Got home for the first time in three months, and opened up my mail. Shredder might need a bit of a breather after all the packaging I sent through it! So while it takes a break, here are some of the highlights for those who will indulge with me.
I bought my first 1/1 of Gomes 9 years ago, and just now pushed the total up to and over 100. Now at 102, with 103 in the mail. At this rate #200 will come in 2023, though if Gomes makes a future Moments & Milestones, that mark could come much sooner. Two other milestones were hit: 600 cards (now 603), and 500 non-1/1s (now 501). There's a certain absurdity to the fact that more than 1/6 of the cards I have of Gomes are 1/1s.
Speaking of which, who also has 100 1/1s of their player? I know of [MENTION=3743]AmishDave[/MENTION] and the Teixera guy on another forum (The Bench?), [MENTION=2179]Thumpersports[/MENTION] for Glaus, and the Brunell guy. There have got to be some more, and if you're anywhere near there, feel free to use this thread to show off with...
Other than the 1/1s, all that mail mostly brought duplicates from previous years, and burnished the 2014 credentials. One of those cards was pretty cool, an acetate /10 (pictured below). Also, a shoutout to [MENTION=4830]tribefan26[/MENTION], who sent me a cool error card he pulled. Thanks! On the non-card front, I got three lineup cards (one pictured) from Gomes' AA days. Pretty fun to look at them, and recognize some of the names I used to see while watching the AAA Durham Bulls.
The collection now stands at 603/753 (80%), or 501/510 (98%) without 1/1s. At least one of those, a 2014 Topps Pink /50, should pop up soon enough. I also have 102/243 of Gomes' 1/1s, for 42%.
