Any day with new cards is a good day.

This is the 5th card I've picked up this year of Steve Carlton which considering last year I picked up exactly zero. I don't know if that's because I upped my max bid since last year or not but it was the difference on this card as I got this for $.54/shipped. $.54 is actually over my $.50 max bid but that's because apparently I've been paying taxes lately and didn't realize it. This is my 106th card of the lefty.
