One package from Ebay BIN for a single card $1.99 + $4.99 shipping. Short story with this one I first posted on my regular blog (
Kirk's Knook Blog) because it was mainly ranting about ordering from Ebay without checking out the seller and where they were located. I knee-jerk bought the card without seeing where it was coming from. It was from a dealer in China. Original tracking information said it would arrive sometime between early May to early June. Fortunately it arrived and before the estimated date.

They included 3 bonus cards: Fortunately all basketball. I like surprise bonus cards when it makes sense like these same sport, but I don’t like it when you order non-sports and they send sports or vice versa, or they send different sports than what you ordered. I like all (well most) sports but some people are just one sport collectors.
2016-17 Panini Donruss Basketball: At first I thought these were special “gold” versions turns out the regular base has the gold/bronze coloring.
142 Marcin Gortat Wizards – Hey they sent the “same” team.

Saturday 29 April 2017:
From Ebay for $1.49 + $3.00 shipping. 36 cards from
1988 Donruss Leaf Baseballs Greatest Grossouts the puzzle back variants of cards :6, 10, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 24, 30, 32, 36, 40, 42, 44, 45, 47, 48, 51, 53, 54, 55, 61, 64, 68, 70, 73, 74, 77, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 86 Many if not all of them I already had at least the regular variant that has the player’s info on the back. I had some of the ones with the puzzle but I didn’t know if I had a full puzzle. I’m not even sure if I have a full set of these things. When they came out I had bought a ton of packs of the things. I have never done a full inventory of them to see if I have a full set, and to check on the variants. I know of at least two variants these puzzle backs and the players stats backs. I forget if there is another variant or not.
That's it for the April Mail Day Catch Up. The next two posts will be for May.
