Thanks it is. I still don't like how much I had to pay for it, or the prices for any legit jersey but one spends what one must for a few luxuries. I need to find time to take a decent photo of it to post. Something that size doesn't scan

I have a bunch of May Maildays that I need to gab about here. One of the first ones was a huge brick of cards so that one I will only mention highlights of when I get around to making my "May Mail Days" post. I wanted to have done it before this past weekend (Memorial Day Weekend) but best laid plans of mice and all.

I know its been ages since I've updated. May? ACK I thought it was only since June Oh well over the weekend I wrote up a word document of what I have gotten from May through July. I'll need to divide it up into small sections. Will try to post that stuff late Monday

I have been very backed up with mail days from as early as May? UGH thought it was only from 02 June. It includes a couple of bricks (aka small box) that have just way too many cards to mention individually. Some things might not be totally accurate and I’m too lazy to check the shipping on my Sportlots orders so some I will forgo my usual listing of total shipping.

OK so on with the show:

Saturday 15 May 2016:
Pack from Tribecards Blog his Pack-A-Daily Circus Giveaway thing. It has my batch of cards from 2014 PAD and the first part of 2016 cards. Most of this giveaway thing is drafted things. For 2014 and ’15 I think it was just which players or type of random card you drafted, for this year 2016 your first drafts were a specific team and this year you get the team, then whatever your draft later in the year. It is a fun thing to watch on his blog.

Saturday 23 July 2016,
I got my winnings from a contest by Corky over at his Pack War blog. I think it was an anniversary contest. It was a simple comment and be entered for random drawings. He had 7 lots of cards or collectibles that each winner got to choose from. I was 2nd place and got to choose second. I chose the lot of 54 Ken Griffey Jr. Cards various years from his career. He added some PC stuff and there was a piece of memorabilia related to the contest that surprised me as a bonus for that lot.
Some of the Griffey Highlights:
1990 Sports Illustrated for Kids card 158 Mariners
1991 Score 841 The Griffeys Mariners
1994 Upper Deck Baseball: 224 Mariners 1 dupe plus a “For Promotional Use Only” version
Unknown year Topps Finest Mariners blank back
1998 Topps Gold Label 100 Mariners
2006 Upper Deck Baseball National Baseball Card Day UD7 Reds
2009 Upper Deck Goudey Mariners Green Back
2012 Sportkings 211 Looks to be Mariners uniform, mostly head shot painting with his signature backwards hat.
2006 Topps ETopps Baseball: 13 Reds in label sealed case 884/999
Plus surprise bonus memorabilia 1996 BP Limited Edition Baseball has Picture of him batting Mariners Uniform on ball and says “Ken Griffey, Jr.” has a faux signature “jr” and says “Junior” Opened box so ball rolls around loose, missing certificate of authenticity advertised on box and missing part of or all of stand, there is just a plastic hook thing with some string cord around it. I guess that was the stand? Don’t know don’t really care. The Ball will eventually find its way to a Jr. Collector anyway.

Bonus PC cards were Basketball and Football:
8 Basketball Bullets and Wizards highlight cards include an Upper Deck Caron Butler GU blue card and a Panini Threads Jersey die-cut card Kirk Hinrich
11 Football Cards Redskins and Rams. Highlights: Panini Mardy Gilyard Rmas GU white #217/299, Flimsy acetate Edge 1994 Excaliber Jerome Bettis Rams back blank/grayed/whiteouted back. 2014 Topps Valor Courage John Riggins Redskins #384/399

Magazines:
16 May 2016: Wow what why May? Guess I didn’t record this one The Wrapper #299 May 15 – July 7, 2016 Man From U.N.C.L.E. on cover. Need to finish that up have list on master want list on my blog.

?? June ??
UGH didn’t note when I got it: Non Sport Update from subscription Vol 27 No. 3 June – July 2016 (#2 alternate cover of 2) Peter Capaldi as Doctor Who on cover. Still have it in wrapper 3 free cards according to cover are: Ghostbusters, Game of Thrones Season 5 (that will go to traders with the other GOT promos I have) and one of six different Batman Classic TV Series Promo Cards.

Saturday 09 July 2016:
The Wrapper #300 July 7 – Aug 28, 2016 “What A Blast Getting To 300” Mars Attacks card #19 and not sure what other card is from looks like something from Horrors of War maybe has Death standing with some soldiers.

Friday 29 July 2016:
Non Sport Update Vol. 27 No. 4 Star Trek Cover. Again haven’t unwrapped it yet so I don’t know the exact cards but this one only came with 2 again according to the cover: Gotham Season 1 and Star Trek: The Next Generation Portfolio Prints Series Two.

Phew! Caught up for now.

ON Saturday 06 August 2016 I received cards from a trade. For good or ill I made a trade on TCZ (The Zone) for a bunch of Rams cards with some bonus Ravens and Capitals. I received 150-160 some cards total. Includes some of the mini sized stickers. My trade partner gets at least the same amount of cards 160 (technically I loaded a bunch more) Packers, Steelers, Cowboys, Red Sox, Phillies, Yankees, Marlins, Pirates and some D-Backs.

Most of the cards look to be from the last 5 years give or take. There are a few older Pro Set cards I already had but still fun. A few duplicates and triplicates or more. Cards: 70 Rams (1 draft card), 66 Ravens (2 cards of Rookies/Draft guys), 1 Orioles card 1993 Bowman, 7 Capitals cards 1990-91 Score.
Stickers: 8 Rams, 9 Ravens, 1 Cowboy? Even the stickers had a few dupes.

Highlights: I guess would be the Caps cards, then for the Football cards:

2015 Sage Hit Football:
SPOTLIGHT: 93 Garrett Grayson Colorado State Rams (Saints)
I'm not a huge fan of Sage Hit since it is mostly prospects that never made the pros. I usually try to avoid it, but I like the look of this card. I'm glad it was sent, even though the Rams helmet Grayson is wearing is his Colorado State Rams helmet/uniform not the then St. Louis Rams now LA Rams (YES I'm glad they returned to LA) as the trader thought it was.

On Monday 29 Aug 2016 I got a stuffed PWE with 28 cards total from SuperTrader Bret Cooper Nationals Collector. He sent some Redskins along with the Os that are contractually my team under this ragtag group of rebel baseball blog traders The cards range from 2010-2015 (Baseball) and 1978-2014 (Football)

I'm preparing another catch-up post of my Sept and Oct mail days. There are a bunch of days and a bunch of huge packages. For some foolish reason I've decided to list all cards individually even the very large packages and boxes. I spent a good part of Sunday doing most of the organizing/inventorying prep work. I just have two more packages to inventory one was from early Sept. the other was a box. So I'll flood this thread in another few days.

OK so I am finally ready to release the Kraken that is the flood of my backed up mail days from September and October. In total there are 7 Catch Up posts including this first one:

Time once again to list a massive backlog of mail days from the last month or so. Here we go:

Friday 02 September 2016:
Magazine from subscription: The Wrapper #301 Aug 28 – Oct 19 T.V. and Radio Stars of NBC Bowman 1953 cover story.

Tuesday 06 September 2016:
A package (actually 2 packages) from SCF Football Team Traders Hobbyfan the Jets and Giants guy. He sent a bunch of my Redskins, Rams and even some Expos. Most of the cards are in alphabetical order in 9 pocket pages 26 pages total the last page has a couple of pockets double filled. Plus 20-25 cards in top loaders the toploaded cards were in a small flat rate box, the pages were in a priority mail document sized cardboard mailer. The mailer was a little damaged an slightly open when I had received it from post office use. Fortunately no major damage, but some corners I just now noticed are slightly bent. Could also be from where I have had the pages sitting for the last month and a half. Over 200 cards total. So Um NO I won’t do this one I saved this one and the box for last and am real tired of working on this update.

Tuesday 13 September 2016:

Thursday 29 September 2016:
A PWE of 9 mostly A&G minis from blogger John Miller “Johnny’s Trading Spot”. Long story short: He blogged about a set he had completed, but there were a couple of cards he wanted for PC collections. I had dupes of the cards he wanted so I sent them. I guess he sent these minis as sort of a payback. I think they might have been intended for one of the bloggers that is trying to complete some of the mini-sets.

Mail Day Catch Up Sept/Oct 2016 Post 2:
Tuesday 04 October 2016:
Package from Shawn sasports at TCC and TCZ along with refund from a failed group box break. 5 cards total. The box break I think was supposed to be baseball, but sadly no baseball, but a few homie hockey players.
2008-09 Upper Deck SPX Hockey: Xitement: X46 Nicklas Backstrom Capitals
2011-12 Panini Zenith Hockey: 188 Marcus Johansson Capitals 134/199
2016 Panini Contenders Draft Picks: Autograph: 290 Carl Kassib Pennsylvania State (Browns) blue sharpie on sticker auto.
1933 Goudey Indian Gum 65 Mrs. Merrill
1938 W.A.&A.C. Churchman Cigarettes Boxing Personalities 42 Jack Hart. Has paper loss on front bottom right. Not sure if this is an original or a 1990 reprint. The corners are pretty good for being an original slightly rounded but still sort of squarish. The paper loss section the “raw” cardboard from the inside is yellower than the white printing. The ink on the back is black.

Wednesday 05 October 2016:
Got a box from overseas from TCZ member vito (Kia) from Germany. A huge bunch of Redskins and Rams includes about 20 GU/Relic cards some with on sticker autos. One blogger calls them something like Stickergraphs wish I could remember who it is that calls them that, or what the real term used is. UGH I’m not a huge fan of game used/relics. Oh well they were freebies with no obligation to return favor. Again since this was such a huge amount I will not list them. At least 200 cards, maybe 300 or more. There were two 100 or almost 100 card count plastic cases and 4 team bags filled (about 30 cards per bag?) I think I did an initial count when I first got the box but have since forgotten the count.

Friday 07 October 2016:
Flat package from Football Team Traders at SCF Rod Saints guy: 75 Rams and Redskins cards 72 in 9 pocket pages doubled up (4 sheets) and 3 in toploader or card “saver”. To catalog them properly and to document what they are I had to take them out easier than flipping the pages back and forth in my opinion. There are more Rams than Skins in this batch there is some duplicating, even though I have the Skins as my 1st team. It is mostly 2016 products.

Monday 17 October 2016:
I got a huge package of Orioles cards from Supertrader Tom P-Town Tom. He was cleaning out his trade box. He doesn’t want anything in return. There were 115 cards total. These are all Orioles. I should have mentioned to these guys I'm Mostly Nationals. UGH. There might be one or two cards with a second player from another team. I know there is one Rookies card with 4 players.
