Big Collection Update: 6 Months of Mail

Spring training has arrived so it's time to finally get caught up with scanning and get excited for baseball!
I've branched out a bit in the last 6 months of collecting. There aren't too many Zambranos I need, so I've had to focus on some other players to keep me occupied.

My Zambrano win ticket collection has made some progress. I'm up to 71/123. You can see all of them here:

I also started a Starlin Castro home run ticket collection and am up to 25/27, so I should be caught up soon

In terms of cards I've been focusing on some younger players I like, along with any Z's I need.
I'll start of with some Arodys Vizcainos. I have 18 base chrome autos as well.










I've picked up some Jeimer Candelarios. Here are just a few. Also up to 223 base autos.








Some game used pickups from the minors:

A few Zambrano cards:
3 1/1s

and my favorite, this 1/1 (I miss the days of way overproduced 1/1s )


And let's finish with some Castro stuff

Career Hit #399




Game Used 2009 Futures Game Cleats



Game Used 2010 Rookie Road Cleats (Was super happy to find these to go with my home cleats)


Game Used 2012 Cleats, worn during the middle the season



I love the look of these cleats. Worn towards the end of the 2012 season.



Game Used 2012 Mother's Day Bat (5-13-12)
He went 2-5 with an RBI



Bought this to go along with some game used items from the 2011 All-Star Game


Game Used 2011 All-Star Game Pants (He stole 2nd and 3rd before getting thrown out at home)



Game Used 2011 Helmet (Photomatched to the All-Star Game 7-12-11)
Interestingly enough he took the All-Star emblem off and continued using it after the game.

Thanks for looking! Also compliments to Mr. Gilmore the auto-saved content feature saved me from having to repost all the pictures.

That is incredibly impressive.

YIKES

Outstanding! VERY well done job with the photo matching as well. Must have been a blast to open all that stuff

Good Lord ! You need to open up a mini-Cubs museum with all those acquisitions !

Holy XXXX man. If I was ever to be jealous of some pickups then nows the time.

No wonder I haven't been able to pick up Vizcaino on the cheap

Holy Candelario!
