August 2015 Sportlots Mailday

 Another card from high on the wantlist to cross off anong with a couple fillers, the reason for the order was a Private Stock Ben Petrick mini. Being a Rockies catcher automatically earns you a spot in my collection. I you are not familiar with the story of Ben Petrick it is worth find out more about. I have gone into it in the past so I will just give a link for the interested.

First Trade of 2013

The first trade of 2013 comes through Zistle.com, a nice size package of cards from the wantlist. A couple new cards for the Rockies pitchers batting collection, but the real highlight was the catchers, a Chris Iannetta and Jayhawk Owens for Rockies, and a couple Buster Posey cards, including a Bowman rookie and 2 more Triple Play puzzle pieces giving me 3 out of 9. The Jimmie Foxx with the old school mask close up and team listed as the Easton Farmers is a new favorite will go in the front of the catcher binder. Finished of by some 1995 Upper Deck, which is my favorite 90's set after 92 Pinnacle and one single 2011 Gypsy Queen closer to the set, and one football card, a 2012 Prestige DeAngelo Hall.
