Mail from some Sewing Machine Guy

Hey guys, Drew back here. I got 2 MORE packages today, which actually runs the total to 12 not 13. Wow, what a crazy week here at drewscards. Thank you to everyone that sent out stuff to me. In the midst of catching up, here a bunch of cards from Larry the Sewing Machine guy. He's had some 08 Goudey shortprints for me for a while and he asked me if I wanted any of the 2010 Topps cards I needed, which I did. Here is what he sent:

Here are 8 of the 17 2010 Topps cards he sent me, all of them very much needed, so thanks for those!

Next he included the final card I needed for the base set of 2008 Goudey, not including the short prints I'm still chasing! Now I need 11 more cards for 1-230, so that's not bad! Joe Mauer sounds like he's having trouble signing, and the Yanks are probably secretly luring him in!

Speaking of those Short Prints, here are 4 of them that he sent. Winfield, Ozzie, Gaylord, and Killebrew is not a bad bunch! I love the Winfield, and how many times will we see that same picture of Ozzie on cards? We will never know....

Next he sent me a few Yankees. Needed all of them actually. Like I said yesterday, you guys are good at finding holes in my collection! We have a Bernie Upper Deck 92 card, a 93 Gold Mattingly, and a Mantle Home Run History chrome. Sweet!

The other 3 are very nice as well! I need the Cano for the PC, and it's the blue refractor from 08 Topps Chrome. The Joba Dick Perez sketch is sweet and the Posada is a refractor!

Thanks so much Larry, I really appreciate it. Your cards are going out next week! And everyone, please check out his blog, it's a very cool one, and it's not about sewing in any way shape or form! See Ya!

WANTED- 2008 GOUDEY SHORT PRINTS

Hey guys, Drew back here. If any of you guys have some Goudey base card short prints (cards 201-230 in the set) from last year, please contact me at yanks1996wsc@gmail.com

Thanks, Drew

Nice little pack recap!

Hey guys, Drew back here, after taking a trip to a local mall today, I found some packs at a sports store and got a nice card! I'm giving you a little more time on yesterday's question, you gotta still get the last player!

So I found a binder full of some random inserts and such, most from one of my sets I need to complete, 2008 UD Goudey. I found 5 cards, and I didn't notice I already had one (the Tony Perez card, FT) but the other 4 I needed for the set (30- Youk, 32-Billy Williams, 145- Ashburn, 162- Cepeda). So they are crossed off now. If you want to see what I need from that set, check out this link.

I am a stupid kid at times. I have not had any luck with this next set all year, except earlier when I pulled a nice Victor Martinez patch (Red Sox-Jo!). Today I bought 2 packs of the aftermath of one of my favorite sets, A Piece of History, here's the recap:

Pack 2 (non hit pack, I bought it after I pulled the nice card, this isn't as sweet)
-Brandon Webb (the 1st card in the set)
-Carlos Zambrano (a fat dude that likes to knock over water coolers)
-Hanley Ramirez/Dan Uggla/Hermida Franchise Members 3 Blue #ed/999

-20th Anniversary Kentucky beats Syracuse (I have so many stinkin Kentucky Wildcats 20th anniversary cards!)
-Josh Geer RC (He looks 40 already)
-Historical Moment Elevator Invented (I wish I had an elevator in my house, I'd go up and down all day!)
-Luis Cruz RC (scrub)

The Good Pack
-Jake Peavy (Why is he in the American league?)
-Alex Rodriguez (NICE, I need it. You don't)
-Ian Kinsler (NICE, you need it. I don't)
-Historical Moments Discovery of New York (A pizza guy named Giovanni found it)
-Travis Snider RC (Slowly and steadily I end up with one of all his cards!)
-Historical Moments Pearl Harbor (Yawn, I feel like I'm in Social Studies)

And the big mojo hit of the day:

2009 UD Piece of History Michael Bowden 15/25 Rookie Auto!

Yeah more Red Sox-Jo! I could always use a card of the next Yankee killer! Seriously though this is a pretty nice pull, very low numbered, and it books from $25-30 bucks (I'm assuming). Thanks for reading, and vote on that poll! See Ya!

I'm gonna say MOJO a lot in this post

MOJO MOJO MOJO MOJO MOJO MOJO MOJO MOJO MOJO

There, that feels good but won't be the last time I say it in this post. First, I want to say that the new Harry Potter movie, "Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince", was awesome, and if you're a fan of that stuff, go see it. It had a sad ending but the rest of the movie was really good. I have seen all the movies so far, and the only one I read was the 2nd book. In case you didn't know, there are 7 books in the series, and will be 7 movies. This movie was the 6th and the final one should be coming out maybe late next year. So yeah, just wanted to tell you guys that and let's move on.

Next, I want to thank Jay from the Mojo Hand so much for hooking me up with 150 cards from the 2008 UD Goudey set. I won his contest and received the cards today! Everything was packaged well and was in great condition. I also won the bonus contest for this and received this card:

2008 UD Goudey Hunter Pence Jersey Card!

Some other great cards included were:


3 Hit Parade of Champions Minis


10 Sport Royalty Inserts


2 Base Card Short Prints


5 President Inserts


2 President Minis


7 Mini Cards (6 red backs including Sport Royalty, Victorino Blue Back)


And A TON of base!

So thanks Mojo for sending Drew Collector some stuff! I greatly appreciate it, and you guys, if you haven't checked out his blog, please do. In a couple days I will post a wantlist for 2008 Goudey, because since I have quite a bit now, I want to finish it off. So, wish me luck with my packs, I need it!

Lastly, let's go AL! We have won since 1996 if you have been living under a rock and didn't know, and my Yanks did pretty well. Jeter got hit by pitch and seems to be OK, and scored 2 runs, and Teixeira got on base. Mariano Rivera picked up his 4th All Star Game save, the most all time in the All Star Game. What a catch by Crawford also! I watched until the bottom of the 8th, and it wasn't all that interesting of a game, but that play helped things out. 4-3 American League Wins, Crawford is MVP.

And Pedro. The newest member of the 15 Day DL! and the phillies

Weird???

Funny how both of these legends have almost the exact same stance. Even funnier that Upper Deck decided to use them both!

09 Goudey & 09 Bowman

Hey guys, Drew back here after a post on my other blog and a trip to my hobby shop last Saturday! But 1st, I'm a happy man over here in New York, as the Yankees have won 7 in a row and A-Rod & Tex both hit home runs in 4 straight games! So, I went to the shop with Joemama, and I got some supplies, including one 4 row box to store cards and a binder to store with as well. The box is going to be for Yankees cards, and I'm surprised on how many I have!

So, I also picked up 1 random lot, and 1 Yankees mixed lot, and a trip to my vendor got me 75 cents worth of old Yankee farts. I also got the new Beckett magazine, the 1st one I've gotten since 2006! With help from Joemama, I also picked up 4 packs of the new Goudey & 4 packs of the new Bowman! So, here's the recap. By the way, with the recaps, I posted a poll to keep them or not. I don't know if you like them or not, but, here we go:
