A long delayed public Thank You


Some months ago I ran across a post on the blog Baseball Every Night with some cards that were being given away. I think he had bought a random pack just for fun, but didn't have any desire to hold onto the cards. None the less, I grabbed the 3 cards above and he was gracious enough to send them to me free of charge.

Then the dreaded thing happened...the mail got buried, literally, in my home office. I've been trying to dig myself out over these last two months and just the other day I found these 3 cards. I hate it when I do this because I always like to publically thank fellow bloggers that I trade with or in this case, send me free stuff.

Thank you Peter for the cards. I'm sorry about the long delay!! If you haven't visited his blog, I encourage you to do so. Good stuff.

2016 Topps Archives Want List

I used some of my birthday money to purchase a few rack packs and blasters to bolster up what little I had of Archives. This is a set I've toyed around with in the past, but never gave building the set the same attention that I do to the likes of Gypsy Queen or Allen & Ginter. However I've got a nice little start to the set and while I'm sure I'll pick up a few more packs I thought I'd post my want list just in case anyone wanted to try to work out a trade.

Let me say that seeing the 1991 design used as a retro design now makes me feel really old! It was a great design however and it's made opening packs and collating these cards that much more fun for me. I also like the fact that the set isn't filled with a bunch of inserts and I have a new Javy Lopez auto to chase!
