Card show weekend everyone!
I hadn’t been to a local card show in a while and I just happened to be looking around and saw that the one I like to go to was scheduled for this weekend. I found my favorite guy who has the .10, .25, .50 cent boxes of old stuff and I started digging. I got a ton of football and baseball that I hope to get out in the next several weeks.
Another great part is that I met my college kid there with some friends. They aren’t looking for sports stuff but they are into Pokemon. I think the three of them had a good time and picked up some pretty good stuff. I’m not a Pokemon guy so I don’t know for sure… but in the end, if they are happy then who cares – I am happy for them!
I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and has a great week!
The Review
Here’s what happened on the blog last week:
- Monday: Chris Kunitz
- Tuesday: Gary Peters, Mark Wasinger
- Wednesday: Dave Krieg
- Thursday: Jake McGee
- Friday: Ralf Mojsiejenko
- Saturday: Joe Johnson
- Sunday: Eric Valent
No theme for the #twofortuesday last week. I’ve been a little short on themes lately because nothing has been coming up in the back log.
The Preview
Here’s what I have coming up for this week:
- Monday: Stevens not Steven’s…
- Tuesday: So Farr away…
- Tuesday: Look who’s Komminsk for dinner…
- Wednesday: Miked up…
- Thursday: Sweet Luis…
- Friday: Ahoy Hoiles…
- Saturday: Hammond cheese…
- Sunday: Steven is my name…
Again there’s no #twofortuesday theme this week. Still just getting back through the backlog.
Other Notes
This was an OK week of returns, not a great week like the week prior, but at least a week that keeps pace with the number of cards I sent out. I got back 17 returns and 15 of them were successful. The failures were from Winston Garland and Domingo Jean. I thought I had the right address for Domingo and I might try him again. Others have been getting successes so not sure what I did wrong.
I didn’t have any stragglers this week but I did get back two paid returns. Gerry Arrigo was just a $1 and then Cecil Fielder was $5 per card.
The Recent TTM Success page will be updated next weekend.
Have a great week!
