COMC Holding Space

 Hello friends!

Today is December 1st. Obviously people have been thinking about Christmas shopping for a little while now. Others have just started. 

Me? Since I don't have money or people to do gifts with. And, really not to put myself down or anything, but I'm also not going to be one of those people who say "Spending time with me *is* the gift"

So about the title.. 

I found some cards through Shlabotnik Report's COMC page that I wanted. I decided what the Hell.. And bought them..

I call it the Holding Space because I have a couple cards from 2023 still sitting there that I completely forgot about. (This year has been not great for my collection) 

So because Canada Post is on strike right now, getting the cards to me is going to take longer than normal. So I'll show the COMC images of the cards I have waiting for me to hit send on...


Bo Naylor, who plays with his brother Josh on the Guardians. 

A nice Tacoma Twins Dave McKay 

A Jeff Fassero Expos auto from the 50 years of Expos set a few years ago (Looking for any and all both base and auto'd) 

Joey Votto, of course.
Now.. I was a little upset he never got to officially suit up for the Jays, but I understand the decision he made to end his career when he did. This way, at least at the MLB Level, he's still a Career Red. 

A Lloyd Moseby OPC from 1985. 

Shawn Hill auto. Another one towards my Canadian born autograph project. 


Finally a Bomb Squad Vlad Jr. 

I'll likely try to find a few more cards before I even think about shipping. Plus waiting for a while after the strike finishes. 

Anyway, until next time!

  1. A bunch of nice pick-ups there. Sucks about the postal strike at this time of year.

    1. Yeah. They've been working without a contract most of this year. Big sticking point is trying to keep full time workers, and giving part timers some benefits..
      Lot of people are saying to do away with the service and privatize it..
