Fred Dean

Today I received this Fred Dean Panini illusions Superlatives autograph # SP-FD #'d 32/75 in the mail from a ebay purchase from an accepted offer.  Mr. Dean is the 212th football HOFer in my collection .

Terrell Davis

Continuing to pick up Hall of Fame football autographs that I need. Today's is a 2014 SP Authentic Sign of the Times Terrell Davis # SOTT-TD.  Bought it off of EBay for the opening bid so was at a good price hate when shipping/tax is more then the card....... Collection sits at 211.

Culp & Hampton

I had purchased these 2 needed football HOFers last week from Ebay.  Nice additions number 209 & 210 to the collection.  Curly Culp 2018 Panini Absolute Iconic Ink # II-CC & then the Dan Hampton 2017 NSCC Beckett Magazine Cover Redemption Says were 400 sets not sure how many are signed these are metal like a printing plate pretty cool item.  The seller of the Culp added 6 other cards including a TB12.

Mike Webster

I came across this Mike Webster PSA autographed 8 x 10 as a Buy It Now on Ebay and the price was right. He was a need for the Football HOF collection, so I jumped on it Mike is the 208th member I have a little over 60% of all HOFers.  Will be looking to add more in the near future.

Jack Christiansen

I purchased this JSA autographed picture of Detroit Lion Jack Christiansen from Ebay.  This is the 207th Football Hall of Famer in the collection. Jack was a member of the 1970 class and passed away in 1986.  So definitely not one I would be getting in person. Happy to have been able to add him.

David Wells (Football)

I received this card in the mail yesterday from @Sunvoldkeri of twitter and the @ngtcollectibles Sunday card thread.  Nice little autograph addition 2018 Panini Contenders # 207.

Panini Rewards Points

I redeemed some Panini Rewards Points for 10 Cards.  I did it back in the beginning of March so took 2 months to complete from time of ordering.  Had to also pay for shipping & Handling which was $14 total now I knew why the package weighed 7 ounces and they shipped it as 3 pounds for $11.90 so roughly 3 times what it should have been but what the heck customer is paying I guess so they don't care, in addition that these are replacements for hits you should have received in the a box any cost is ridiculous IMO.  They also scotch taped each top-loader and a couple of the top-loaders used were too big for the card.  With all that said I'm happy with the cards I got and that they did finally arrive safely.  

1) Julius Thomas - 2014 Rookies & Stars Longevity Jersey/Auto #'d 20/25 # MS-JT.

2) Calvin Pryor - 2014 Totally Certified #'d RP-CP.

3) T.J. Green - 2014 Preferred Rookie Color Guard# 285 #'d 10/49.

5) De'Anthony Thomas - 2014 Select Jersey/Auto # 217 #'d 145/149.

6) Tre Mason - 2014 Certified Patch # 240 #'d 141/699.

7) DeMarcus Walker - 2017 Contenders # 138.

Mailday

I got two items in the mail today one was a prize from BFG over at  https://johnnnystradingspot.blogspot.com/ , So thanks Johnny for the Wills & Vander Meer 1977 Sportscaster cards.  The other item is a new Ravens need since not sure how many autographs I will be getting this up coming season with this new Covid-19 environment so for a couple bucks picked up this 2013 Leaf Draft D.J. Fluker autograph card.

Graded Trade Bait

These items are available for trade some miscellaneous Baseball & Football cards.  LMK in comments or by email soskinfamily at yahoo dot com.

Rayfield Wright

Mailday from an Ebay purchase, HOFer Rayfield Wright of the Cowboys 8x10 bringing my Collection to 206 HOFers.

Jim Ringo

I purchased this Hall of Fame Ron Mix collection Platinum autographed Jim Ringo postcard off of EBay last week and it arrived today.  Nice addition to the Football HOF collection it is now sitting at 205 different enshrined members or just about 60% not bad but a long way to go to complete......

Ravens Trade # 6

I made a trade with fellow Ravens autographer Ryan we usually graph together at games and some functions through out the season.  He reached out I guess being at home he had time to organize and sent me link to pictures of his doubles.  I went through and found the following 69 cards to add to my collection in exchange for the same to his collection from my doubles so was a great deal both ways, always nice to turn doubles into singles. See the 5 pictures below for each of the cards I got in this deal.

BFG Prize

Last Friday night I played in John's BFG game on his blog and won the following cards that arrived in the mail today. See his blog to get in on the fun. https://johnnnystradingspot.blogspot.com/
1) Oversize 1984 Donruss Dale Murphy
2) Mark Brunell 1996 Donruss IP autograph. (Note on Brunell he played a few times in Baltimore against the Ravens and I asked him towards end of his career to sign as he exited the tunnel, since he had been in town a few times and never stopped to sign he turned and yelled "And I never f@$&ing will"). So nice he he signed somewhere at sometime........
Thanks John!
