The first one comes from Sharpe, of Sharpe Since '92, who just sent this card out of the kindness of his great big heart. I wasn't expecting it, and he insisted on not accepting anything in return. Griffin puts me just ONE card away from finishing the Creatures of Myth, Legend & Terror mini set. I still need Mr. Grendel, who is hopefully on the way soon via another trade. Does anyone else out there think that Griffin is mis-spelled? I always thought it was Gryphon, which looks a whole hell of a lot more mythical than Griffin.
Next up is the gift I received from A Rookie (Baseball) Card Collector's Secret Santa thingamajig. This is not only a Markakis I don't have, but it's also one I wouldn't have gone out of my way to purchase. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that you wait a year to add cards like this to your player collection, or you'll end up overpaying for it. It's quite a treat to have this card now, and I have admittedly lost out on a few auctions for it in the past. So a big thank you to whoever it was that got me this fabulous card.
I hope everyone is having a terrific Tuesday (alliteration bitches!). Stay tuned for some cards I found while organizing my collection. It's amazing what you forget you have when you let things get out of hand. There's also a few trades to be posted, so be on the lookout for those as well. If you'll excuse me, I'm off to the Post Office.
