Ryan, thanks again bud.
I collected baseball cards from the late '80s through 2002. Then I went to college and when I came out, I was lost. There were too many brands, sets, choices, relics, autos, parallels, variations. It was a turn off. However, I slowly made my way back. So here is my attempt to venture back into the hobby. I'll buy a few packs of cards here and there, comment on some cards I have, send out some TTMs, and follow the progress of my Topps Yankees Project.

LaMonica LaDelivers
I consider Ryan LaMonica of Ryan's Pitch one of my good buddies around here.
We check in from time to time on the Yanks, our kids, the bobby, etc. He’s
certainly a lot more palatable than Napkin Doon. I sent Ryan one stinkin’
Anthony Rizzo card, and he goes all bubble mailer on me and sent me some great
cards. On a side note, his handwriting is spectacular. He included a note, and
the penmanship was simply top notch. I felt like I was holding an official
document from the 1700’s. It was that good.
First off, a bunch of 4x6 (I think) photos of some Yankee
greats. The back of each had a photo of another player. I have no idea what set
or issue these are front, but they are very cool.
Love the GQ’s, especially the Pineda. Can’t wait to see that
beast in the Bronx.
Ryan also sent me a 2013 Archives Yankees team set, which
saves me a bunch of time from having to put one together on my own.
Lastly, Ryan showed off this Zoilo Almonte the other day. I
foolishly made a comment that I used to have that card until Zoilo didn’t
return my TTM, so of course it shows it up a PWE from Ryan. What a guy!
Hmph. See if I ever send you any Rances again.
