Secret Santa was really good to me this year. Jared at the blog Cards My Mom Didn't Throw Out did me right. Thank you so much Jared. It starts with this Bob Horner auto - 2019 Donruss Optic Significant Signatures. Great card and as I told Jared I've made it a goal to complete my Horner collection as best I can in 2020 so this is a wonderful start. Thanks to Jon at A Penny Sleeve for your Thoughts blog for once again running the Secret Santa gift exchange this year.
He also nailed it with 82 Atlanta Braves cards that are great for the collection. They hit on so many personal favorites and were needs. Many are some I've never seen which is always fun. These three are all PC guys and Braves greats.
Some old school Braves greats were included as well. I love these guys and I have so few old school Burdette and Niekro cards.
That's a sweet Albies card and Freddie is such a stud. Is that a cool looking Klesko or what? I'm digging it.
There were also some PC guys to include these three guys. Baines makes that White Sox uni look good.
There were also 72 Red Sox cards and all great players. It was star after star BoSox player here. And that Clemons photo seems fitting for some reason. He really isn't the big baddy we all make him out to be but there was definitely an attitude there. That Pedro and Kimbrel are cool cards for me as well just because of the photos.
And there were plenty of shiny cards as well! Again big thank you to Jared. Go check out his blog for plenty of Diamondbacks love as well as other cool card posts. I hope Secret Santa was just as good to everyone else who participated this year.
Merry Christmas!
Pedey! I'm partial to the Sox cards but Jared picked some great Braves for you as well. The Niekro and Burdette are fantastic, and the Horner is sharp! I actually bought a box of Aficionado that one year. Very distinctive set.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Roy!
Definitely did me well. Makes for a great Christmas! Merry Christmas Chris!
DeleteI'd say that you did pretty well here, so kudos to Jared for that! I really like the variety of sets that you got cards from, the vintage stuff being especially cool. It's too to see that Bob Horner is still being included in some modern sets, hopefully there's not too many crazy-rare parallels for you to chase though.
ReplyDeleteThere really is a great variety of cards and sets. I'll check out the Horner checklist soon and so I can get started in the new year. Hopefully it isn't too crazy.
DeleteMerry Christmas! Don't think I've ever seen that ABC jersey that Glavine is sporting on that 1999 Opening Day card.
ReplyDeleteSame here so it was a really cool inclusion. Love the little oddball uni cards.
DeleteMerry Christmas! Glad you like the cards.
