Mail Day Mike's Sports Card Mail Days

[Mike]

Got a few packages in today. The first was from @Cool_Hand_Flash as part of the Pay it Forward.

That package had 4 boxes of spunk (the good ones, not the black ones). There were also these 2 cards in there.

Tony Parker - This one actually used to be mine but I stupidly sent it off in a chain package one time. Mark grabbed it and now he's decided to send it back. Thanks, Mark!

Tony Romo

The next package was my group break haul from @Batman1641's football break. I think the Terrance Williams was a freebie from him because I don't remember seeing it in the break. Either way, thanks for the package Mike!

Terrance Williams /99

Uhm.. that reads terribly terribly wrong Mike lol and no problem the Romo was from Bats once actually, and like you said the TP was from the Take a Card, Leave a Card thing.. so..

And I dont remember that T-Will either! Sweet

 

[Batman1641]

Yes it was. And Williams I threw in cuz I knew you would want it

 

[Mike]

Indeed! Thanks again, Mike!

Here are a few cards I picked up in a drawing. I didn't get the grand prize, but this was for 2nd place.

Here's a card I got in the mail today.

Very nice

Got another card in today. This one is an eBay buy. It's actually my first graded Vince Carter rookie, and it is a beauty! The scan doesn't do it justice. I desperately need a scanner that will scan encased cards better.

9.5 not bad for an 98-99 card

9.5 not bad for an 98-99 card

Yeah, that's what I thought. What's more impressive is the fact that it wasn't graded until January of this year (January 27, 2014). That means someone took dang good care of this card for about 15 years before it was graded.

I picked this one up in a random drawing. Got it for $15, delivered. The numbering is high, but it's from 1996 and it's Barry Sanders so who cares!

The scratch at the bottom is from the scanner or the sleeve. It's not on the card.

Barry Sanders /2900

Was still an expensive product for its day, I remember buying packs one at a time until hitting an auto. Condition sensitive set too, ink looks pretty good on it.

 

[Cool_Hand_Flash]

Jeeeez a Barry for $15?!?!?! Awesome!!

This isn't a biggie, but it is the first non-Tony Parker autograph that I actually traded for, as far as I can remember. I had a card another guy needed for his PC, on another site unfortunately, but I wanted to help him out anyways. He didn't have any cards that I needed for my PC, so I just browsed around looking for something that I thought was "neat". This is definitely not the "neat"est card I found, but seeing as how I'm close to OKC and am slightly fond of their team (until they're playing the Spurs, that is), I decided to go with this one.

Here is what I got:

2012-13 Limited Masterful Marks Serge Ibaka Autograph 159/199

I would like to point out the fact that his autograph is absolutely horrible, but what do you do.
