Last week, the Wood Ducks returned to Kinston after two weeks away to face the Mudcats. The Mudcats have very few guys with cards, but I was able to rack anyway, since the Woodies had their team set come out on Saturday and my boxes of 2024 Bowman came in on Wednesday.
I planned ahead and picked up a couple Josh Knoth 2023 Leaf Vivid cards. Another was supposed to come in, but didn't get here in time. The card at the top of the page is a 1/+, which is cool. Both of the Knoth cards scanned great.
I also got my first 2024 Bowman cards signed by Cooper Pratt.
Yhoswar Garcia was tough; he refused to sign for us a couple time. When he did stop (finally), he his everything we had. He probably got tired of seeing me. Oh well, his stuff is completely done, so I won't have to bother him anymore.
Finally, the Wood Ducks team set came out earlier than ever. It was given out as a promotional giveaway this season. Since the team is leaving after this season, they didn't want to get stuck with a bunch in a closet somewhere.
The set looks nice. It rained on Saturday, but I was able to get in and get our sets prior to the game being called. It set up a double header for Sunday, and they were giving sets out again. All told, I ended up with 6 of them.
The 6 sets are pretty much spoken for: one for me to get signed, one for me to keep unsigned and load into the Wood Ducks album, one for Chris, one for Gerard, one for Charlie and one for any of my group that may have missed the giveaway.
The double header on Sunday gave me 4 chances to knock cards off of the list. I almost got everyone, save for a couple pitchers. There are a few who have already moved up to Hickory, a couple injured guys and a couple who were bumped down to Arizona.
I also got this Bowman Heritage of Marcu Smith signed for Gerard, but he let me keep it.
The Woodies won the series 4-2, which was great, since the Mudcats always play them tough.
