Another BFG Mail Day

Mail days will keep this blog going another week on here as I have many to show off. Some are trades like yesterday's and others were RAK's. Let's check out today's share.

The Sunday NGT Collectibles thread was alive again and @battlebrothersg had a Jerry Rice 1995 Skybox Quickstrike I needed for my set so I asked if it was available and it was!

Thanks @battlebrothersg for the set help. I found someone to hit back on there last week and looking forward to this Sunday.

Johnny's Trading Spot had another BFG and once again I was late to the party. However, with this mail day, I didn't mind after all.

I have always wanted some of these Kellogs 3-D Super Stars after seeing multiple bloggers talk about them and now I finally have a few.

Thanks again Johnny for the fun in BFG. Hopefully I will be there on time for the next, for real this time! I didn't download Chrome on my phone for nothing.

(WHILE I AM AT IT, GO FOLLOW Cards Over Coffee . FIRST POST IS UP!) 

Boog Yeah!

Not sure where my mother-in-law got these, but she handed them to me awhile back and said "not sure if there is anything here but here you go"

I never argue with getting cards of any type so I told her, "thank you they are great." Knowing at first glance that there wasn't much here, but cards are cards to me.

Up first, some Fleer basketball cards. Not the best players or the worst. They were in decent shape at least.

 

And the final card was my favorite card from the group was this 1991 Sportflics Kellogs Boog Powell.

 

First off, 90's card. Second, not something I have or have seen. Third, I like me some Sportflics!

 

I did some research on these and found out it's a 15 card set with a pretty solid checklist with players like Yogi Berra and Hank Aaron. The cards are not worth much individually, but as a group come together as a solid $20 or so set.

It's exciting to know even though my card funds are way down this year, that I have been able to enjoy the hobby with new pickups still thanks to her. I never know where or when she will find me some new stuff, but I know she always has her eyes out for me.

 

Thoughts on today's cards are always welcomed!

WHAT'S IN THE BOX?! PART 1

WHAT'S IN THE BOX??!!!! I yelled, well, quietly yelled to myself making a movie reference from the ending of Seven. Cause honestly like Brad Pitt, I had no idea what was inside this shoe box.

So cautiously hoping not to find a head, I opened the box and found many scrap papers, trash and some hobby items. Yes, buried within this box were some hobby items I had forgotten about. So for fun, I thought I would come up with a new segment to show you what I found.

The very first hobby item I found in the box was an uncut, well it was cut from the back of the box, Olympic cards from the back of a Frosted Flake box. These were released recently in 2012 and were given to me by family members who know my love of collecting and collecting anything that is on cardboard.

I have held onto them, mostly cause I forgot, but will still continue to as they may be something more valuable down the road.

Here is the front of the cards.

The back.

Stay tuned for more surprises from THE BOX. There are 7 parts in all and a little bit of everything including an auto from a "hobby celebrity". Come back to see!
