 #9.  Josh Willingham Haul
 Thanks to Matt Scott for sending most of these along


 8.  Jerry Rice Certified Auto courtesy of Uncle Tiny

 Pulled the Millner from a pack!
 The McCarron pull was one of my favorite pack pulls ever
 Big Thanks to Uncle Tiny again for sending many of these along!


 6.  Fitzgerald ManuPatch /25.  Manupatch or not its still a PC Pull
 5.  A great pull for me.  Could be a really good card down the road!
 4.  Sparky Anderson Cut- Wish it was a check or document but it's still a great pull
 3. A Beautiful Kaline Auto.  Again tip of the hat to Uncle Tiny!
 2.  Proud to have pulled this one!  My first Brock.  My third Gibson

 1.  1969 Nolan.  The next to last card I needed for my set.  Only Ted Williams remains!
 This one came courtesy of P Town Tom.  Thank You So Much My Friend
Even though PTown is taking a hiatus from the cardboard game, I am not.  So you can expect heavy return fire for this gift!


Thanks to everyone for checking in!  Will be getting the final couple of groups of the World Cup up later this week and the winners bracket at some point to follow. Thanks again for reading my blog and to all the great traders out there- ROCK ON!

What i did on my summer vacation? Cards 21-30

Let's take a look at my favorite 21-30 cards that I added during my vacation:

 #30 Mad dog.  I just wish there were more to that patch.  I pulled this one out of a 20 pack repack plus a hit dealio
 I pulled this Cena out of a pack
 Not much to the auto but still cool
 Hard to read but this is an end zone parallel #'d 2/6.
 The Myers came from a Dutch lot from Ebay
 Love the silver ink
 He was a stud before he lost his mojo.  This card is still warm from being red hot back in the day
 These two Reggies came from COMC
 Pulled this one out of a pack wars prize pack
 So excited when this Hubie fell out of a pack for me
Double auto/Double jersey including the future franchise RB

Stay tuned for 11-20 in the card countdown

What I did on my summer vacation by jaybarkerfan

I have returned from my vacation and it's back to the old grind later this week.  I had the opportunity to enjoy some beach relaxation and a lot of cardboard last week.  Here I will detail the top 30 cards that I now have in the junk pile.  This doesn't include any World Cup of Trading additions.

Before we get started, here are a few that didn't quite make the list.  We'll call this the honorable mention roll call:

 Big Papi and Manny Being Manny
 Johnny Baseball
 2 Great Vintage Braves that I didn't have
 The cult hero Rookies issue.  I've always wanted this one
 Never knew he made it in 85 sets
 So odd to see Jay in the Pin Stripes. 
 Smoky is listed at 195.  Somehow I don't quite believe that
 At one time this was a simply red hot card.  Glad to add the Doc to my pile
 Classic Blue
 Brewer was one hell of a hustle.  Loved that a little sliver of patch is on here
 Pulled this one out of a pack
 Hot Chicks

 
Coming up next will be 30-21 on this countdown.  Stay tuned!
