There Was Too Much To Love

 

When I get my annual Christmas mail day from Wes, former blogger, I hope he pictures this Martin Mull card with him loving this football so much. Because when his mail day arrives, this is me holding the box.

The one thing with a Wes mail day, you just never know what you are going to find, but you know you will love every minute of it.

It's the reason why I waited so long to post it. Valentines Day seemed like the perfect opportunity to show how much I love it.

There is so much to show and so much to love.

To kick it off with a Martin Mull card that is actually the signed version, we are starting off strong. I enjoyed watching Mull on Rosanne then later on Sabrina The Teenage Witch and then on The Cool Kids. He had a unique kind of humor to the characters he played. Sadly, he passed away last year at age 80.

Next, Wes hit up some weak parts in my Giants autograph collection.

This is my first Micah McFadden auto. He continues to prove he belongs on the field more and more every year.

As far as I know, this is the ONLY Daniel Bellinger autograph on the market which is by Wild Card. He has a nice clean signature and his rookie year he looked like a nice clean draftee. Things have slowed down for him since.

My first Kennard auto. May be my first Giants autograph with a number signed as well.

There were hefty expectations for Wheaton when the Giants drafted him, but injuries kept setting him back so he didn't see the field a lot other than special teams.

 

My man Osi! He was one of many beasts the Giants have had on their Dline over the years.

How I didn't have a Morris auto by now I don't know. I also love UD Legends product and it's on-card autographs.

 

Always wanted a Gifford auto, this one is a little off, but I will take it and I love it. Can't believe he has almost been gone for 10 years now. I still want to hunt down a Kathy Lee Gifford auto as well to pair with this one and my Regis auto.

 Sam Huff! My first auto of this Giants legend as well.

Jason was the first NFL jersey I owned and his interception against the Eagles when he was on the ground still plays in my memories as one of the greatest Pick 6's ever. 

The next two aren't technically Giants, but are two I wanted and they are fans of the Giants.

Linda Cohn.

 

Jackie Mason.

And it wouldn't be a Wes Christmas mail day if some rare Rodney Hampton's weren't involved.

Wow! Two 1/1's!!! Love it!

Say what you want about some of these lesser name companies, but they are the ones putting out the on card autographs. A nice, new Eli Manning right here!

Grew up watching Willy Wonka like I did? Then these two you should recognize immediately. OH, it's also a 1/1.

Spider-Man! He's not my favorite Spider-Man of the group, but he still played my second favorite hero, so this was an exciting find.

Christina Slater. What movie wasn't he in?

Wes must have been watching my wants list....as Mikaela Shiffrin was right at the top of most wanted autographs! Local celebrity of such and the MJ of her sport, this was a want! LOVE IT!

As I have told the story before on here, my very first concert was Britney Spears and it was a memorable one for me. So, when I saw that her younger sister had an autograph, I wanted it. Jamie Lynn is mainly known for her role on the Nickelodeon show Zoey 101.

Now I just need to add a Britney auto.

  

If you have heard of Wilson Phillips, you know who Carnie Wilson is. Well besides being the daughter of a famous Beach Boy. And I will admit it right here that I love some Wilson Phillips songs. You're In Love, Release Me, and Impulsive to name a few.

Wes then found out that I loved NCIS. He not only sent along some DVD's, but he has also found some cards for me.

 

These are super cool!! Hope I can continue to add more NCIS cards later on to my collection. The original show I have watched since the beginning with my wife.

If you know me, read this blog or follow me on social media, you will know how much I love Christmas Vacation and memorabilia around the movie. This is the first year that Beverly D'Angelo signed for Leaf and I sooooooooooo needed her autograph for this PC. Well, now I have it!

And finally, one of the toughest relics to chase in Parks and Rec Press Pass. Aubrey Plaza's autograph I added earlier last year and now having this relic finishes up a need there and puts me a step closer to the single relic set. And who doesn't just love her in general?

Wow there is so much to love here. And this wasn't even all that I got and there was so much to love there as well. Just lots of love on a day of love. Love it all Wes and thank you as always!

I hope all of you find some love in your collection today.

I love that you stopped by to read this.

Have a great Friday and Valentines Day. The final basketball practice for me tonight and two games tomorrow.

Love Is In The Air

Sometimes when there is love, there is pain. Today I am feeling the pain from my surgery yesterday. As I expected, the Urologist couldn't reach the kidney stone and I had a stent placed to help widen my ureters so they can reach the stone in two weeks.

TWO WHAT'S GOING TO BE VERY LONG WEEKS.

All I can say is imagine without too much TMI having to run to the bathroom every hour and a half, going to the bathroom feeling like you are letting go of acid while a mule or donkey kicks in you the kidneys and that's how I feel.

And I went all day yesterday without coffee. NO COFFEE is pain alone.

That changes today. Even though the pain from the stent is there, I was not going empty handed on the coffee end. Especially on Valentine's Day with an item I love.

*takes a sip, maybe kisses it*

Let's move onto something more positive, because today is Valentine's Day and love is in the air. 

Have you ever just saw a card and immediately fell in love with it? Like you needed it and can't live without it?

I had that recently and I am sure you have as well.

When I saw this 2023 Leaf Pop Century Proof Walk Of Fame Kaleidoscope 1/1 of Chevy Chase, I knew I needed it for my PC of him.

The front of the card features like a star/space appeal that my lightbox couldn't even fully capture it's beauty.

The back of the card has a guarantee and a shiny appeal. I didn't undo the Leaf sticker to look closer at the back. My hobby OCD wouldn't allow such things.

*takes a sip before finishing up today's post*

Before I close out today's post, I wanted to wish my wife a Happy Valentine's Day and that I love you. I am never sure which posts she reads or doesn't.

As for the rest of you, I love reading your guys comments and your input about this blog. So, I guess you can say I love you guys!

I also wanted to remind you of the Coffee Card Hall Of Fame voting and that it needs you guys to nominate cards in. Details on this again can be found HERE. I may add this to every post from here on out for a reminder as I will forget about this too! Haha!

Hope you all have a great Wednesday.

Let Me Help You This Valentine's Day

Today is Valentine's Day.

I sure hope you took the time out for your spouse/significant other and hand made them a card, brought them flowers, or some chocolate or at the very least made your bed on the couch ahead of time if you forgot.

Hopefully you didn't forget.

If you did, I may have some help for you. Quickly grab a piece of paper, draw a heart or stick figure-whatever suits you best-and use the following lines,

"Baby, your eyes shine like refractors"

"Is that a box of cards in your pocket, or are just happy to give them to me?"

"You are a short print in a world full of base cards"

"You Complete (set) me"

"Girl, you are Impeccable"

"I chromed everything for you just like everyone likes"

"You Are The FINEST thing I have ever laid eyes on"

"Unlike Panini, you are Flawless"

"Do you believe in love at first sight? Or should I walk by the card section again?"

"Every kiss begins with a pack of cards"

"You are my 1/1"

"Is that a new dress? You look Spxier than usual"

"Do your parents own Panini because they made a great product for once!"

"You are the missing piece to my set"

"If you were a card product, you would be called (insert name) Chrome"

"Hey, my name is Topps.com on a product release day, can I crash at your place?"

"Are you a 1952 Topps Mantle? Because every time I look at you, I smile"

"I may not be a photographer, but I can totally picture us on a Stadium Club base card"

 

"Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, I like to read Cards Over Coffee and I like you too"

If none of these worked and you are on the couch watching reruns of Friends, don't blame this messenger. Blame yourself for forgetting in the first place.
