Other worldly cards

I've been working to catch up on a few bubble mailers of cards that have come in recently. I'm glad to say that I'm jusssst about caught up.

I recently snagged a lot of cards that Dan of Dan's Other World offered up. There was a great assortment of about 50 Yanks, and here are my favorites below. The package contained a bunch of A&G cards from the years when A&G was attractive looking, plus some old school Flair. Those cards still feel special, let me tell you.

 

 

Dan, these were some awesome cards. Thank you, sir.

More goodies from Zippy Zappy

A few weeks ago, I completed a trade with Kenny aka Zippy Zappy. He definitely sent me a sweet haul.

Out of the blue, another package from Kenny arrived at my door. We hadn't been working on any deal or anything. Upon opening it, there was a note from Kenny that said he was downsizing his collection a little bit, and no need to send anything in return. Certainly a very generous gesture.

There was no shortage of shiny or ink in the cards he sent. First off, there were two...yes TWO Dellin Betances certified autos. I had a Dellin auto from TTM, but nothing official. Dellin has finally been moved to the bullpen, and he's been a lot better. I wouldn't be surprised if the Yanks get something out of him this year.

There was also a 2011 Topps Chrome Blue Refractor autograph of Hector Noesi, the second part of the famous Montero-Pineda swap.

Here's a sampling of what Kenny sent, including a bunch of prospects I collect. That is also my first Youkilis card as a Yankee. Thanks for nothing so far, Youk.

Kenny, both packages have been a blast to go through, especially with all the prospects cards. Thanks again!
