I got a nice surprise package in the mail recently from my friend, Michael S. from Instagram. He and I both have been really busy lately, and haven't chatted much, which I regret. I have some cards for him, but I have been waiting to ship once I find some more stuff to add to the pile.
Michael really surprised me with what he included in the package. I had never seen the above 2006 Bowman Originals Nolan Reimold auto. It is hand numbered and comes in a sealed snap case. They don't scan very well, but that's ok. I loved the Bowman Heritage when it came out. I feel like it may be time for Topps to go back to the well with Bowman Heritage.
Michael included this 2009 Topps Chrome Nolan Reimold auto as well. I have a couple already, but since I super collect Nolan, I will take duplicates of his relics and autos at any time.
Michael added this 2008 Donruss Diamond Kings Reimold auto. The card looks really awesome and is numbered 149/500. I always liked Diamond Kings, when they were their own standalone product, and when they were inserts in Donruss products. They always look awesome.
Finally, Michael included this 1/1 sketch card. I have actually seen this one on Ebay from time to time. I never jumped on it, though. Now that I have this in my hands, I'm really impressed with the art of it. The guy is really talented, that's for sure. I used to do a good bit of artwork when I was younger and always struggled when drawing people. This guy really nailed it, I think.
Thanks so much for the Christmas care package, Michael. I really appreciate it and am happy to add all of these cards to my collection!
