Steve Bartkowski and Bob Horner Sketch Cards

I've found unique sketch cards on eBay before and will do searches from time to time for players I collect.  Some folks aren't big fans of these but they do offer unique offerings of players who we don't see that much on cardboard anymore.  This was the first time seeing cards from this eBay seller (teambrinkz).  Steve Bartkowski is my all-time favorite football player and this is a pretty good looking card showing off that great Falcons uni.  I do wish the background was a different color or darker. The light blue isn't that great with the Falcons' red, white and black color scheme.  The card stock is thin but the quality is good.  Each of these were numbered 1/25.  I'm definitely happy with this card.
  Bob Horner is my all-time favorite baseball player so here we go.  The blue background works with these Atlanta Braves unis.  My only beef would be that in this shot it looks as though he had just swung through a pitch as opposed to actually hitting the ball.  Horner struck out a lot in his career so that may be exactly what happened here.  It's all good.  I like this card.  Just wanted to share these as we kick off the new year.

Mail Day: From Chris at The Collector

Chris from The Collector blog sent me a surprise card and boy was it fun.  I've been eyeballing this card for some time.  Like I told him I can't tell you how many times I've looked at this card lately wanting to pick it up but just didn't pull the trigger.  Chris thought of me when he saw this on COMC and I love it.  Steve Bartkowski is a top 3 all-time favorite of mine.  This Fabric of the Game relic is from Panini's 2011 Certified Football set.  It is numbered /49.  He threw in a 2019 Score All-Hands Team Julio Jones for good measure.  Big thank you to Chris.  This made my day.
