BLAM!
That happened so suddenly and unexpectedly didn't it? No warnings. No signals.
In the past I made other people feel this sense of unexpected shock with my T206es, never did I think I'd have somebody do the same to me.
Well lo and behold, one of my best blogging buddies P-Town Tom of Waiting 'til Next Year got me again.
Okay well to be fair Tom did give me a warning when I first opened the bubble mailer.
Immediately I knew what this implied. For you see I had left the following comment one of the WtNY blog posts.
Obviously I meant the comment in jest. And by "folks" I mean all of the people in the super traders club (which I am not a part of). But PTT made it happen anyway. Kind of fitting really. They sent me my first T205, I sent them their first T206.
So back to the magnificent T205. It's of former Highlander Jack Quinn. Jack Quinn is notable to me for his T206 was the second T206 I had ever picked up. And with the departure of my first T206 it's been with me the longest. I have a feeling PTT probably remembered that post from this blog's early years before it became the prospecting thing it is today.
Either way, this came out of nowhere and I can't thank PTT enough for this. I definitely didn't thank him enough by sending him a bunch of inkless Adam Warrens. Time to rectify my mistake!
And there was my latest P(-To)WNAGE package from P-Town Tom. PTT's packages are always special because they know that my interests are Yankees prospects, Highlanders and a few things in between. Not everyone has either of those things and yet PTT managed to find a little bit of all three and sent it in one convenient package.
Well rest easy PTT, my next Zippy Zapping for you will not be just a PWE with a dozen ex-Yankees making up the bulk of it. I will get even (my own twisted definition of even).
So yeah, go check out Waiting 'til Next Year. I hear the Cubs are no longer terrible.
Any thanks again to PTT for the awesome cards.
And as always thank you the readers for stopping by. Take care.
"I hear the Cubs are no longer terrible."
ReplyDeleteGive them time. It is the Cubs after all.
Lol, the Chicago rivalry is real.
DeleteThe Stevenson was part of a large auto lot I purchased through the Bay... mini, chrome, Yankee, prospect, IP auto... it basically said, "Please, send me to ZZ!" So I did.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping you still had the other Quinn card. They look pretty cool next to each other. I think you should become a Quinn super collector. I did that with Karl Olson and it's been a fun experience chasing down vintage.
I'm glad the package overall was a hit. Happy spring!
Thanks again for the Quinn Tom. Mark my words, I'll get you back ;).
DeleteThat is awesome. Jack Quinn is kind of an interesting player. He was actually one of the few players that went to Boston from the Yankees during the so-called "Rape of the Red Sox" that actually played quite well for Boston.
ReplyDeleteThanks MA. I had no idea there was a "rape of the Red Sox."
DeleteWHOA
ReplyDeleteYep.
DeleteWell done, PTown. Great card and great recipient.
ReplyDeleteThanks TLC.
DeleteP-Town Tom is representing the Cubs fandom pretty well!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome to follow in his footsteps Tony ;).
DeleteBOOM! Tom went for the jugular.
ReplyDeleteThey did and they did not miss.
DeleteLove the card. Welcome to the club
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark.
