The Three Blog Mailings

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. 

The box was loaded with vintage (like actual vintage in the 70's, 90's is not vintage), 90's, and even cards from today. A mix of teams, players, rookies and a few stars.

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.

Miscellaneous

Coffee is hot, the cards are hotter. So, let's get ready for a new Cards Over Coffee.

I know the title for today's post is a little lame, but, what else could I have called this post? It's a bunch of miscellaneous mail days that I need to catch up on posting about.

It simply stating a fact.

Another fact I want to state is how generous Crocodile Sports Cards Blog is. I know I am not the only one to say this. This is roughly the second or third time he has sent something cool my way.

He sent along this really cool non-sport set.

 

TV's Coolest Classics. A lot of these shows I remember watching with my grandmother who meant the world to me. She played a big part of my life and upbringing.

So, these cards hold a special place in my heart. Hot Dog! 

Thanks Croc!

Up next, another one of my crazy ideas....I want to chase the 1995 Pro Line Classic autograph set. This would by far be the biggest chase of my life.

I know I won't be able to do it all, especially with a few of the big names on there, but it would be fun to try right? If any of you have any...PLEASE CONTACT ME below or sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com!! 

I have plenty of stamps and trade bait. Always ready to trade!

The next card, well...a new one for my 2011 Topps American Pie Set.

This was one of the toughest ones to find so far and now I have it. Think I am down to 10 more to completion on this set. See what I need HERE.

The next card is one of my other silly chases, pumpkin faces.

This is the only one I have but I will take any others!

And finally, I got my Griffey groove back thanks to seeing some of Shane from Cheap Wax Wednesday's additions to his collection.

So I snagged these,

This Titanic Taters is such a sweet card! Probably my favorite of the group.

Always looking for more Griffeys! Here is my SPREADSHEET so you can see if you have any I need!

Well, that does it for all my miscellaneous fun.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday of football. Last night's game was great, hoping today's two matches that one! I know I don't plan to go anywhere today as we are in the single digits. It's a good day of football and coffee.

Til the next cup,
