I challenge you to a game of horseshoes, a game of horseshoes!


Listening:  Arrested Development 3 Years, 5 Months and 2 Days in the Life of...

Received three packages yesterday.  First up, my third trade with TCDB member andres79 which is strictly hockey.  We start with a pair of Michigan additions:

Followed by three Hawks additions:

And lastly, a 2018-19 Giordano for Owen’s collection:

The second package is my first trade with TCDB member suedehead6.  Early 90s basketball set builders start us off:

A pair of hockey set builders (91-92 Pinnacle 95.5%) (92-93 Ultra 62%) follow:

Three football additions for the Michigan collection:

And nine Michigan hockey additions:

The suedehead6 trade concludes with 20 Hawks additions:

Yesterday’s third and final package comes via COMC.  I took advantage of the recent spring sale and went on a mini buying binge.  Additionally, I won a $25 credit through one of their Facebook contests.  The COMC package begins with baseball set builders and includes (1984 Fleer 99%, 1984 Topps 96%, 1986 Donruss 100%, 1987 Opening Day 100%, 1989 Fleer All-Stars insert 100%, and 1989 Topps Traded 100%):

A small batch of basketball set builders that allowed me to complete 1989-90 Fleer Stickers insert set and move my 1996-97 Finest set up to 69% complete:

Some nice football additions that allowed me to finally complete the 1985 Topps and 1986 Topps 1000 Yard Club insert sets.  Some key 1989 pick-ups move my completion rate for both the Score and Topps Traded sets to 94%:

Of course a COMC purchase must include some Chris Webber’s:

I also picked up a pair of Woodson’s for the Michigan collection:

COMC purchases must also include a nice batch of Giannis’.  We start with a single 2015-16 and three from 2016-17:

We then have nine from 2017-18:

We move on to 2018-19 with one Donruss, five Optic, and three Hoops:

And we round out the Giannis acquisitions with 14 more from 2018-19:

Finally, the COMC box wraps up with three Ed Belfour’s.  I used the bulk of the Facebook credit to buy the autographed card – my first Belfour AU!
