They Wanted A Peek

*sits down, takes a sip and gets ready for a new post on Cards Over Coffee*

I thought before I dug into today's post, that I would show off this really cool coffee mug my wife got for her birthday in March. Yes, I am a bit behind on showing it off.

 

When someone says they can drink a pot of coffee, this must be what they are talking about. Or what it must look like to some. Such a cool mug and I know you will agree with me in comments.

Now onto today's post.

*considers using his wife's mug, but decides to continue on with what he is drinking. maybe another day*

I am not sure what is going on with the USPS recently, but they lost a card someone sent me, my mail volume has been down, all of the packages I have been waiting for have taken forever to arrive, there was a pwe covered in a strong women's perfume (why couldn't it have been coffee?) and now I got an envelope that the machine caught on and someone snuck a sneak peek at what I got.

This card was a RAK from my long time Twitter friend, JGfan24ever. As you can see, the machine must have caught it, but you can also tell it looks like someone tried to rip it more open.

Fortunately, he had taped the card to the inside of the envelope because who knows what may have happened to it.

 

And here is the card. It's nothing expensive or valuable but is a new piece for my Christmas PC. I can only imagine if this was something more than a base card short print someone may have snagged it from the envelope. It was opened enough to do so.

Hopefully whatever is going on at USPS, they fix the problem soon.

I did want to take a second out to say thanks to Michael for the RAK.

I want to know in comments if any of you have dealt with any issues with USPS recently? Or maybe its just me. Have you ever had a card stolen or lost? Let me know.

Hope you have a terrific Tuesday and enjoy that cup of coffee!

Stack Of Goods

*sits down, impressed after an hour was able to get internet to work again. the struggle is real*

*coffee has been ready, mediocre warm now at best, takes a sip and gets ready for a new post on Cards Over Coffee*

I must apologize to all of those I have recently gotten mail days from. The lack of great internet isn't helping me in getting caught up on mail day posts. So, those posts will come when I can get a connection, please be patient as your turn will come.

Now let's move onto one of those mail day posts today.

*takes a sip*

@JGfan24ever has been a long friend on Twitter and recently sent me a stack of goods.

And it was a solid stack for sure!

With it being such a big stack, I had to narrow it down to fit today's post frame. I decided to do one of those countdown posts that everyone enjoys (or doesn't).

I liked all of the cards obviously, but some were more favorites than others.

Here were my Top 5 favorite cards from this mail day.

#5 2021 Playoff Red Zone Aaron Robinson. There is a lot of pressure on Robinson who is going to be pushed into the starting role this season after the Giants cut James Bradberry.

#4 a trio of Yankees that features one of the leagues best hitter this year in Aaron Judge.

#3 is a new Ken Griffey Jr for my collection. I don't chase Griffey anymore with so much competition out there for him, but I still collect him when people send or trade him to me.

#2 combine my favorite Panini insert design of all-time with chrome finish and a silver refractor look with the leagues big hitter, you have a winner. What a card!

#1 @JGfan24ever had this card for sale for weeks and weeks, not a single bite but he knew I was interested so he sent it to me. I never watched the Catwoman movie as the reviews were really bad on it and I am also not one for spinoffs, but this still fits into my non sport/Batman PC.

Thanks again to Michael for this mail day! I need to hit you back with a suprise at some point.

Some great card adds to my collection, but did I put them in the right order? Let me know in comments if any you would switch any of them. Your thoughts on the mail day in general would be welcomed in general.

Hope everyone has a great Friday and weekend.
