Dennis Walters

When I saw Dennis Walters was going to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2019 I thought when I read his bio and found he has a golf show that he might sign requests, I contacted him about a week ago and he said sure he would get something out.  Well today I received this nice HOF picture and short letter.  Very nice addition to the Golf HOF collection!

The Glorious Sons - Gimme Shelter

We went to see The Glorious Sons last night at Club XL in Harrisburg PA this was a great show by the headliners and they had 2 opening acts JJ Wild & Liily the Band.  If you don't know them you probably know there current single/hit as it was No. 1 until this week on the Rock Chart S.O.S. (Sawed off Shotgun).  I was able to get a pick(Generic Black Jim Dunlop) from guitatist Chris Koster we were 2 or 3 people off the stage which was a great position with a crowd of about 1,000.  Here are some pictures.

2019 Topps S1

Today I went and bought some new Topps S1 a box and a couple packs a total of 149 cards for about $30.  The box was 99 cards and included a Commemorative Patch card, One pack was 16 cards other was 34 cards. I got these at Walmart as Target didn't have anything on there shelves, the Walmarts packs have some Ronald Acuna Jr. Exclusives. I like the design and the photography so there's that....

 Boxes and packs:

Here are the Inserts from the box a couple Acuna Exclusives, 3 Gradpefruit Legend Greats(Robinson, Brett & Betts), a Foil(Bundy), a HR Challenge(Lindor), 2 1984's(Severino & Chapman), a Greatest Seasons(Martinez), a Greatness Returns(Jeter/Torres), I think the Votto is an SP & The Henderson Manu-Patch.

Here is the best of the rest of the box:

Here are the inserts from the 34 card pack:


Here are the inserts from the 16 card pack:

Here are the Best of the 16 & 34 card packs Rookies/Future Stars:

Let me know what you think of these a total of 10 packs 149 cards about $30.00 spent.  My thoughts are no Autos, No 150th, no real big names as an Angels fan would have been nice for a Trout, Ohtani or even a Pujols.  I'm thinking everything I pulled will be found in dime boxes as soon as the next local card show so figure I might have gotten $10-$15 worth for $30 a solid box.... which is why I general don't but them I know better but with snow on the ground and seeing 2019's on twitter figured why not this is why would have done better buying autos off Ebay for $30......lol
Also if anyone knows how to identify the SP & SSP lmk maybe I missed something kind of remember it beingthe micro small number on back bottom of card......

Dime Box

We had a card show locally last weekend, I went Friday night and found a dealer with dime boxes so had to take a look wound up getting a couple Orioles I needed for Saturday's Fanfest and some Ravens then took a bunch of numbered or shiny baseball & football.  It ended up to be about 60 for $5.  Here is what I got in pictures:

Ravens & some Dion's
