Mail Call: It is a good day to scan!

[quincy]

The geeks among you are chuckling already.

Been a nice couple of weeks of mail, sport and non-sport both.

Let's start with my favourite TV show ever:

And arguably my favourite character from that show:

We'll leave the non-sport aside for now and come back to it later.

An upgrade to my rafters set:

Which, oddly, cost me LESS than the regular version /9. Go figger. Incidentally, this does mean that the regular version from my set is now available if anyone wants it.

Some Carters:

Many thanks to Aaron/Goldenjew for this one:

A nice Iginla pickup:

(PM from Al in 5...4...3...)

The Shadowboxen have started coming in. Fifteen this week alone:

Some Sakic stuff...
Thanks Jai:

And this:

Took three tries to nail offa eBay. By that, I mean I won three different copies, two of which went AWOL.

Let's go back to the non-sport now. I'll start with a man that, like Jet Li, is a human Special Effect:

Ray Park got very short shrift as Darth Maul.

And finally, the inspiration for the title:

I like Worf. I like Jazdia Dax. Both on one card?

It is a good day to scan. Comments welcome.

great stuff! that shadow box set is gonna look sweet when it's all done. i just got my lundqvist in today and it really is much nicer in person.

Great show! Awesome Stevie Y rookie patch...just wow!

 

[Uhtred the Viking]

Steve, there was a Flames game on tonight so I just found this. A pm is definitely coming your way!! :beer:

 

[wwjd10]

Great stuff Q! Hopefully you and Al can work a deal for that Iggy. Its a beauty!

 

[enforcersonly]

Am I the only one who cant see (apart from the first one) the images?

EDIT cancel that - I can see them now. Loving the Yzerman.

 

[JohnnyDrama]

I do have to thank you, Steve. You always let me know that there is someone infinitely nerdier out there than I am.

 

[quincy]

I am not quite Omega-level, but certainly alpha-level geeky.

 

[Hejdukfan23]

Awesome stuff Steve, and congrats on finally nailing the card that took 3 times

 

[JTMcCool]

Sweet Worf/Dax auto. Thanks for sharing!

 

[wingnut888]

Nice stuff Steve, honestly though how many Babylon 5 auto's are actually out there?!?! Seems like you have a dozen in each mail post..

 

[lumm0x]

You've certainly dived into the non-sports head first with a helmet on. Nice cards sir. Some of your mail makes me happy in the pants.

 

[711ofovertime]

Excellent variety and quality Steve. Thanks for sharing. I also like the shadowbox concept.

Q u are the only one i know who is nuts about Trek like me.. I have tried to find that dual auto card for a while of Dax and Warf who are my TOP two characters ever in trek...

 

[lucky19]

Awesome Maul auto, it's almost as cool as the Sakics.

 

[bigben913]

That Worf/Dax card is awesome.

 

[quincy]

That actually reminds me:
The seller of the Worf/Dax dual auto was a total mensch. The card was originally purchased in December. At 4 weeks, I gave the seller the heads up that I hadn't seen it. At six weeks, I still hadn't seen it - the seller said "I'm out of town, but I have another copy. I'll mail it when I get back." I took him at his word. Sure enough, around 9 days later I got a copy of the card in an envelope postmarked Jan 23rd.

That guy would have gotten GLOWING feedback if I'd still been able to leave any. As it stands, he'll have to settle for an embarrassingly happy email.

Mahjkah !!!!

So Steve ,you would recommend Babylon 5. Just finishing the Stargate SG1 series and thought that was great. Looking for my next series to watch

Congrats on another fine haul. Love the Gold Horton and Iggy 1/1

Thanks for the show
