Another PWE arrives across the pond !!

Another white envelop dropped on my doorstep, another PWE, another one from Jeff at 2 by 3 Heroes !! Jeff send me some great cards again for my PCs, here they are !!

First up a dutchman, a flying dutchman, Bert Blyleven !!

One more Blyleven and a Glavine !! Any package with a new Glavine card is a great one !!

Lastly, my favourite Yankee, Mariano Rivera !!

Another awesome PWE, thanks very much Jeff !!

Topps Delivers again !!

I have heard plenty of horror stories about Topps Redemption program and I am no fan either (hate to wait, even have a redemption today that is not yet in the Topps System....). However, to date Topps has always delivered, usually after 6 months or so..maybe I am just lucky !

A few months back a few 2013 Museum Collection redemptions were on eBay, a few of my favourite dutch MLB player, Bert Blyleven !! As Topps might have scared away people from buying redemptions (or Bert Blyleven is not the most popuylar guy) I was able to get my hand on not one but two framed redemtpions, one silver, one black. I love these cards, realy beautiful with the steel frame around it. Here they are !!

I still have a bunch of outstanding redemptions so hopefully Topps continues to deliver in the future as well !!

Some Dutch Ginter !!

I love Allen & Ginter and having a Dutch star in the set doesn't happen every day (ignoring Bert Blyleven for a moment of course). A Dutch Soccer player is even more awesome !! It's Robin van Persie, top scorer of the Premier League en striker of the Dutch Soccer team. I don't have the autographed mini yet (still way too expensive at the moment but coming down rapidly) but I did find myself a cool mini !! Meet Robin's numbered red back mini !!!

I hope Topps will include some more soccer superstars in next year's Allen & Ginter !!

Silk Additions !!

I think these Silk cards are cool, mainly because they are different and they look nice in a frame. At the same time they are hard to find, in particular the Allen & Ginter ones as they are often only numbered to 10. In recent months I was able to pick-up two, so very lucky here ! Meet Kershaw and Rizzo !!

I am always on the look out for more Silk so let me know if you have any to trade !! Thanks for visiting my blog today !!

Rizzo & Castro !

I love the Gypsy Queen set and about 6 months ago I started collecting Rizzo. One cool card I have been eyeing since then. I have watched it come down from $150 to $125 to $115 to $95, partly helped by the fall off in Rizzo's momentum in recent months. When a version appeared recently I took the opportunity and grabbed it. I still paid slightly over $70 for it so clearly not cheap but I think it's worth it !! Meet my latest addition to the Rizzo PC, a dual auto, dual relic card, numbered to only 25 !!

Trade at the Plate !!

A few weeks back I was able to "dump" a lot of my Ranger cards with Brian at Play at the Plate. Last week I received a cool return package ! Let's jump to the cards right away !!

First-up, 2 of my favourite pitchers, Lincecum and Kershaw !!

I also still need a bunch of Allen & Ginter cards so these insert cards, curious cases, were very welcome !! do check out my Want List for my other A&G needs, still need a bunch !

As a guy from Europe it is also very hard to get my hands on any of the coloured variations that are being sold exclusively at Toys 'R US, Target, Wallmart or any of the others ones out there. Therefore, the following cards are awesome !!

Bowman Platinum are also great cards, here's Verlander and Lincecum !

My favourite Yankee, Rivera was also present, even one with a Relic !!

Lastly, some more cool cards, Brian also included a buncyh of 96 Fleer and a few cool Topps Finest, Intimidators !!

All in all a very cool package so thanks very much Brian, looking forward to our next trade !!
