Baseballcardsrule rules!

Received a nice package of cards from Ben at Baseballcardsrule.com.  This is one of my favorite blogs, and he does some cool things over there.
I sent him a card he wanted, and he shot back with some nice cards of two of my favorite players, Mike Piazza and Tony Gwynn:

I'm very excited to get the Holoview Piazza, as it is a new set I have added to my Super Duper Checklist and don't have this important part yet.  Also happy to see the 2nd year Bowman card which I didn't have.

He also threw in some Tony Gwynn's and I'm happy to say that 3 of 4 of these I don't have.  The Fleer Limited Edition is one I have, but it is tucked away in with the rest of the set, so now I have an extra for my Gwynn pages.

Thank you so much Ben!

Wax Wednesday- Confession Time

To no suprise to anyone who knows me, I caved on my vow to give up buying cards for lent. It didn't take much temptation either I have to say:

I didn't purchase any wax, which I suppose is something, but these cards out of the local dealers bargain box were too tough for me to refuse.   I am a sucker for hologram and motion cards, so I am digging the Denny's Jackie Robinson and the 2 Holoview cards of Ripken and Gwynn.  I don't collect Tulowitzki, but this refractor was begging me to buy it.  I guess I could get back on the wagon, but I don't really want to.
