Two huge cards arrive in Hazel Green

Had a different plan for my post today but breaking news required a change in the headlines.  This is definitely not fake news but real cardboard news.

Uncle Tiny had been telling me to be on the lookout for a card he swung a deal for on sportlots for me.  Its been a while and we bith thought it may be lost forever until today

An absolute beauty and numbered to 11!  I believe the complete run spells out THE HAMMER.  Thanks to Uncle Tiny for this gem!  Four points for you sir!

Another cardboard Kevin, the Card Papoy had also told me to be looking out for a card but he didn't tell me how prepared I should be...

 Holy 1 of 1 Batman.  I have been wowed by my friend from France!

I shall not forget this my friend!  Previously i had stated that four points would be the max for any card but I'm adding a 1/1 addendum.  10 points for the Card Papoy!  MERCI MERCI

An ultimate find but not a white whale

First and foremost let me show some love to BWTP for putting me on the scent of this bad boy.  What rests inside this beautifully pillowed package??

 For slightly less than the cost of a blaster I scored this magnificent Willinghammer masterpiece!

But its only numbered to 5 so i guess it wouldn't be a white whale.  So what have I captured?  A rare rhinoceros or perhaps an endangered panther.  Maybe we can come up with a new hobby term together!! So what animal do you think should represent a rare find numbered to five?  What say you?

6 Years

Just took a glance and realized 6 years ago today was the first post here at jbf junk.  Wow what a long strange trip its been!  Thanks to those that have read or still read my drivel!  Have a great day!

Looking like one heck of a mail week here at WILLINGHAMMER RISING!

Willinghammer custom buffet

Last night I shared just a taste of an eight pack of customs that came my way courtesy of Gavin of bcb fame.  Tonight I share the main course.   No need for a lot of commentary from me...his work tells the story much better than i can.

Gavin, I just can't get over how cool these are my friend!  Thank you so much!  24 points for you sir in my year long contest. 2 points per plus the wow bonus for each card!

Just a taste

Im shining bright like a fresh out of the microwave sausage biscuit here in Hazel Green tonight.  The shine is from the afterglow of a great set of customs that arrived from the workshop of custom wizard and fellow blogger Gavin from baseball card breakdown.  Just one card tonight from the batch of 8 he sent but it is mouth watering

Back in the day I shoved so many sausage biscuits in my mouth to get these cards.  Im pretty sure if there interventions back then I would have been a candidate.  Now in 2017 I have the most savory card of all.  Thanks my friend these are awesome cards.  Tune in later this weekend for the other magnificent seven.

Some sportlots hammers

You buy hammers at home depot.  I buy them at sportlots.  These hammers have serial numbers.

Happy Thursday!  Hope everyone has a great weekend!
