At home for a couple days, and finally opened all my mail from the past three months. Probably had about 50 packages; took forever to open it all and dispose of the wrappings. Here are the highlights:
2002 SAM Bat. The earliest Gomes bat I've seen by two years (have a couple 2004 bats), presumably from his time at AA Bakersfield. The bat also has Gomes' early (2001-mid 2003) autograph, which is very hard to find. An awesome bat, and my favourite one.
2005 SSK Bat:
2008 SAM Bat. Bought directly from the Rays, now if only I could get their Gomes jerseys...
2005 cleats, signed "Game used Rookie year". The right cleat (third photo, top) still has dirt, grass and the rubbery pellets put in artificial turf, such as at Tropicana. Not sure if the grass is also fake, or from a natural field.
Cards:
Two 2009 Diaz cards pull me up to 94/100 (98/139, 71%) with 1/1s.
Joey Gomes 2003 Topps Black 32/52. Now at 66/77 (86%), 68/97 (70%) with 1/1s. One card is incoming.
Jonny Gomes:
2005 Topps Total Jonny Gomes/James Houser, double signed. I sent one of these to Gomes a couple years ago, who sent it back within days, signed. Sending it next to Houser, it was never returned. This copy I bought on eBay for $6 shipped.
Completed the 2009 Topps 206 run:
Piedmont............................Polar Bear.........................Old Mill.............................Cycle 95/99
And this. And yes, I noticed.
