Welcome to my blog!!!

I have collected baseball cards and autographs over the years. I still have boxes full of cards (as well as newer cards) that are just sitting there. So, I have decided to see how many of them I can get autographed. I use through the mail as my preferred route for this adventure. I also have an account on Zistle and The Trading Card Database for trading purposes (stevienicks77).

Road to the National Card Show - Omaha edition

Last weekend, I attended the biggest card show I've ever been to.  Unfortunately, I couldn't get there until Sunday, but based on my experience, I will plan better and make sure I can go more days next year. I spent more money than I thought I would, but I really haven't been spending money on cards lately, so maybe I can call that a win.  ðŸ˜‚ I know I've been MIA from trades on TCDB, but now that my big summer conference is over, manuscript written to be submitted, now I can kick back and spend some time on my card collection.  Here's my top 10 cards (in no particular order) I purchased at the show:


I hope he can stick and help the Cubbies win a Central title.  I needed a relic for the PC collection.

This is only my second HFA; I have an Aaron Judge one, too.

My first Cags; hopefully he can return from injury soon.

This is a cool card; it opens like a book!

Hawkeye rookie with the Rockies

Barber shop vibes, and looks good with the all white uni.

Can't pass up a big relic

My second CC PSA card.

My first ghost parallel

Ryno Topps RC.  I just need the Fleer now.

Not a holy grail, but finally a great price on a much needed card!

FINALLY!

This card is on eBay quite a bit, however, the price is always out of my league.  But not today!  



I actually, kinda need two of these, but if I only end up with one, I'll live!  This will reside in my George Brett PC for now, but it would be nice to have a second for my 2012 ASG mega collection.
