Changed pace a little. Picked up my old favorite 1983 topps set. Had 700+ autos when I unloaded it in 1988. (Only kept Eric Show because of long inscription.) Anyway, was tired of horrible % return for current players.
Successes
Aaron Nola ( was addressing envelope when he got bumped up. Put new address.) 9 days 3/3 1 2014 bowman draft, 2 bowman draft w/ (damn, forgot name..a combo..nick howard?
Ryan Doumit 2/2 2013 topps heritage (2) 18 days...used home addresson SCN
Dave Kingman 2/3 1983 topps and 1983 topps super vet, didn't sign hr king 9 days! used p.o. box addy on SCN
Wade Boggs 1/1 1983 topps rookie (little streaky, but legible and cool....31 years since I last got that card signed....8 days added $5 for hospital..addy in Tampa
Failure: Phil Niekro----sent 3 1983 topps cards, no cash, got form note with punctuation errors and an amazing price list. Can't afford $20 a pop. Wondered if I corrected note and sent back with cards if it'd be worth it. Didn't do it as of yet.
Heading to Cincy for All Star weekend. The fact that missus has family up there is bonus. Will definitely be at Futures Game with Shane and others. Game itself, too expensive...hope to buy way into workout.
