Christmas Gift From Robert

One of the first Christmas gifts that came in this year was this awesome 2016 Topps Hi Tek red parallel auto of Rafael Palmeiro.  The card is numbered 4/25 and looks awesome!  I this the card scanned great.  Robert has been a great friend for some time now, and I was really happy to get this from him.  I sent Robert some nice Jorge Soler cards for his PC, which I hope he needed.

Thank you so much for the awesome gift, Robert!  I love this card and I will have to go to the card shop for some more magnetic cases, so this one is properly taken care of!

Care Package From Robert

I got a care package of a bunch of Orioles cards from my good friend, Robert, back on May 5th.  He had busted a box of Museum Collection and ended up with some O's and sent them along with some other random Orioles.

I didn't have this Chris Davis in my collection, yet, so it helps out my PC.

I also didn't have this Adam Jones.  I like Museum Collection.  It may very well be my favorite Topps offering, aside from Topps base.  I doubt I will pick up a box, but if I see any nice Orioles patches and relics, I will be sure to pick them up.

I appreciate the cards, Robert.  Thank you!

Amazing Just Because Gift From Robert

When I talk to and trade with folks, I naturally try to be friendly and easy to get along with.  This usually results in making new friends, and building some pretty special relationships.  I have been trading with a guy named Robert, who goes by the name Huskys.Sportscards on Instagram for quite a while now.  He and I chat often and have become really close friends.  We were chatting a couple weeks ago when Robert told me that I should check my inbox on Instagram.  When I checked it, he had sent me a few pictures of cards.  I responded "those are nice."  He told me that he had some extra money in his Paypal and thought I deserved something nice.  It really blew me away.  So much so, and I'm not afraid to admit it, I teared up.  My being friendly with this guy had such an impact on him, he felt the need to pick this stuff up for me.  Believe me, it won't be forgotten.  Robert is such an amazing guy.

The above Nolan Reimold 2005 Bowman Chrome Draft Picks Refractor is really cool.  It is graded at a 9.5.  I have a ton of the base chrome, but this graded refractor is so cool!

I didn't have this 2015 Panini National Treasures Chris Davis auto in my collection yet, but Robert took care of that!  This is numbered 2/25 and looks really nice in person.  It is actually die cut, but I couldn't get it to scan properly, so I had to add a backdrop.

I love these 2009 Sterling autos of Nolan.  I got one of the black parallels from my friend, Michael, for Christmas, but Robert found this one for me as well.  This one is numbered 1/25.

Finally, Robert included this 2009 Bowman Sterling for my collection.  I now have 7 of these, and I don't mind that at all.  This might be one of my favorite cards in my collection, design-wise.  I was happy to be able to get another, especially from such a good friend.

Thank you so much for the amazing cards, Robert!  You really didn't have to get me anything, but it is so appreciated.  Thanks, Buddy!

Christmas Package From Robert

I got an awesome Christmas care package from my little buddy, Robert, the other day and was really excited to see what he included.  Robert is fairly new to my little Instagram chat group, but he has assimilated into the group almost seamlessly.

Robert really came through and sent me some stuff that I love!  The above Christian Walker blue parallel auto from 2015 Inception just looks so cool!  It is numbered 75/150.  I actually don't think I have seen one of the blue autos yet.

Robert also included this 2009 Bowman Sterling auto of Nolan Reimold.  This is my favorite card of Reimold.  I have 6 of these now.  I still need to get myself the gold parallel.  These cards just look awesome.  Since I have so many, I ought to send one of them to be graded, you know, just for fun.  I may do that at some point.

Thank you so much for the Christmas gifts, Robert.  I appreciate it, and I am glad that we were able to meet and become friends these last few months!
