Some awesome items from one of my favorite dealers

Uncle Tiny from J and A Sports sent me some goodies that he found for me this week.  I've known Kevin for quite a while and if I ever have some mad money lying around I will often contact him and let him surprise me with some items for my growing HOF and Vintage Type Collections.  Here are the latest items he found for me.

 A nice Vintage piece that I've already framed up!

 A nice Bama Auto!

A beautiful Cut Auto!!

Thanks Uncle Tiny!
You can contact Kevin via Facebook if you ever want to give him some of your business.

Custom Cards?

Anyone know of anyone that does custom cards? Also what kind of prices I might expect to pay?  I have three AZ Cardinal QB's that I can't find cards in Uni and looking for some custom work.  Any help would be appreciated!

Any Starting Lineup Jiunkies out there?

I've decided to work on a new project.  Phoenix-Arizona Cardinals Starting Lineups.  Looking for still on card figures.  If my research is right there are 13 different ones.  Anyone have any of them laying around that you'd like to move??

Target Splurge-Post 4- The 3 Pack with a Hit Envelopes

Here is the final booty from my Target spending spree.  Once again I buy a bunch of retail and have buyer's remorse.  O well, I do it to myself.  I did however beat the odds and get a second hit in on the of the packs.  I will not be retiring off of the proceeds.

 First up is the I've never heard of File-T.J. Beam

 So Shiny

 More shiny

 This shiny may be a trick to cover up how dull my hit is....

 Moving right along...

 Poltergeisty mini parallel

 Two Ginters that I liked

 Go Braves

 This was the guaranteed hit-Arpsmith-interested?

 The surprise hit! 2x3 Heroes?

Thanks for tuning in and following along.  Feel free to bash me again for going wild on retail again.  I'm an addict-what can I say?

Target Splurge Post 3-Topps Value Boxes

This one is two boxes of 2012 Topps Value.  These include 5 Packs of 2012 Flagship.  2 Packs of Hobby Heritage. A Bonus Refractor. As well as two golden giveaway codes which are kindling.

This one is quite a yawn. But here ya go:

 Both Bonus Refractors were the Kid.  And I'm ok with that!

 Delmon Shiny Canary

 Ryan Roberts Shiny Canary.

 Todd Helton SP

Mike Stanton Picture Swap SP

Ugh. Told ya there wasn't much there. Tune in later this morning for the final post with the two guaranteed hits.

Target Splurge Post 2- The Fairfield Rack Packs

I bought four repacks-1 Basketball and 3 Baseball.

First, Let's Hoop it Up. I'm not a huge Basketball Guy but decided to take a chance with the 1:4 GU odds...I failed

 What can I do with these shiny Bobcats?  I'm looking at you Colbey!

 A STAR Ad Card of the Mayor

 Didn't get to see Karl as a player but I imagine he played like his hair was on fire.

 A Vintage-y Phoenix Suns Team Leader Card

The Shaq Borders on this Broder are blinding.  Cool card though.

Couldn't beat the odds and get a GU card soooo on to the Baseball-3 Packs Worth.  Odds of a GU are 1:8 with 3 Vintage Cards per pack. Not sure what they classify as vintage?  Let's see how I did:

 These guys were fast in 1979

 POPS

 Intensity

 Rookie Goodness

 More Quasi Rookie Goodness

 I'm guessing Eddie Murray didn't care for Capn Crunch

 A PC Card

 Another Quasi PC Card

 I don't think of the Bull as an A

 A nice Wiz

 Good Card. Great Name

 The other Bob Gibson

 Guy I've never heard of Part 1-Keith Garagozzo

 Part 2-Keith Drumright

 Here is my vintage haul-I guess?

 What's better than one Eric Soderholm?

 Darold Knowles mustache seems to get darker on every vintage card I find of his

What the Hale?  I only got seven cards from the 70's?  Maybe they consider 1980 as vintage.  Didn't beat the odds and find a gu either.  O well.  Up next-the Topps Value Boxes.

A Target Spending Spree-Part 1

I set out for Target today with my sights set on picking up some of those tackle boxes where you get the guaranteed hit, the couple of packs, coins, and loose cards.  Alas, none were present. Those things sure seem to dry up quickly.  I did however decide to just go ahead and lose my mind and buy some junk.  The following posts will chronicle my findings.

 2 3 Pack Dealios with the Guaranteed Hit

 2 Reduced 2012 Value Boxes

 The Pack and 50 Card Cube with the all important BONUS

Four good old fashioned Fairfield Repacks

Let's start our journey with the four pack/50 card box shall we....

O Jamie Moyer, he of the ageless wonder club,  I never remember him as an Oriole

 
 And I don't remember Papi as a Twin.  I know he was, I just don't remember it.

 Good ole fashioned glossy ALL-Stars

 Aye Aye Capn

 I now present-Guys I had never heard of that I pulled-Part I-Dennis Sarfate

 Part II- Joe Inglett

 Wow, Dan Wheeler got around in the early 00's

 I suppose this was my bonus.  Red would have looked so much better on this refractor

 I did manage to sneak a hit of sorts with this ?Gold? Parallel of the Perfect Game Saving Former Bravo Dewayne

And then this exhibit from the just plain ugh category.  UGH

Stay tuned...Up next will be the four Fairfield repacks.
