Card Show Pickups

So I guess I'm addicted to flea markets as well just realized I've made 4 trips between the last 2 weekends. 2 of those were last weekend for the monthly Tampa Card Show. 

1987 Moeller High School Ken Griffey Jr.

Picked up a couple pre-rookie Griffins including this one of him still in High School. 

1988 San Bernardino Spirit Ken Griffey Jr. #34

While I don't actively collect Griffey cards I usually pick up cooler looking ones on the cheap. If any of you serious Griffey collectors need either one just let me know and I'm sure we can work something out. 

You need this one Tim? I didn't have any baseball cards of Wilson so I nabbed this one. 

There was a guy with a huge box of '15 Bowman Draft amongst other prospect type cards. Grabbed these 

shiny Braves in their old uniforms. There was a graphic during the rain shortened broadcast last night that since the end of the 2014 season they've made 25+ trades involving 80+ players....crazy Right to left I'd guess these guys start at AAA, AA & AAA with Blair being the next man up to the bigs.

So true...

Out of that same box for 4 bucks I couldn't leave this PC auto behind.

Glad to finally get a sky blue refractor of a Brave. Austin Riley is the next great hope at third base which has been a black hole since number 10 retired.

SI Chipper, yes please. Baby faced Freeman, hit me again.

Hall 

Of

Fame 

Hey all those guys are enshrined there now. May just have to make a trip to visit their plaques when Chipper gets enshrined. 

Ok last 2, love finding these Finest cards with the film still intact though I'm always tempted to peel it 

Thanks for stopping by!

Retail Fail 2016 Heritage

I promised myself I wouldn't buy any Heritage this year. I just sent my whole stack of 2015 Heritage to Jared a few weeks ago. I even ordered the Braves team set as part of a Just Commons order last week.

Damn you Target...

You sure you don't want to collect this whole set Night Owl? I pulled a bunch of guys like this, no Braves (as usual) and only 1 guy I kinda sorta collect (Drew Smyly) 

Grandal sure has a good looking signature but other than that all the pictures are the same.  Yes I know that's the point but I wish I got excited about Heritage it's the nicest card stock Topps uses all year.

4 team cards out of 20 seems a bit excessive, no?

Here's the subsets, if your building the set let me know. 

I think I'll stick to my cherry picking of cards online for now. This one was less than the Heritage rack pack and I didn't even have to leave my house to get it.  Not sure what to do with that "Topps" sticker though, I guess it can stay for now. 

Thanks for stopping by to read be complain about Heritage.

Mail from 2x3 and eBay

Got a PWE from Jeff over at 2 by 3 Heroes the other day, he had scoped my Archives needs list off a Sportscards from the Dollar Store comment and sent these and a few more over. I met Ozzie Smith at a Red Lobster once as a kid while wearing a Braves Taz shirt not long after the epic 1996 NLCS. Got his autograph on a cocktail napkin but lost it in a move...

This thing is like a piece of ice and weighs a ton, very cool of the rookie. Congrats to your Blackhawks see you next year.

A few more Lightning cards filled out this loaded PWE. 

Haven't found any packs of Pro Debut yet so I'm going the singles route, found this one of 2014 1st round pick Braxton Davidson for $4 shipped off the 'bay. 

Another eBay purchase, saw free shipping and no bids so I put 26 cents down and won, less than a stamp so I kinda felt bad but hey he's a PC guy for me so I needed it.
