Uncle Tiny Strikes Again

My Uncle Tiny of CCW fame has struck my mailbox again!

 Hard to go wrong with the Willinghammer!
 Tiny contributed to my autograph project with this newly acquired Bravo
 My first Peterson Auto!! Awesomeness!
Groovy and Far Out Man!  Tide Dyed Alabama QB Alum AJ McCarron!  I love this card!

Thanks again Uncle Tiny!  Another 3 cards in the auto binder!

When is an autograph a lie??

I made it up to the show in Murfreesboro, TN today.  It's a bi weekly show and I haven't been since probably September of last year.  Honestly, most of the vendors aren't for me.  It's a small show with like 20 tables-but they are just really tight and it's hard to have room to look at everything.  So over time I have found two or three vendors there that I really like and I come back for them.  One is an older gentleman who is always buying so he always has a new stock of jerseys and autos.  I spent some money with him but you won't see any of those unless they show up in your mailbox!!  I did visit my guy who has great vintage(usually too pricy for me) and also great autos.  I spied this one probably two years ago and couldn't make a deal.
I was surprised that this was still around(probably due to the price) but it was!  So here you have Gaylord-

It's true- I didn't attend Gaylord's 300th win but I didn't want this nice piece that proclaims the holder did attend.  We finally made an agreeable price and now Gaylord resides in my baseball room!

Have a great Saturday!

Merci Merci

Today I have come to pay tribute to our friend Kevin from the Card Papoy.  He sent me a package that I received today.  It totally hit the spot on almost all of my pcs!  Let's check it out!

 Bravos Goodness!
 Love that Kimbrell!
 OMG at that Willinghammer!
 Kevin has really come through with some random autographs for my new pc.
 This is exactly the kind of randomness I'm looking for!



 He even tied a bow on this pacakage with a Bieb
I really enjoyed this package from France.  I will be sending a return shot your way very soon!

NBA and NFL Collectors-Line forms here

I'm going to be getting rid of most of my football and basketball stuff.  I don't have a ton of either nowadays but they are kind of in way when it comes to sorting.  Let me know your team and I will try to hook you up with something in the coming months.

Uncle Tiny and The Lost Collector sneak attack me!

Well, it wasn't exactly a sneak attack.  I knew something special was coming via Texas from Uncle Tiny that was also a collaboration with AJ from the Lost Collector.  It was pretty special.
 A goliath!  Lee Smith has always been one of my favorites.  Uncle Tiny used this information.
 Even #walletcard Jay came out to see the new housemate!
Jay approves!  Guys I really appreciate this.  I will be getting it framed up very very soon.  This is really cool!

Another swap with Leiber88 from CCW

I've made a few deposits in the mailbox of the fellow CCW'er Leiber88.  He was kind enough to take a swing at many of my pc's this week.

 Brandon starts it out with a couple of Braves
 He transitions with a couple of Alabama Alumni
 Did he know that somehow Karsay wasn't in my Braves Binder?
 Moving right along to the Arizona Cardinals segment of this post, first the #'d
 Then the GU
 Brandon knows I dabble in Expos
This is the stud of this particular package.  Cardinal-Check, Auto-Check, Oddball-Check, Great Name-Check

Love the Case and it's another card going in the auto binder.  Doesn't seem like that long ago if I went on a long trip I had to secure a phone card to call home.  I'm getting old!

Thanks for the package Brandon. I will hit you up again very soon!
