With all the bombs going back and forth I feel like a CNN war correspondent should be covering this battle between Hazel Green Alabama and Morgantown West Virginia. Wes did not give me much time to celebrate my most recent bombing because within a couple of days I had a bubble mailer and a mystery box in my mailbox. I'm starting to feel sorry for my mail lady. I guess it is common to have innocent victims during wartime.
An ominous threat.....
Here are the contents of the mystery box except for my favorite piece which is at the end.
Casey's time with the Pirates was short, but the fans loved him. He grew up in the Pittsburgh area and still resides there today.
Former Steeler running back Barry Foster. I was an avid collector of Starting Lineups. I kept all my in the box which I believe is in my parents attic.
Some Topps jumbo that I haven't busted yet.. Figured they may be a good blog post one day.
I thought I was being pretty smooth by giving Wes a 1/1 for being one of my contest winners, but he fired one right back my way. This is a Triple Threads White Whale 1/1 of former Steelers running back Jonathan Dwyer. Dwyer is now playing for the Arizona Cardinals. Awesome card!
When I first glanced at this card I though I already had it, but upon closer examination it is a parallel /50. Former WVU running back Charles Sims looks to have significant time with the Bucs next year.
The old Sterling autos are classy looking.
I love the Mad Dog. Sweet Spot Classic was a great set to nab some classic Buccos.
Grilli is now a member of the Braves, but really made his mark with the Pirates during his tenure.
Topps Marquee was a bust with collectors, but offered a great opportunity on the secondary market to score some high end Buccos. This Tabata is awesome.
Refractor to /199 Polanco.
Legend.
One of Walks better cards.
I got Walked.
The gem of the whole bombing was this great hat. I tried to get my daughter to model it, but she just tried to eat it. Rest assured I will be wearing this to a Buccos game this year.
Well you won this battle Wes, but I'm regrouping as I type this. I just found my nuclear bomb!
Until next time......
Those giant photo packs are from 1981, if I'm not mistaken...
ReplyDeleteY'all crazy.
Looking forward to busting the packs. Wes is the craziest person alive!
DeleteI think we have a winner with that hat! Fantastic bunch of stuff from Super Bomberman.
ReplyDeleteI agree. That was something else!
DeleteAnd only 99 of them makes them all limited and stuff
DeleteI think my new goal will be to get Teke to sign it.
DeleteIt's a admirable effort, but you aren't beating JBF, Matt.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is possible.
DeleteAwesome haul! Love that Casey bobble. I love Starting Line Ups and have a few in my collection. I remember those Giant Photo Packs and may even have a couple. I really need to dig around.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike. I dig that Casey too!
DeleteI'm going to pull out of our conflict. You're going to need to divert all your resources to one cause to even match Jaybarkerfan.
ReplyDeleteHa. No way I could ever match Wes. The guy is a madman. He is beyond generous.
DeleteSeriously, Matt you're at the top of the blogosphere when it comes to generosity and resources, but you're going to need more than just that to take down JBF. You need to think big! Like making alliances with MANY other bloggers, and then creating and successfully executing a blitzkrieg on the Jaybarkerfan head quarters from all corners of the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteYou are right! I need an alliance. Maybe we should all time a package for him. That will show him! In all actuality I don't think Wes is beatable. The man is a machine. I just enjoy our back and forth to much to stop. Like you said....I just need to be more creative.
DeleteAlliances...hmmm
DeleteI need to think outside the box...
DeleteI will continue my assaults with unique armaments from around the globe. #warwithwalk
ReplyDeleteYou are the unstoppable force.
DeleteI've tried joining the battle, but you know how French are with war...
ReplyDeleteHahahaha. I could always use the Biebs as a diversion.
DeleteI know nothing about war with JBF. When it comes to battle, I'm a fence-WALKer. In this case though, I have to say war IS better than peace time!
ReplyDeleteThis war is a blast even though I have no chance of winning.
