Starting things off were some Seattle Mariners cards from what believe to be one of the stadium giveaway card sets. The cards above are just a small sampling of the cards I got from a couple different years of these. At ten cents, or 15 for a dollar I wasn't paying attention to the deal. Sadly it cost me as I should have just cleaned all of these out, and then seen what I could do about finishing them eventually.
Second up came the players I collect cards. Gray, and Blackmon aren't currently on the list of players I collect, but odds are they will be in the near future. During guys weekend in Seattle, Gray took pictures not with just myself, but a few others as well. He seems like a classy guy that made a fan out of this cat.
Arenado, and Trout are mainstays on the player collecting that I don't see going anywhere soon. The Ian Happ cards were just something I saw, and as a fan of the Bearcats just ended up buying. Ironically Happ played for the Emeralds last summer. and I knew this, but didn't think about it when buying the cards.
From there the set needs got some loving as well. Much like all the player cards above these were all bought for either ten cents, or a shiny nickel each. Hitting some Authentix was possibly my favorite find of all the cards on this post. The 2004 Studio Stars is something I need to get a list together for in the near future.
Overall it was a great show, and was fun to run into Rod from Padrographs who I hadn't seen since our first meeting. We talked for a minute as he was on another mission. The above cards weren't the total extent of the purchases from this cat. Next up will be some fun cards that I was so pumped to find.
I like Authentix too.
ReplyDeleteThe Authentix set was very odd. I remember stocking up on the parallels from that set for pennies on the dollar because everyone was autograph crazy.
ReplyDeleteThose Mariner cards leading off the post look like cards from the Mothers Cookies set
ReplyDeleteMother's is the sponsor on the back of them. I believe they were a stadium giveaway because they match a set from a later year that I bought, and that set was also like the ones above. I was confused about whether they were like the Ryan cookies set, or what until I thought back to the set I already own. They might be a cookies giveaway, and the previous set in the collection has thrown me off.
