Custom

Catching up on mail days is not an easy job. I am still so, so backed up that I have begun breaking them down the best way I can to hurry the process. This may include not all of the cards I was sent.

For today's post it wasn't too hard to post three cards, even though this should have been posted a couple months ago.

Once again, Greg over at Nine Pockets blog made some cool customs and printed them off to give away.

There are certainly some great customs out there by bloggers and I think Greg's are some of the best. The ones he recently, recently is a word to tread lightly on as this was awhile back, were from his 2021 portfolio.

Growing up watching The Simpsons, I jumped on these two right off. These are based off from Pro Set golf design.

 

And my final claim, though there were others I wanted, was Jim Carrey. I enjoyed both Dumb and Dumber and Ace Ventura and thought this was a cool dual card.

Thanks again to Greg for the sweet customs. Can't wait to see what you create in 2022!

If you like these, he also sells them. Go check out his blog and see where you can pick these up and others.

(UPDATE: Greg also just sent me a Samurai Jack custom I gave to a kid with Autism who loves the show and who was also ecstatic about it. He gives his thanks)

Incredible Upper Deck Trade Mail Day From JBF

Just a short couple of weeks ago, I pulled off a pretty cool trade with Jaybarkerfans Junk blog where I landed a few cards for my PC. This time the ante was way upped! Happiness doesn't even begin to express how I felt when this package arrived as I knew three amazing cards were arriving. I am sure you guys would agree.

Up first, as you know from past reads on here, I love unique pieces. This is a 2001 Fleer (yes I know I said this was an Upper Deck post but they own the Fleer license so technically it is) Hot Prospect Goal Post Cover Card. Pretty cool huh? Nothing that I knew of existed.

Up next is a 1/1 Printing Plate of the speedy Raghib Ismail. I like printing plates and he was also a golden domer.

And finally, the apple of my card eye of the group, a 2009 Prominent Cuts Holllywood History Dual Memorabilia card of Jackie Gleason (the multi color) and Jim Carrey!!!

Now, don't get me wrong, all three cards are awesome. But when it comes to just picking one, the last card wins slightly. It's soooooooooooooooooooooo cool to own a piece of Hollywood history. Gleason's shirt is from The Honeymooners and Carrey's hockey jersey swatch is from Bruce Almighty.

A big thanks is due to JBF for the trade! I look forward to our next one which I think will be very soon!
