I purchased a 3 card lot of Panini XR 2 numbered to /199 and the other an Auto/Jersey card of J.K. Dobbins off of EBay mainly because I needed an auto for the Ravens Autograph collection and the prices for his stuff have been insane but this was relatively a good deal.
In Wednesday's mail I received 2 envelopes one was a single card from a trade with @KarlinCards and was a 2020 Lamar Jackson Panini Illusions Clear Shot. The second envelope had 2 cards both A's and both mini's I was in a break for a box of 2020 T206 and had the AL west so received a base Matt Chapman and a Barry Zito Old Mill variation back which are in 1:30 boxes only have seen one on EBay and went for $20 so not a bad hit.

Today I received this Kyle Dugger Panini Illusions autograph from @employee84 on twitter as part of #CeliacAwareness he is giving away 1,000 cards and this was 960 so he's getting close to his goal. I gave up a claim on another autograph because it was a PC for them so he replaced it with this nice one.
Today's mail was one card that was from a trade that was shipped 12/26/20 so took awhile to arrive but well worth it as it's a Ravens Autograph need of Devin Duvernay 2020 Panini Certified # 233 #'d 297/499 3 color Jersey/Autograph. This was from Bryce on twitter @23BTwin23.
Today I received 2 separate envelopes with a total of 2 autographs first is a #RAK from @OneTime007 consisted of a PC need 2020 Panini Prestige James Proche of the Ravens, the second was a 2013 Panini Score 2013-14 Riley Smith which was a trade with @JukichAshley.

On Friday, I received 3 separate packages first was a 2 card Flyers #RAK # LiSiGi from @brian_coe. Second was a purchase from someone on Twitter (@h8stephena) who is currently suspended and it took him 10 days to get it in the mail and then USPS another 25 days to deliver so wasn't sure I was going to see this one but it's here and safe & sound 3 autographs one of which was a Ravens need Ben Bredeson. Lastly was my said of a trade with @Tyson_MLB and included 5 Baseball autographs and a few Angels cards. The following is a list of the 8 autographs I received and pictures of all 3 packages.
I made a trade with @Moissuperman from twitter. This was a pretty substantial trade as my side was for a total of 57 Football autographed cards which did include 3 doubles so 54 new ones basically from 2012 to 2016 they are as follows:
I purchased these cards from @LebronsLocker stack sale a few weeks ago. The 6 football Ravens & Brees I bought & the 2012 Crown Royale Lavon Brazill # 57 #'d 105/149 was a free claim during the sale.
I received this very nice Sandy Alomar 2020 Topps Archives Signature Series # 142 #'d 49/62 Encased autographed card from twitter follower @Nick_Benevento. Outstanding addition to the collection.
In Saturdays mail was my side of my 5th trade this one was with @CollectTheCards he added a handful of Angels but the main trade was for the 4 autographs 2 Baseball & 2 Football.
I made a twitter trade with Derek @Hwy92Cards for 13 Baseball autographs and some Trout's & a couple Pujols. Here is what I received.
This trade was sent by Ryan a fellow Ravens collector I've know for years and lives about 45 miles away from me. With that said this he sent this to me on 12/21/20 and I received it on 1/8/2021 so almost 3 weeks probably could have walked it to me in less time. Here is what I received 9 Autographed Football Cards & a Ravens Justin Ellis autographed glove which was a needed auto for my Ravens collection.
I won one of the 2 fantasy leagues I was in for this NFL season so I decided to buy an HOFer autograph that I needed Cliff Battles PSA/DNA 3x5 he's been deceased since 1981 so since I didn't have him, had to purchase one for the collection. See below for a short wikipedia write up and the actual autograph. Cliff is the 223rd football HOFer in my collection.
I received in the mail today an envelope containing 3 football autographs from a trade with @cardscactus on twitter maybe? I went back to tweet him I received and can't find him oh well. So these are the 3 cards I received.
I received 2 envelopes in the mail today. First was a #RAK on #PWEFriday a few weeks ago that just arrived so hoping USPS may be getting caught up after the holiday this was from @KevinSpollen which included 2 new autographs 2020 Panini Contenders Draft Picks # 201 Evan Weaver & 2001 Upper Deck Game Gear # AZ-GS Az-Zahir Hakim. The other was the first trade of 2021 which included a 2007 Topps Performance # 107 Troy Smith Jersey/Auto & 2007 Just Minors Terry Evans # JA-14 & 2007 Just Minors Sean O'Sullivan # JR-43.

I received 3 envelopes in the mail today a total of 4 cards A Dan Marino 2020 Clear Shots an Add t the PC. A Alex Bregman which was a Twitter giveaway win. Finally, 2 Autographs one of Tyler Huntley (2020 Panini Prizm # 128) and the other of Geno Stone (2020 Panini Chronicles Draft Picks Prestige # 7) both have played for the Ravens this year and I wasn't able to get in person and with Stone now in Houston probably never will get in person.
Had a small mailday today I have a number of items in transit but with USPS who knows when you'll get them. Today's mail was 2 separate envelopes one that was sent out 12/14 & the other was sent 12/28. So to what I received were 2 different Ravens cards first was from @imitationbacon1 for the gifted Lamar Jackson from te weekly #RAK Thread. The other was a 2012 Tommy Streeter Bowman Chrome Autograph #BCRA-TS which was purchased from @DylanSwailes on Twitter as well.
Just want to wish everyone a better 2021 then 2020 was. Also, I don't really do resolutions but will set a few hobby related goals one is a carry over from 2020 which is to complete a trade a week which is a total of 52 during 2021. So if you want to trade let me know I'm always looking for unwanted autographs of anybody I don't have any sport or non-sport from any of the card companies. Also, will look at anything of Tom Seaver, Dan Marino, Carter Hart & The Baltimore Ravens.
Happy New Year's to all!
