Got some fun stuff in the mail today:

The Eck/Gray double rip card is not the most photogenic but at least it's 06/10. And three 2017 Ginter Brooklyn Back Minis /25. I preferred when they were Bazooka backs since for me hard gum > NYC, but these are nice.

That Rivera is amazing!

2010 Topps Black Rich Harden 14/59 completes the full run of Rich Harden Topps Black cards (ten of them, counting the 2007 Copper). Then a couple of Topps Now goodies.

2019 Topps Breathless Bernie Williams Promo -- Given out only during a charity softball game. Another oddball for my Yankees Topps run, picked up the 2018 earlier this year.

I always love seeing a Mo auto and that one is fantastic. I remember when you posted the 2018 Bernie and the 2019 is really nice too. Well done, sir.

Couple of big ones today:

080521.jpg
2020 Select Prizm Green Die Cut Dilfer 1/5 - there are 9 versions of this card in the set, a /35, two /25's, two /10's, two /5's, and two 1/1's. I believe this is my fifth, but I also have the remaining /10 I need incoming so I just need the other /5 and the 1/1's. I was outbid on one of the 1/1's so I doubt it's popping up again...not a huge deal, if somebody was willing to pay more than me they can have it.

I'm much more excited about the 1997 Finest Silver Embossed Refractor Jason Giambi. This was the first one I had seen in a very long time and I hit the $20 BIN instantly. The pictures weren't super great so I was taking a chance it was one of those non-embossed Leximo backdoor cards, but luckily it's totally legit. One of my top most wanted '90s cards.

The Waddell card is nothing special, it's from the 1950-56 Callahan HOF set. I still need the Home Run Baker and Chief Bender cards from the set but they were short-printed so it'll be difficult to find them for a good price.

Today's mail:

080621.jpg
2002 Topps Chrome Black Refractor Jermaine Dye 34/50, I overpaid on this but these cards are tough and if you pass on one you might not see another for years. Plus there's that crazy expensive Pujols from the set on eBay so who knows if this is going to become the next hot set or something. 1998 Leaf Fractal Materials Die Cut Jose Canseco 0124/1000, however only the first 200 are die cut. 1995 Stadium Club Virtual Reality Members Only Henderson, which leaves me the Ring Leaders Henderson away from finishing all of my A's Member's Only needs for all of the years they did those in the '90s. 2014 Bowman Chrome Gold Refractor Tim Hudson 16/50, the 2006 is the last one I need to complete his Bowman Chrome Gold Refractor run. And lastly a 1963 Bazooka Mickey Cochrane, need two more to finish that team set.

Not much in the mail today. I've got some fun 90s stuff as well as an SGC sub coming in Monday or Tuesday though.

I love the Holiday cards for some reason and I'm just stacking up Vlad Jr RCs for the future.

This is a duplicate for my Helsley collection but for $3 shipped I'll take it.

Some good ones today:

080721-1.jpg
The 1998 Donruss Silver Press Proof Rickey completes the team set. I still need his Gold Press Proof to complete that team set...I bought one earlier this year and it got lost in the mail right before it got to me. The 1996 Topps Wrecking Crew McGwire was oddly difficult to find, it was easier finding the Chrome and Chrome Refractor versions of the card. The 2004 Bowman Chrome Draft Huston Street Gold Refractor fills a major hole in my Street collection, and also puts me one short of completing all 2004 Bowman Chrome Gold Refractor A's (where are you, Brant Colamarino?). The Semien Ginter 10th Anniversary is 10/10, and the two 2010 Ginter Minis are Bazooka backs.

080721-2.jpg
A plethora of Ginter Silks (or Cloths?) all /10. Plus the backs of the Bazooka backs.

EDIT: That's weird, the site automatically shrunk my pictures a little and I can't figure out how to fix it. Never had that issue before. Have I been naughty and uploaded too much?

My son and I ran by the Fayetteville, AR mall show today and I found a few things. Gotta love $1 boxes.

Wish this one had been in a $1 box but I got a good deal on it anyway. He had a B&W parallel too but we couldn't come to an agreement on price unfortunately.

That's my neck of the woods. Nice finds! I went by a table the day before the show as the guy set up early since he was a promoter. I found a Ryno 1992 Score Sample in the 50 cent box. Not a crazy find, but it's the best I've ever found at a local show. Then again, I'm not very patient when it comes to digging through boxes.

We're just over the Oklahoma border so we hit a lot of the Fayetteville, Siloam Springs, Rogers, and Bentonville shows. There's a Bentonville show the first weekend in September that we'll be attending for sure and we're thinking about the Springfield, MO show the third weekend in September.

Hmm the site is screwing with my image sizes again...anyway there's another Dilfer 2020 Select auto card, this one is 09/10. I believe I'm just missing one /5 and the two 1/1's from this set now. A 2011 Topps Sparkle Brett Anderson, I've been trying to finish up the A's sparkles lately and they can be tough to come by at this point. 1985 Topps Tiffany Rickey Henderson - this was the very last A's Topps Tiffany card I needed for quite a while now, finally found one at not too terrible of a price (though way more than I would have paid 2 years ago). '88 Topps Cecilio Guante to add to my set...I've really hit a wall on the set at this point, 33 left and they're all really expensive and/or really hard to find. It'll be slow going from here. The 2007 Topps Chrome Blue Refractor Jay Marshall completes the team set. And we'll toss in a Bobby Crosby 2007 Ginter Bazooka back mini.

And a big thanks to @delsant2 for helping me out with some A's cards I didn't have! I especially like the humongous Dufex McGwire.

Oh excellent, so glad they arrived! Did the jumbo survive the trip safely?
