Mailbag!

 Back to the mailbag again today, and a package from Dawg Day Cards. I'd promised to add a card to my COMC inventory, which I've done. Now I just have to wait for it to escape the shipping queue to pass it along.

I'm guessing it will be early spring or so before I can do so.

Preamble out of the way, let's dig in to the cards!

Baseball was one-and-done, with this addition to my Canadians-in-MLB collection. It might be a Phillies cap  and a 'World' uniform he's sporting, but that maple leaf is still very prominent here. Scott had a few cups of coffee in MLB, but did spend 8 seasons in Japan with the Giants. So, that's still a very solid career of people paying him to throw baseballs.

Sens content! I was somewhat certain that both of the autos were dupes. Not only were neither of them such a thing, these were my first autographs of either of them. So, WOO-HOO! Leevi Merilainen has recently been returned to the minors following a sketchy stretch and the team's signing of James Reimer. Sens netminding has a bit...unpredictable this season. To put it gently.

Football made up the majority of this mailer. This Drew Bledsoe appearance, newness for my 2/14 collection, was the only one that wasn't a Buffalo Bills card.

Here's 3 new Jim Kelly additions to the 2/14 collection, as I close in on the magical 300 mark for cards of his.

Naturally, there were other Jim Kelly entries that were 2/14 dupes that will enter the Bills binder, alongside some others showing up on shiny/parallels. I especially love that dual Thomas/McCoy out of Elite. That die-cut Smith is /1000.

Hit parade! Travis Henry is much better known for having enough children to field an entire NFL starting offense. Lee Evans is known for being on of the better players from the playoff drought era. 

I swear that I have more Jake Fromm autographs in my collection than his agent. I had zero memories of Martin Nance as a Bill, and with the extent of his time with the team being on the practice squad, that was probably why. But he does seem to have a very successful career in marketing post-football. 

I wonder if he'd count as a Michigan alum for future mailers to Ann Arbor?

Also, I remain disappointed there are no Basham autographs as 'Boogie'.

Thanks for all these, and I'll be sure to send things along to you when the COMC shipment shows up!

There you have it!
