I've done a lot of emailing and chatting with Judson from My Cardboard Habit recently. He recently finished up his Gypsy Queen set for 2013 and he decided to celebrate by giving away a bunch of the hits he acquired while doing so. I was a late entry to the contest but I also made a post on my blog about it and ended up scoring a bunch of extra entries. I appreciate everybody saying that they heard about the contest through my blog. Hopefully each of you followed Judson's blog since he does have a knack for writing interesting posts.
So on to my prize package. I was not expecting the huge bounty he sent me. I knew I'd get some hits but definitely not 7!
First up are the autographs. I think my favorite is the Wally Joyner. There aren't many cards being produced these days.I got 2 full sized relic cards too. I really dig the orange swatch on the Matt Cain card and the white swatch on the Uggla makes it look like theres a hole in the card.
I like mini relics but I've never understood why Topps couldn't make the card inside as big as the frame. I just don't like them sliding around. I just noticed how I scanned these cards. It actually looks like Nolasco is pitching to Brian McCann!
Since I pimped his contest, I also wanted to pimp his Group Break he's got going on. He's breaking some 2013 Allen & Ginter. Hurry on over and claim your spot!
Thanks for the awesome prize pack Judson!
That Joyner looks awesome! The idea of framing a mini card so that it's the same size as a regular card seems a little strange to me, but they still manage to look pretty slick. Diggin' the black frames.

ReplyDeleteRyan, I like your blog header. AL Champs in 4 out of 6 years 1966-71! If only Jim Palmer hadn't lost those 2 seasons to injury.
