Morning boys.

Two hours into my five days of work in a row and I'm already piss miserable.

The injections and meds are having zero affect thus far.

Good Morning and Happy Friday Gents! Not much planned for the weekend besides a bit of yard work and hopefully some relaxing as well.

Good morning.

Pulled this from the one box I picked up at the National:

Very cool Pete! I didn't know you picked some wax up. It has been nice seeing a few of the cards I sent your way this week too, thanks for sharing

Yikes Charlie! I hope things start to settle for the better throughout the work week. I really like your new sig

It was pretty cool! I don't think they had any wax, but their retail shop has a ton of really good stuff. They had ALL of the huge cards/autographs that are listed in there ebay store so that was pretty neat to see in person. I debated on getting a Willie Mays autograph signed on an all star game ticket which was in a PSA slab but I didn't see it until after I picked up the 1994 UD autograph. I may have to stop back into there shop sometime soon again.

Some interesting "scraps" in the mail today, from ebay seller leximo.

2005 Fleer Flair "Dynasty Foundations" Arizona Diamondbacks

This card was never produced. The final checklist for this insert ended up being 20 cards, and the Diamondbacks were not included. This card was numbered 2DF. Never made it to final production, but this pre-production card is printed on card stock and even has spot varnish (shiny finish on parts of card - the black names on this card), so it was in final stages of production. Interesting "never released" card.

1996 Topps Gallery No Foil Oversize Proof

1994 Topps Finest Refractor Panel

2013 Topps Allen Ginter Andre Ethier No Number Mini 50 | eBay

 

[clarkzac]

I'm thinking about getting 2 boxes of 2013 topps minis. I saw that there was a 20% off code for first time customers on topps.com. Any thoughts?

 

[MojoDan]

Let us know how you do if you decide to buy a box Zac

Good morning.

Pulled this from the one box I picked up at the National:

My name is Jesse and I approve this post.

How's the weather treating you guys Jesse?

How's the weather treating you guys Jesse?

Not bad right now. We've been below seasonal lately so its felt like fall. Hoping for a nice end to Aug.

And also hoping for a clear weekend so we can go out and see the Perseid meteor shower.
