Bloggers Note: I am so far behind in mail day postings as I was recently hammered with trades and other incoming items. In my move to ditch all segments, I have taken all of my drafts and have scheduled all 100+ of them over the next few months. By August, all segments will be gone and I can free bird blog like this post again as I prefer to do that. The point of this bloggers note is to let everyone who recently sent me a mail day that I do plan on posting them when I can sneak them in with the already scheduled posts. Sorry for the delay but without further ado, here is today's bonus posting)
As most fellow bloggers know, I am always on the lookout for new sites or blogs to read and check out. Thanks to the word spreading of Beans Ballcard Blog on Twitter I have been able to add quite a few to my daily reading. He takes a few days out of the week and tweets out posts from a ton of blogs. Some I know of, others I don't and add to my list.
One of the most recent ones was Lingua Sports Cards. This is a blog that covers baseball, football and basketball so if you are a fan of any of those go give it a check out,
HERE.
Anyways, the post that Bean's had tweeted out was a contest one to win inserts and hits from many Topps retail boxes that they broke recently. Not only was I surprised by winning, but I was surprised I was the only one who entered and was even more surprised by what arrived. If you missed out on this contest, you will have many regrets. I actually had to split this up into two-parts just to cover it all.
Let's take a look at all of the beauty.
Up first, some Topps inserts
Parallels. Both foil and gold.
Wrigley Inserts
I haven't seen these before. Pretty cool additions
Ichiro hits!
Reprint inserts.
Lots of MLB Debut inserts. Don't have any of these players for them.
A new Griffey! Someday I hope to finish this set.
You all know I am a huge fan of First Pitch and these are all new. Double bonus!
Blurry pic, but Heritage and Ginter inserts
Some Gyspy Queen this time with a numbered frame parallel
Haven't ever seen one of these, cool. Even though Zack looks like he should posing for a shampoo commercial with it blowing in the breeze.
Some mini madness.
You must be by now saying, why didn't I enter. Am I correct???
Now onto some Bowman prospects
Then some chrome prospects
and finally to end this part 1, some shiny things. Devers has a bright future.
This is only a part of the mail day and it's already insane. I have more to show so come back Wednesday to see the finale!
