You Just Never Know.....

When tearing apart my collection looking for some trade cards, I ran into a few cards I didn't know I had. I was pleasantly surprised and happy to have found them. It also leads me to wonder what else I may have forgotten about. If I find more, I will post them, but in the meantime, enjoy what I found this time.

A 2012 Panini Contenders Richard Sherman rookie card. I may not like the guy, but he is a dominant player and a rookie card I needed.

Then I discovered what some may call a rarity, 1991 Topps Desert Shield cards in MINT condition of Gary Sheffield and

Fred McGriff.
It has been said that only 6.500-7,000 sets of these cards were produced and were given out to only troops involved in the first Gulf War. So there may not be many of these that made it home in great condition. So finding some first was a surprise, but finding them in such great condition was an added bonus.

After finding these I strongly believe I need to revisit a few boxes of stuff I haven't looked through in awhile. Who knows what I may find and if I do find something, I will definitely show you guys!

    I have found things I forgot I had. I have also bought something thinking I didn't have it and when I went to put the new copy in with the rest of its kind there was my first copy looking right at me.

    Recently I was looking thru boxes of what I though were commons and I found a Mariano Rivera Ultra rookie and a Clayton Kershaw UD Timeline Baseball rookie.

    I FOUND THOSE 1986 STAR KNICKS SET WITH THE PATRICK EWING ROOKIE. YOU CAN GET A RARE CHIPPER JONES ROOKIE OUT OF THAT DESERT STORM SET.

    I do this a lot. My best find was a Topps Opening Day photo variation of Mariano Rivera.

    My little brother was looking through a bunch of cards I had left at my moms house way back in the day and he found a Tom Brady rookie card! He still has it, and still gives me crap about it all the time.
