There were some things sitting in my account that I really wanted in hand (the previously posted Sammy Baugh coming through the mailbox program being the main one) that led to requesting a shipment without a ton of items. Starting off with some shiny gold, inspired by this post on The Collector blog I picked up some gold 2002 Pristine and wow, they are nice. More modern, but just as nice is the Gold Trevor Story from 2017 Stadium Club.

Another Big New Addition
First off, thanks for all the Congratulations on the previous post. Secondly, back to the cardboard and a pretty huge addition to the Redskins collection. An on-card signature of Sammy Baugh, Hall of Famer and pretty much the first NFL superstar with the Redskins from 1937-1952 winning two NFL Championships, 6x 1st Team All-Pro, 2x 2nd Team All-Pro, 2x NFL Player of the Year and was the career leader in Passing yards and Passing Touchdowns when he retired.

It's A Boy!
A couple quick points, a new addition on Feb 8th, our second child and first boy, everyone is doing well. That explains the lack of action here, as well as a few packages that never got a post, including one from Sportscards from the Dollar Store with a lot of my favorite 2018 release, Panini Chronicles. Hopefully back to normal soon.

First Trade-Post of 2019
Collecting has really fallen to the back-burner due to a number of things, post-xmas recovery, a serious cold streak and other family dealings, so that is why it took until February to have an actual trade post. Starting off with two former Rockies from 2017 Stadium Club, the Lucroy is just a beautiful shot while the Pomeranz is an addition to the "why do I still collect this guy" PC.
