Horseshoes and Archery
Well today I busted open a few boxes of the 2010 Allen & Ginter cards. I really like these cards as I mentioned. That was the first time that i had been able to open packs of cards in a long while. I forgot how fun it was. All together I got about 100 cards in the two boxes. I didn't hit anything big, but it was still fun. I did however get a few cards that I think I am going to try and get signed. These aren't normal sport starts but other stars in obscure sports or famous for other reasons. Below are a few scans of the people I am going to be sending too. Probably in the near future.
Francis is a Horseshoe champion and Sig Hansen is the captain from the show Deadliest CatchFlorine is the free climb champion and Oitker is an archery champion.
I also made a few purchases because they were dirt cheap. I purchased a 1990-1991 Topps hockey set and a 91-91 American Score Hockey set. I wouldn't officially say I am working on either of these sets but more just looking to get some more Hockey autographs through the mail. Who knows what will happen.
2001 Fleer Greats of the Game:
Right now I am very focused on this set. I am hoping I continue to make progress. I am hoping by the end of this calendar year to have over half done. I have been doing good at picking up some of the tougher ones. I will keep updating the progress on here as I continue to get more back.
Author Note:
Today as I opened up my packs of cards I felt like a little kid. Although the cards that I received were only were a few cents a piece it felt great. If you have a child or know a kid who enjoys baseball, hockey, or football go to your walmart, kmart or wherever you can find some buy them a two dollar pack of cards and make their day. I am not saying send them for autographs but more just let your kids enjoy leaning about the sport. Thats enough being sappy, but I feel like us adults get all caught up in finding a great card in a pack, and we lose focus on the fun we used to have as kids opening up packs and thinking it was awesome to get a Ken Griffey Card.
Good Night all.....
