She Did It Again

Well, my birthday has come and gone and all that remains is the new aches and pains, a few crumbs of cake and a few cards.

I already shared what Oren had gifted me and now I will share my only other card gift which came from my mother-in-law.

And she did it again. She bought me the wrong kind of cards.

You are probably wondering, "there is a wrong kind of cards?" and yes for me there is. 

 

She went and bought more junk that I cannot use for my collection. On top of that, the cards were in awful condition and appeared that half had been soaked in water (the box dripped a little after opening)

At first glance I am sure you are thinking there has to be something in there, right? Maybe unearth one of those gems that others find from Goodwill? Nope. There weren't any surprises in here and it was really hard just to find a few highlights to post below that interest me.

The only rookie.

A couple cereal cards.

A well-loved Ruben Sierra Provision.

Probably the coolest find of the entire lot, tempered steel insert.

This one wasn't in ruff condition

90's insert, always welcome those.

See above card

 

See last two cards, however these are in rough shape.

1995 Fleer needs more love, give it more love.

 

Two Pacific game board cards? I have no idea what these are but haven't seen them before. Can't go wrong with the two players. 

Just wished the cards had been in better shape.

To finish up the finds, here is me trying to mull over what to do with the mostly ruined cards.

I know I should be grateful, which I am. She did think of me on my birthday. As always, I told her thanks and mentioned there were a few cards that really stood out to me. I just didn't have the heart to tell the truth. As Colonel Jessup would say, "she can't handle the truth!"

However, I can't say all things were bad when it comes to gifts from her as she had a second surprise for me that day. It wasn't cards but was very interesting.

I guess that just means you will have to come back and read the next post now.

See you then.
