In the Harry Potter series, it’s well-known that mail is not
delivered by postmen or even electronically. It’s delivered by owls. I’d like
to think that a fluffy night bird delivered this bubble mailer to my NJ
address. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it.
So what did it entail? Clearly a bunch of Yanks that Night Owl
had a hard time parting with.
And it wasn’t just cards. This teeny tiny Don Mattingly pin
fell out. I have never seen these. They are small! And Mattingly was so young
here. It’s really cool. I feel like I need to put it on my backpack or
something.
I know how much NO loves Mark Teixeira, especially when he
is making the puffy fish face. While he isn’t doing it here, these are two
inserts that were passed along, showing that Greg not only pulls Giants cards
at alarming rates, but he pulls Teixeira parallels far too frequently. Maybe
after his Yankee deal is up, Tex will sign with the Giants, and Greg will pull
Giants card of him. Wouldn’t that be enjoyable for everyone but Greg?
This Cano is fancy. I’ve never seen this edition of Bowman’s
Best. It’s nice, but feels like it should be Topps Tribute or Topps Supreme or something else I can't afford. It’s
not quite fitting of Bowman’s Best, in my opinion. Nice card, just off-brand.
I like this card entirely too much.
I think this is my favorite Topps Opening Day set. I really
like the gray border with blue foil. Maybe because it’s Yankees colors? I just
like that it feels different than the flagship, as opposed to the same exact
card with an Opening Day logo.
Some legends are next! Those are not reprints.
Ok, they are. Lastly, a Jeter from 2015 I didn’t have. I
have an unofficial quest to collect 500 different Jeters. I don’t know what
number I’m at just yet, but it’s pretty high. I hope to know within the next
few weeks when I start to organize a bit more.
Greg, thanks for sending this package via owl post. Hope you saved on shipping.
