I just received a care package
from Jon from A Penny Sleeve For Your Thoughts, which I very much so
appreciate. He was wondering how I was doing and sent some cards and a DVD too.
The DVD is from the 2007
Season Ticket Holder package and includes highlights from the team’s 30-year
history. It was narrated by Dave Niehaus, the voice of the Mariners from 1977
until his death in 2010, and just hearing his voice brought back some wonderful
memories of watching baseball over the years. A lot of happy memories.
New additions to my
Steve Kerr collection, Sonics collection and Mariners’ collections. There were
more cards sent but I only scanned about half of the cards.
I have been working on my Edgar mini-pc and
now I have my first Edgar relic card.
The Mariners just retried Edgar Martinez's number and in conjunction with the ceremony they did an Edgar Martinez bobble head SGA and his bat has a
light on it that works. I am not a bobble head collector and have picked up only
a couple of Griffey SGAs but I do plan on picking up one of the Edgar Lights
Out bobble heads when they drop down to realistic prices.

Edgar Martinez Bobblehead Night—with fully functioning light bat—is August 11th. https://t.co/hczcHnsOrT pic.twitter.com/q938N0JS3H
The last two cards are a
Buhner and Edgar 1999 Upper Deck Black Diamond Triple Diamond #/1500. I had the
Buhner card on my wants list so that is a number card off the list. I haven’t
built an Edgar want list yet, I am making some changes in my collection so I do
plan to create one eventually.
I don't think I have ever been able to contribute a "first" to someone's collection before, so that was pretty neat to be able to do. And I'm glad to hear I was able to unknowingly remove a Buhner from your list.
ReplyDeleteI'm not that into bobble heads either, but I will be looking forward to the future post in which you show off your newest night light :)
That bobblehead is fantastic! I've always admired Edgar's bat. I recently picked up a pair of his cards for my collection. Hopefully you bat relic is correct and he's Bound for the Hall.
