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).

It's been awhile, but bwvjones and I did another trade.  It was a small one, but some good stuff.

A Visit to my LCS


I had some time to kill last week in-between doctor's appointments, so it was a perfect time to visit the LCS!  I was able to pick up some player collection items, mega collection goodies and I bought my first ever Jumbo pack of Topps products.

The very first card I put in the "buy" pile








These are the 2017 and 2018 KCP&L cards the Royals give away each year
A card I need for my Royals mega collection!
This was my "hit" out of the 2020 Topps Jumbo pack...the unfortunate thing is it has a small ding in the lower left corner.  ðŸ˜±

I've been spending some time on eBay...

I'm trying to collect an autographed and memorabilia card for every player in my PC and every team they have been on.  I've been hitting a little bit of a road block on COMC in achieving this goal, so I decided to try eBay, and so far, so good!  I got this Eric Hosmer Royals autograph for the PC, and it's a great looking 2012 Bowman Platinum card!

Observations:
  • The 100's

  • I have said it, and I'll say it again, I really am not hating on modern day cards; I really think I anoint them the first to go because they do not have as much sentimental value
  • Favorite player on the page:  Tom Herr
  • Favorite card on the page:  1988 Score Ruben Sierra
  • Card most likely to get bumped:   2019 Bowman Shane Baz
