Community Gum comes through again

A few weeks ago those great guys from Community Gum broke a case of 2012 Topps series 2.  While there wasn't any new Tim Hudson cards for me to chase there was plenty of other new Braves cards.  In their typical fashion the guys pulled some great Braves cards which I quickly swooped in on.

In addition to picking up all the base cards of the team and the normal inserts like the '87 Minis and the various gold themed cards I came away w/ 2 higher end inserts.

The Braves have a pretty young pitching staff this season and while most of the guys have had some rough starts lately it's always great to pick up autographs...especially when they come cheap.  Randall shows a lot of promise.  Even though the auto is a sticker at least it makes the Golden Moments design look better.

The highlight of the deal for me was picking up another 1/1 printing plate card.  This time it's #429 Michael Bourn.  He is having a great year and I really hope he gets that last needed push to end up on the All-Star team.  I've heard other Braves fans say he reminds them of Marquis Grissom and I can see the resemblance.

I think I'm going to start having Andy and Jon open up all my packs as they pull more and better Braves than I ever do.  Thanks guys!

Check Out My Cards (order)

A little bird told me about a sale COMC was having so I decided to see what I had sitting in my account collecting virtual dust.  As you'll see it's a small selection of several things.  I was so excited to not only find these cards, but many of them were $.25 or less!  I'm working on setting up albums for each of the player(s) / team(s) I collect showcasing mostly autographs and game-used/relic cards.  For now enjoy my recent COMC haul.

   

Love Raffie.  Love the photo.  The Gold Rush parallels were unique for their time.  Wooden McGriff card?  How could I not grab it?

I shudder at adding a Phillies card into my collection, but these Masterpieces auto cards are so nice.

  
  

$.10 each.  How could I pass 'em up?

  
  

The Hudson Craftsmen card looks better than it scanned.  The Blas Minor auto I picked up b/c of the verse.

  
  

David Ross is a highly underrated catcher in the Majors and I couldn't pass up some cheap RCs.

  
  

I'm working on building this awesome 1997 Fleer Night & Day set...but this card will go to my Smoltz PC.



Julius Hodge draft day hat auto.  Another nice card for my NC State basketball collection.



I'm a sucker for these Net-Fusion Pacific cards!
