If America is first, let the Netherlands be second !!!

Usually I don't get involved in politics on my blogs but there were of course some big changes in the US political landscape in recent months. As a result, it seems it's now all about "America First"...and in that case of course, we want to be 2nd !!

Thanks for visiting my blog and as every post deserves a card, here's one of my latest Rizzo additions from 2016 Triple Threads.

Supersized Glavine & Die-Cut Rizzo

Hi everyone, quick post today with a few of my new additions. First up a cool die-cut Anthony Rizzo card that appeared on eBay a few months ago. I haven't checked yet from which set this one is coming from, might be Topps Update.

I was also able to pick up two larger size Glavine cards. Apparently, Topps sells these directly into the market and these are not from packs. They have variations numbered to 49 and to 10. The ones below are the the ones numbered to 49.

Not sure what to think about these. They look pretty cool given they are a much larger size, so something different. At the same time it feels a bit like another avenue for Topps to get my money and I now see them popping up constantly for most sets, which feels a bit like overkill again. But hey, as a Glavine supercollector what can I do :-)

What do you guys think about these ?

Happy New Year !!

Happy New Year everyone !!! Yes, a few days late but as you might have figured I am still swamped with a lot of other stuff, hence my lack of posting in the last few months. Just wanted you all to know I am still here, alive and kicking, and more importantly, collecting !!

My Glavine collection has been steadily growing, as has my Blyleven collection. Kershaw is still on the way out (but still plenty for sale / trade so see my Kershaw list). I am behind with my Want list and Trade Bait as I still need to add my 2016 Gypsy Queen loot as well as 2016 Series 1& 2 and my Allen & Ginter needs. Hopefully I will have some time in the coming weeks to get up to speed on this one !!

Hope you are all still going strong ! Rest assure (in case you were worried, of course) that I am still following your blogs on a daily basis !!

As every posts needs some cards here are some of my latest additions ! First up a nice addition to my Glavine collection with Carlton and Zito as a bonus !

 Next up, from this year's Panin's Immaculate, here's Blyleven, together with some old stars !

Last, but certainly not least, 2 Allen & Ginter printing plates, Magenta and Yellow !!

Thanks for visiting my blog and sticking with me !! Hope to be back soon !!
