I am not sure what is hotter, the 90-degree temperatures outside, the cup of coffee that sits in front of me or my recent mail days from fellow bloggers.
Let's just say out of those three things, only one I can tolerate.
*takes a burning sip...ouch*
I hate losing cards, but apparently I did that again losing all four of my base 2015 Topps Allen&Ginter Impractical Jokers cards. I was trying to find a way to get them back and thought of people who may have opened a decent amount of Allen&Ginter. One blogger came to mind immediately, Nachos Grande.
a
He didn't have all four, but did have two of them which getting any back was great.
Especially when it's Joe who is my favorite Joker.
The Murr isn't a base, but is a cool Mini. I may still seek the base but now have an extra cool collectible. This time I will place them in a binder and not in a messy card room.
Thanks again Chris! I will hit you back when I have time to dive into the boxes I need to.
Oh, and if any of you have the other two, I need or three if it's a Murr base, hit me up at sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com. Thanks in advance!
Up next, I got a surprise mail day in the mail from Gavin at Baseball Card Breakdown who sent some really cool items. Cooler than this cup of coffee still is for sure.
It was great to hear from Gavin again since it had been so long.
But he still nailed everything I collect.
I don't collect a lot of Yankees anymore, but Jeter I do. He will always be my favorite Yankee. These customs are super nice and high-quality work.
I didn't know these had refractors, and definitely wouldn't have guessed they are numbered, this one is /100.
Dexy! He is the best player on the Giants, I think. He will be once again a dominant force this upcoming season.
I don't think the Giants gave Hill enough time as he has played well for Cincy, but I will always accept his cards in blue.
The last card he sent which apparently got deleted on here or melted off from here because of the sun, was a numbered Ottis Anderson Prime Signatures card.
Thanks for the surprise mail day Gavin! I actually mailed yours out today, hope you enjoy, I have been holding stuff for you for a while.
*takes a sip, burns tongue again before finishing up today's post*
I sure hope this cup of coffee cools down, but most importantly the weather. I don't like the heat. However, I do like the heat/fire that the bloggers send out, that's the only kind I will welcome.
*Coffee Card Blogger Out*
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.
We had the heat the last few days, but it is now raining and 58 degrees. Big change for sure. Nice cards and the coffee needs a refill. Enjoy the day all!
ReplyDeleteI think I just sent that Murr to someone else, which is bizarre because it's been sitting unwanted in a box for 10 years. But I'll double-check.
ReplyDeleteI love me some 90 degree heat, especially if comes without thunder, lightning, and then rain.....then it's nasty humid and you can't do anything outside. However, typically it holds off until later in the day, so I got to mow the lawn today...yippee. LOL.
ReplyDeleteA. 90 degree temperatures is pretty hot. At that temperature, I'm avoiding going outside and running the AC. It's hit the 90's about 5 to 7 times so far this summer, but I'm sure it'll be getting there on a daily basis sooner than later. That's when my electricity bill will start to soar.
ReplyDeleteB. I'm fine with 90 degree coffee. I actually prefer warm coffee over piping hot.
C. Today is my last day of summer school (yee haw!), so I'll be working on some mail day posts and creating some care packages myself. You're on that list as I have some NY Giants set aside for you.
D. Love Gavin's customs. I have almost two 9-pocket pages worth in my sports cards smorgasbord binder.
