Reminder, I have a contest open. Hoping for some more entries before I close it down. Check it out here.
I was lucky enough to pull Paul from Scribbled Ink as my Secret Santa. Paul shot me over a nice package of cards that fit nicely right into my collection:
First up some Giants:
Some good stuff with lots of shiny. My favorite is the gold JT Snow Pinnacle parallel, he is my first Giants from this parallel set and I may have to seek out the rest.
More Giants here and some good ones. I love seeing the Big Unit in his Giants uni and who doesn't love a cardboard representation of a pending Buster Hug.
These Diamond Kings cards from this year's set finished all but one of the non-SP cards I need for my set. If you cracked a few packs of this (or more) check out my SP want list. These have proven tough to track down at a reasonable price.
I recently put up a want list for 1990 Fleer inserts. I ran across a few while going through the large collection I bought and they brought back some nice memories. I decided to try and complete the insert sets and Paul noticed the want list and helped me out with a couple of League Standouts.
Paul also included a couple unopened rack packs. The 1990 Fleer rack pack has a HOFer and Giant on the top. Haven't opened these yet and will save for a rainy day.
Great stuff, right? I saved the highlight of the package for the end:
Paul went deep into the want list and knocked off 5 cards from my 1937 Wonderful Railway Travel set. This is a set the same size as T206 cards and Ginter minis and showcases railways all over the world. I love the colors and design of these cards and with these 5, I am down to a want list of 11 cards of the 50 card set.
Paul, thank you for the great package, I really appreciate it!
Love those railway cards
ReplyDeleteI have a few cards from that Railway set, probably won't try to complete it, but it really is a wonderful set.
ReplyDeleteGreat package from Paul!
Those Churchman's Railway cards are awesome! That Langwies Viaduct seems so ahead of its time.
