First, the update...
I apologize for not writing anything for over a month here. I've been dealing with both mental and physical health issues, plus my computer died in there for good measure.. Things are improving though so..
I spent a week in the hospital at the start of the month with cellulitis in my leg. Basically it's a staph infection in the leg that causes swelling, fluid pockets to form, and is generally painful. I'm still getting my leg wrapped at the end of the month, and may be for a couple weeks more.
Also, I've been dealing with depression. My friends on here know it's a constant struggle for me, but in general the last two months haven't been very fun.
Anyway... Onto more fun Card based stuff!
So my Secret Santa was The Lost Collector. There were a couple stacks of cards, but a post-it note told me this was the "real" present.
Autograph cards of Tim Raines and Richard Urena!
That Raines is beautiful.
A Jose Reyes Graded 10. Very nice.
I've never seen these Online cards before. Rather interesting, I think..
The Tony Batista is a serial numbered card 41/50
All in all some very nice Jays cards... But.. That's not all...
EXPOS!!
Milton Bradley... Is that an autographed card?? It looks like it might be..
More Online cards.
Gary Carter is always nice to get. As is the Jim Fanning.. Of course, in the OPC version, it mentions his move to the front office.
All in all a wonderful parcel from AJ.
Thank you for the wonderful gift!
Glad to see a post from you, and hope that things keep heading in the right direction for you. Excellent package too - a bunch of nice cards.
ReplyDeleteWell, as I feel decent, I'll be posting.
DeleteAJ had mentioned to me that he was sending something pretty cool, I'm assuming that the Raines auto was that something, and cool it is! This package will definitely help you along to your goal of a million Expos, do you have a current total for that btw?
ReplyDeleteI have to restart my count on that.. I got sidetracked by my depression at 1992 Donruss... With all the new acquisitions, I figured it's just easier to start fresh again.
DeleteGlad you are feeling well enough to post, Mike. You got quite the haul!
ReplyDeleteHi Mike- Glad you liked the package. As Jon mentioned, I was really waiting on the Raines before I could send and it was held up somewhere in the post office.
ReplyDeleteThe Bradley is an autograph as well.
Really hope you needed a lot of the cards. Wishing you a happy new year and best of luck in 2019!
Awesome.. Thank you very much!
DeleteYou as well.
Very cool lot of cards. Glad to see you were feeling up to scanning and posting them. All the best in 2019!
ReplyDeleteWell, I have two weeks off of work right now and finally have everything up and running again, so I figured I'd let people know I haven't completely disappeared lol
DeleteWhat a freakin package of cards, Mike! AJ is the man. That Raines in particular is incredible!
ReplyDeleteThat was certainly the highlight of the package..
DeleteGlad you are healed up! Cellulitis is not to be messed around with.
ReplyDeleteYeah it's not fun for sure.. I've now had it in both legs (at different times)
DeleteThat Raines is sweet! Very cool SS package. Anyways... I hope your leg feels better. And I'm sorry you're battling depression. I hope things turn around soon as we kick off the start of a new year.
