Some Custom Mail from Cam!

Hey guys, Drew back here. Nothing like being sick on the first day of school. It's like making a kill joy even more of a kill joy, so you can imagine how excited and happy I am right now. Anyways, my good buddy Cam, of Collectable Cards, hooked me up recently with an awesome looking card. Check it out:

Yep, Cam made me a custom card of one of my favorite Yankees, Robinson Cano! It's very tough to afford Cano's cards now that he can be considered the best hitter on one of the biggest offensive teams in baseball, but there's still one way to add new Cano cards, and that is in custom cards! This one definitely has a unique look to it, one that I haven't seen used before, but I like it! I would definitely like to see more of the set, the new set Cam is working on, because I think he has some good talent with customs and I'm really happy he chose me to send his first one to. 

So, thank you so much Cam, I really appreciate this!

See Ya!

Autos, Autos and More Autos!

Hey guys, Drew back here. After a long day of family parties and stuff, time to settle down. I've gotten a ton of autographs the past few days in the mail, plus a few other small things. So.. without further adieu, let's get started!

First, I got this card in a deal with Blowout Cards Forum member sportscards1013. It's an on card auto of Javier Vazquez from 2005 Cracker Jack. Javier has had an up and down year, but this guy offered it to me so eventually he got me to take it off his hands. It's a small card, about the size of a 2007 Goudey card. Javier's auto is very nice, and it's a pretty nice card I must say! Thanks!

Jim of Sixty Feet Six Inches and I swapped Allen & Ginter autos, him getting my Max Scherzer auto and me getting this Chris Young auto. I kinda figured, they both sell for the same relative price, and Young was an All Star this year, so I gave up Max Scherzer. I may trade this card for another auto in that set I may prefer, but for now I'll hold on to it.

Also, Jim included this card of Joba from Allen & Ginter for my set. Thanks Jim!

Cam from Collectable Cards asked me about the Hunter Pence black bordered parallel from my 08 Masterpieces break, and I took these 3 inserts in exchange for it. I needed all 3 of these, pretty sure the Teixeira is only a retail rack pack thing, and the Jeter is an insert from 2008 Spectrum. The A-Rod is an X Ponential 2 insert from 2008 UD X, which actually had very nice inserts. Thanks Cam!

These next 2 I bought on eBay. This one is a 2007 UD Black Nick Swisher Prodicious Auto /75. I got it for about $10 shipped, which seems to be a typical price now for most Swisher autos. I like the card, it has a nice shine, and it's the first UD Black card I own. But one small problem, the card is showing some wear, with a bunch of black dots all over the place. Looks like the shiny part is getting wrecked up. Anybody else have this problem? It's a nice card nonetheless, and it's my 6th Swisher auto I own.

This one was a must have when I saw it. I got this for about $22, a 2009 Topps Tribute Prince Fielder dual jersey auto /50. I've been a big fan of the Fielders ever since I met Prince's papa Cecil at the White Plains show almost a year ago. I drafted Prince with the 7th pick in the 1st round in my league with school friends. He's a heck of a hitter, and one day, I would love to see him make a quick appearance as a Yankee. As for the card, it's really nice, but it doesn't have the crazy shine that the blue, and regular cards from this set have. It's very nice, 2 pinstripes, numbered only 3/50, and he has a decent auto. Overall, I'm happy with the 2 purchases.

Thanks again to everyone involved in the makings of this post, and See Ya!

Catching Up! Some Mail

Hey guys, Drew back here, with some new stuff for ya. As I hope you noticed, we have an all new arrangement on this here blog. I tried to make it different, because it was time for a new design. So, I had a GREAT time in Washington DC, it was an amazing trip, and now I have some mail to share with ya. First up is some stuff from Jonathan of RGB Cards. Jonathan is from Australia, and he's the first person I've traded with from Australia! Here are the cards that made the journey over the Atlantic Ocean...

First are some cards I needed from 2010 Heritage. This set has dragged on and is getting kinda boring. But the Jeter insert is nice!

Here are 5 Peak Performances that I needed for the set, and 1 Yo Mama Card. I like these, but I gotta finish them now. Check out the set wantlists for stuff you may have to help me!

Lastly, some 09 Heritage cards, including a cool insert of Bobby Richardson winning the World Series MVP in a losing effort. The final two are chromes numbered to 1961 from 2010 Heritage of Jeter and Granderson. The Granderson is a monster but the Jeter is great looking! Thanks Jonathan!

These next cards are from Cam H, of Collectable Cards. He hooked me up with some Yankees in a trade, and here is my share. I got some cool Sheffields, which is good because he used to be my favorite player when he was a Yankee. Next are more former Yankees in Damon and Abreu, two other faves of mine. I like the Mr. Baseball Reggie Jackson card, how awesome! It really should be Mr. October though.

Finally, a nice Phil Hughes (now 9-1) rookie card, followed by some 2010 Upper Decks of Burnett and Posada (2 grand slam games in a row). The X Ponential inserts are awesome from 08, and the Matsui and a Abreu which wasn't scanned look spectacular. Lastly, a needed Swish and a Dave Parker card!

Thanks so much both of you, Cam, your cards will be packed out soon, I promise! See Ya!

COMMENT AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THE DESIGN!!!!
