The Front And The Back

Gavin from Baseball Card Breakdown blog and I usually do small PWE surprise exchanges occasionally, but sometimes we bring out the big guns and go all out. That was one of these times.

This time I brought out my Tim Duncan Printing Plates I have held onto for years from my Printing Plate PC-something I have broken up now in different trades-and we did a plate trade. Despite me messing up on my end, not noticing that one of the four plates was another player, Gavin was right on key with what he sent me.

Somehow or another, Gavin has been locating and hoarding Rodney Hampton printing plates for me. I am in no position to complain about that as I know one way or another they will make their way to me, it's just surprising how he finds them.

And this time he found three to send my way.

Back plate

Another back plate. I have another copy of this one. But, it appears the writing on this one is a tad darker than that one.

And we find the front to the backs.

 

With these plate adds, I now have 6 total. Four of which come from Gavin.

Next is a Ghostbusters autograph add for my set. Nice looking signature of Bobby Brown. Now only 7 autographs left to chase! (update only 3 left)

That was the trade we had made above, however, the great Gavin wasn't done there. He passed along some bonuses because he knew I could use some cheering up back when I had my first kidney stone surgery this year. Good guy.

Gavin had posted about this chopping up of a pair of Brian Giles game used pants and making relics. Well, this one was a tease for a Yankees fan as the card features Derek, but is Giles used and discusses Giles on the back. Still cool no matter.

I KNEW Slimer was a Giants fan. He may look green and live in NY so you gotta think Jets, but in the end, he is true blue. Great looking sketch card for my Ghostbusters PC by Gavin with an added Giants touch.

So another mail day from Gavin comes to a close. So long cowboy til next time and thanks Gavin!

 

(in case you were wondering why I stuck a random Elvis card in here, it's because Gavin sent it I assume as a filler)
