Mail - February 2014

Hi there,

Here's my Feb pick ups

1998 Donruss Crusade Green Todd Greene

2013 America's Pasttime Gold Kevin Mitchell

2013 Topps Supreme Orange Auto and Stylings Red Auto
- seriously Topps, 8 different levels of autos for each of the card and then 4 plates for an Asian market only product? (It'll get worse in March mail when Topps Tribute comes out. A hearty EFF YOU to Topps)

and for my Canadian RC collection

2014 Topps James Paxton

and 2014 Topps Jim Adduci [Base / Blue (Walmart) / Gold / Purple (TRU) / Red (Target) / Red Hot]
- I'm chasing him as a Canadian RC, but I'm also going to chase his rookie year stuff as well as he is the first MLB player from Burnaby, BC. [I don't think he considers himself a Canadian like Walker/Morneau/etc consider themselves - but he was born here when his dad was playing for the then Triple A Vancouver Canadians]

Thanks!

Kevin

Hey folks,

Here's October mail

Finally got the base "T" version of this

which finishes the un #'d version of this - I had finished the #/20 version in August - now continue work on the #/5 (and #/1) version.

And a few cards for various collections - here's a 2014 Bowman Chrome James Paxton for my Canadian rookie collection

A 2014 Round Rock Express Scott Richmond for my Scott Richmond PC

and lastly, for my Jim Adduci PC - here's the 2014 Topps Mini Pink /25. I still need the "easier" Gold /63 version, the Black /5 version and the 1/1s.

Here's my November BB pick ups

Joe Carter 2002 Topps Tribute Memorable Moments

2014 Topps Allen and Ginter Tanner Foust Memorabilia
- I'm a huge fan of Top Gear UK, and I started watching the recent season of Top Gear US after saying it was crap in season 1. I've started to come around and starting enjoying Top Gear US (season 4-5, earlier was garbage), so I thought I'd grab a few Tanner Foust cards from A&G.

Thanks,

Kevin
