The Wes Wing Episode 6

The Wes Wing is always full of surprises when you really dive in. Sometimes cards are not the only thing you find and sometimes cards are hidden within the walls of other items.

That's one thing you will always need to do, is be aware The Wes Wing is always going to jump out and shock you with something.

Pins, coins and caps. These are things I don't have in my collection but am now going to thoroughly enjoy.

This should be a good read, just by it's cover.

I have a few of these Madden Mcdonald's toys, but not my Gmen. This is top shelf item combining two of my favorite things. If there was a card to go with it as well,that's called heaven.

Topps oversized cards. Love the embossing.

Moses Malone vintage. Wes has been helping me big time with my weak vintage.

Julius Erving!

This is pretty cool. Didn't have this before. I am going to keep it sealed as well.

The Wes Wing has even more graded vintage within,






All vintage graded cards locked with a key in The Wes Wing.

JPP rookie autograph. If only the Giants had actually kept him after his decent year in Tampa Bay.

New Gmen including two Jeremy Shockey rookies.

Just found a dust Webb in The West Wing.

Emmitt insert I can never get tired of.


Two more of the inserts I spoke about building the set of.

Only two more cards, well at least gallery of, to show off for this final visit into The Wes Wing but before it comes to an end....

Gotta seal it off with a Kiss (my first one and want list item checked off!)

And one long fist pump as we shut the door.

Thanks for taking a trip with me into The Wes Wing. We are not fully done with seeing cards from The Wes Wing as many more will be seen in the near future in a different form.

A Ginormo-humungo-over the top-over the rainbow-skipping in the rain-dancing in the streets-back flipping-side stepping-dabbing-thank you to Wes for giving me cards for The Wes Wing. Your generosity is uncanny and like I have said before only drives me to be better at it.

The Wes Wing Episode 4

Here at The Wes Wing not everything comes opened. Some things come sealed, those things could contain many surprises within. You just never know what to expect at The Wes Wing....

Inside of The Wes Wing was multiple boxes packed with packs. I haven't fully decided what to do with them yet. It's either keep them sealed, open them, or keep the ones sealed I have one of and open others that there are multiples of. It all could become a new TV Series.

Here are some of the highlights or packs I found interesting and hadn't seen before,



(inner child squealed at this one)






(always wanted packs of these!)





There were many many others as well including some The Simpsons which I don't even own a single pack of. That was one of my favorite shows to watch in the 90's. Just never found any of the cards locally. I will probably keep that pack sealed.

NICE!! Hefty Lefty auto! My first one. I can cross him off of my NY Giants autograph list needs.

Sweet Anthony Mix refractor.

New Griffey Jr for the PC

Saquon!!!

Bombs away! What an incredible die cut insert. Remember when inserts were fun?!?!

Some guy names Mahomes..

And another beautiful Griffey Jr to end

We are closing in on the finale of The Wes Wing with just two more episodes left! What will turn out next, well stay tuned!

The Wes Wing Episode 3

Welcome back once again to The Wes Wing.

In The Wes Wing, all cards of all shapes, sizes and values are all appreciated the same way.

Let's take a look at some more cards shall we?

Emmitt Smith insert. Even as a die hard Giants fan, gotta admit that he was one of the greats.

I don't know a lot of older names for any sport, besides the big ones, but I appreciate any vintage I can add to my collection whenever I can. I don't have much of it and I enjoy being able to look at it up close. The Wes Wing had plenty to showcase,










I know maybe one of the names above besides the team card, but that's okay with me! Cards look great! I am sure you vintage or big time fans know all of these names.

I was a fan of Jake's because of his late 90's origin. He was fun to watch as well.

Upper Deck's USA football is an underrated product. I wished I had bought more so I could have landed an autograph of possible future NY Giant Dwayne Haskins.

Moore didn't get too far in his career with the Gmen as he couldn't stay out of trouble, however he is playing in that new league so it will be interesting to see how he does.

Brendan Fraser was one of the biggest 90's stars out there. I was a fan of some of his movies especially Bedazzled. Him and Elizabeth Hurley make a hilarious pair.

Tyrod Taylor is a better QB than he gets credit for. He led Buffalo to some great wins. I say you put a better team around him and see better results.

My first Brian Wilson relic from Beach Boys product. My father found Wilson's autograph at a yard sale for $2 and instead of trading it to me he flipped it for over $100. Autographs from this product are not easy to find.

My first well...girly autograph. You never forget your first.

Scotty Moore autograph from the Elvis product. Anytime I can add any non sport autograph I will.

My first American Horror Story auto. I need to give this series a watch still.

Wayne Gallman numbered card to end The Wes Wing gallery for today.

More surprises around the corner to come!
