Massive Mail

Balk Four was the very first to welcome me to the Bloggerland. Offering to send some cards of what I collect at a time I only had two posts. Well two months and 30 posts later, I received a giant yellow envelope. He definitely sent a plethora of cards. A very fun time going through the cards. Here is what he sent:

First up, some additions to my player collections -Upton and Crawford

• Hello Mr. Upton - 5 Grrreeeaaaaaat! BJ Upton cards
• My fav is Topps Heritage card - A great vintage pose on a vintage card
• The Upperdeck Reflections card is numbered to 99 - Very Nice and shiny
  
• The Donruss Elite another shiny and actually talks about BJ's first hit - Very Cool - since I was there - A card I will cherish - Thank you, Thank you!!
  

• Carl's turn - My fav being the Fleer Ultra - I'm going to say he is celebrating a homer but I could easily be wrong
  
• the UD MVP has him standing straight - obviously getting some signs
  
• and a Donruss Zenith having watch a foul ball - I imagine - all very nice additions
  

Next up - The Ichiros

• My favorite Ichiro is the upper right - great photo and vintage design - Love it :)
• The ticket stub is very cool - at first I thought it was a ticket stub and thought cool but when I unfolded it - I realized it was a 03 Fleer card - me like! - Thank you, Thank you!!
  

• The Victory is cut like a playing card - very fun card
  
• The Bazookas are very cool - one him running and the other photo looks like he is an infielder - the red is super thick - Thanks for whole collection of variants
• My First National Trading Card Day card - Thanks
• The Donruss Champions really waste space
  
• the Topps Gallery - in the classic Ichiro I'm getting ready for another hit
  
• and last but not least, another shiny with the UD Reflections

All great additions to my Ichiro Collection

50 Rays cards - here are my favs

• Longoria Bowman Rookie - definitely the card of the shipment for me!! :)
  
• Abernathy looking like a freshman in high school but I love this style of card
  
• Tino Martinez as a Ray - WOW! its amazing how a card can spark a memory - seeing this card brings me back to the Red Sox/Ray game I saw at the Trop and Tino crushed a homer - Thanks, this card it will be cherished
• I can't make up my mind on collecting Mr Boggs but I definitely like the Rays cards of him, there was just that whole Yankee phase
  
• Rocco on a very sweet card and a great swinging shot
  

Rickey Cards - my first from blogging and i believe all but one were needed - Thank You!

20Red Sox Cards - the favs

• I really like the Fleer Ultra - its very interesting and unique design - I love the one rounded corner
  
• Okajima Bowman Chrome, great shot of him pitching
  

So a great collection of cards and I definitely had a blast going through the whole shipment. Much thanks and I will definitely be sending out a return package once I pull a few more cards for you. Just wasn't expecting so much.

Thank You, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!
