I was Given a Whole Collection

A couple weeks back I was contacted by Tim from the Great Sports Name Hall of Fame.  Tim told me that every so often he purges his collections and that former WVU Mountaineer Jarrett Brown was not making the cut.  He was looking for a good home for that collection and I was happy to accept such a generous offer.

This actually worked out quite nice as I already had a decent selection of Brown cards and this helped fill some holes in the collection. What surprised me was how many autos/parallels Tim sent my way. You had quite the Brown collection!

Wow!!!! So many great cards.  I know you didn't want anything in return, but I'm not going to let that crazy nice gesture go away empty handed.  I'll be sure to find you something really nice for one of your active collections.  Thanks again Tim, this really blew me away.

Thanks for reading!

Spastik Headliners

It took way too long for Mr. SpastikMooss of The Great Sports Name Hall of Fame and I to trade. I'm a frequent reader of his blog because he is a Jarrett Brown collector who happens to be a WVU alum like myself. Also, who doesn't like reading about cool names like Razor Shines and Pete LaCock.

A couple weeks back SpastikMooss posted some trade bait that included a parallel of Pat White from Sage Hit that I didn't have. I'm also a sucker for 90's Finest cards so I asked for a Finest card of former Pens winger Markus Nasland.

They call these parallels "Make Ready."  Basically they are a black and white copy of the base card. Also, I'm a sucker for anything that features the WVU uniform.

Finest cards are awesome. I think pretty much everyone would agree. I even like the new version of the set, but the price point is pretty steep. If they would lower the cost to Stadium Club levels I think the bloggers would really hit it hard. 

I was warned that their would be a surprise in the package as well and that it wasn't cards.....

Headliners!

I was an avid sports figure collector growing up. Starting Lineups were my main cup of tea. I have hundreds in storage containers at my parents house. Every so often I would branch out to bobble heads and these Headliner figures. I think my favorite in the pic was Jagr, because it shows his glorious mullet. The Headliner figures were underrated in my opinion. The detail was very nice considering the small size. 

What a cool surprise! Thanks so much for the trade. I'll hit you back very soon.
