With so much to catch up on, I have been using nighttime to get some blogging done and trying to keep pace with what I have to get posted. The only problem with this is that I am using the little bit of free time I have to do this. Which means blogging is taking place of sorting cards or playing a game of Madden.
As I get caught up, I will have to find a better balance so I can enjoy all three downtime things.
But here I am until then.
When I took a couple months off in the fall, which by the way was a nice refresher, I struggled with getting mail days which led to no content to post about and led to thoughts of retirement from blogging.
Things started to change in December as my mailbox found quite a few mainly from bloggers, former bloggers and possible future bloggers.
Like Crocodile Sports Cards who I won a football prize pack from his contest.
Some examples to follow,
(absolutely adore this card)
Thanks Croc!
Then there was a very generous mail day from The Diamond King that arrived pretty fast despite how slow the mail was around the holidays,
A Trout for my player PC
Shiny!
Then came the eye candy of an Shohei Ohtani rookie! Pretty stoked to add this one.
Thanks DK!
And finally, Johnny's Trading Spot saw my comment on one of his recent posts
About this Keenan McCardell and how I didn't have it for my set chase. Guess what, the always generous guy sent it my way. Now I can cross this one off! With this addition, I now have 36 of the 120 or so autographs. I am not sure I will ever be able to tackle the big boys but would be fun to try and get close. Here is my list of needs if you are curious or have some help for me:1995 Pro Line Autographs
Thanks as always Johnny!
This is just the beginning of the fun mail days I have to share.
Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday! I have basketball practice tonight to prep for our first game tomorrow so I know I will have a great one...and busy one.

Don't forget you can start to nominate cards for the 2025 Coffee Card Hall Of Fame!! Cards don't have to be autographs, patch cards, super star cards. It can be whatever you think is Hall Worthy! Find details and current nominations HERE.
Congratulations on crossing off another autograph on your set build. McCardell has a really nice signature. I like how he added his jersey number inside of his signature.
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time I used to have many late 60's and early 70's Football cards. They were lost in one of my shuffles a few years back. For some reason I thought it was a good idea to thin down my collection. I now have more cards than I did back then minus the ones I thinned out. Oh well! Very nice additions for you. Have fun Coach. My Special Olympics delegation that I Coach starts their Basketball season on the 20th. Happy Friday and have a great weekend!
