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).

Target repack

I was at Target awhile back and I was eagerly waiting for Stadium Club to come out.  My Target and Walmart are always behind on release dates.  Anyway, I settled for this repack that guaranteed a hobby pack and TWO hits.  Those last three words got me.  Here's what I got...

A pack of 2018 Allen & Ginter

SP


2 packs of 2018 Topps



The Hobby pack was 2013 Panini Prizm

TCDB trade with Hilochef

Hilochef and I are frequent trading partners.  Every time I put that package or envelope in the mail to him in Hawaii, I get a little jelly each time that my cards are going to Hawaii and I'm not.  Here's my goodies!


I was going to send this for a TTM, but he was recently released.  I don't know that he's been picked up by anyone yet.

Needed the Herrera for my Royals mega collection




Needed the Arcia for my Cubs mega collection



A few for the GQ set

2019 Big League

Work is still in the way of my card collecting, trading and TTM'ing.  I hope to have a little reprieve after the 1st of September, but that's still a month and a half away.  I have been able to buy a blaster box of some new stuff, and today, is 2019 Topps Big League.  I like the design; it reminds me of 1987 Topps, but in a modern way.  Overall, an ok blaster box in terms of "hits," but not very good for items for my collections.
