The Big Cat Delivers

I know that one of my resolutions at the beginning of the year was to cut down on trading with so many new people, mostly because last year I had wasted so much time digging stuff out to trade just to have it fall through, but there were some cards I was interested in posted by @TheBigCat63 that I just had to try and get.

So we talked some in messages and out of nowhere bloomed a big time trade. There were cards I got to have first dibs on before they were even posted. Those I am very excited about and most are on this post today but some more coming up over the next few days. Not only was he very nice to talk to, he was very easy to trade with, threw in some great freebies and is new to trading online as well. I am hoping my posts over the next few days will help him gain new trading friends.

Let's check out part one of this three part mail day posting.

He tossed in a ton of Blue parallels for 2015 Americana with roughly half I needed for my set chase. He even tossed in some Freeze Frames for that set as well and all were new.

My man Hootie! A Hootie insert along with some numbered parallels from Panini Country Music.

Al Jardine relic. I can't say this enough, non sport relics are awesome.

David Marks relic. Once again, very cool.

Legendary Ginger Rogers. I love these older relics Panini put in Americana. I just wished the product line would make a return.

Not sure who Joe Giduice is, but hey, it's a non sport relic. So it works.


A pair of Bette Davis relics. And yes, she definitely has Bette Davis eyes.

Jane Russell relic. Bright red!

Mickey Rourke relic. He has been in about a million films.

And finally funny man Kevin Hart. I recently traded for another piece for my collection involving him. That will be posted soon as well.  I know some don't like him but I am a fan and enjoy most of his movies. I still need to see Night School Any of you see it?

Part one is just the beginning of this massive mail day. Much more to come tomorrow so stay tuned!

Mail Day Saturday: Every Time I Look At This I Don't Go Blind

Today is the final part of my latest trade mail day with 90's Niche Football Card Blog. One I have been extremely excited about showing off.

As you have seen on here, I have busted a couple boxes of 2014 Panini Country Music hoping to find myself a Darius Rucker autograph and never had any luck in doing so.

Rucker, for those of you who may not remember, was the lead singer of one of my favorite groups of the 90's in Hootie And The Blowfish before deciding he wanted to crossover to country music. Honestly, with my dislike of country music, I haven't even heard one of his country songs so I am not sure if he is even any good at it.

In my mind, he is and always will be Hootie.

When 90's Niche Football Card Blog and I discussed the possibility of helping me acquire an autograph of his, we were looking at doing his basic auto from the product, but when a autograph silhouette came up for cheaper, he helped snag it for me and we made a deal for it.



I was beyond excited to add this one to the PC. Maybe I will even still bust some of the 2014 Country Music because it is so cheap just to see if I can land the other autograph of his from the product.

A big thanks goes out to 90's Niche Football card blog for the overall trade. With his help, I got the Rucker auto, I got my Psych set complete and was able to add some cool Giants cards. Another big trade complete for us and from what I can tell, another one will more than likely build up down the road.

Nuttin' But The Hits:2014 Panini Country Music

Okay, I have said this before and I will say it again, I am not a fan of country music in any kind of way. However, Country Music cards, oh yes!

Especially for a product you can get 4 hits with at least 2 autographs per box, 5 inserts and 2 parallels for the price of a blaster and you can find big names in these to. Oh, did I mention autograph silhouettes as well. EPIC. I could bust this stuff all day.

This is my second break of this product. My first went better, but for the price, I am not complaining at all with whatever I get.

Up first, my two numbered silver parallels along with my first Darius Rucker base card. We all know Rucker from Hootie fame. Speaking of Hootie in this product, stay tuned for another card I am posting in the future.....


The hits are well designed and very colorful. You can land some pretty nice multi-color swatches.




The autographs are sticker, but still cool.


I even landed a silver /49 version.
 

Like I stated earlier, not a bad break for the cost and I hope to bust more down the road.
