Xmas Loot

Even as I approach my mid 30's my Mom is still adamant that I give her some gift ideas.  This year I was a little later than normal as I was out of town a good bit in early December. That actually worked in my favor as she approached my older brother for some ideas.  My brother is pretty in tune with what I like.  He avoids cards but is always finding great pieces of memorabilia.  

First is my brothers gift. 



Jerry West auto basketball! I have a few nice West pieces in my collection, but this is by far the nicest.  My brother even got a nice case for it.  He can stay my brother for now.....


This was a huge surprise.  Normally my Mom hooks me up with one cool Pirate piece a year, but this year she threw me a curve ball and went the WVU route.  The auto is of former Mountaineer great and NFL Hall of Famer Sam Huff.  What a great surprise.

Back to getting caught up with all the great trade packages tomorrow.  Tonight I'm getting some sleep.

    Wow, your family hooked you up with probably the two best WVU alumni there, very nice!

      The Huff helmet was a complete surprise. I was super pumped about that.

    Very cool presents. I think my parents need to start reading your blog (and Gavin's) for ideas.

      I have to rely on my brother for this stuff. He is over at my house a good bit so he has a good understanding of what I have. He knows not to fool around with cards because I'm always adding.
