First off, I'd like to thank Franklin again, downloaded Gimp and everything seems to be working flawlessly (need to clean the scanner now though haha) Replaced the scans in the first post
Second one is a Giant thank you to txviking for easily making this mail day so much sweeter for both myself and my nephew who is also starting to collect football cards.
Opened my mail box expecting to see the few cards I purchased off of Ebay, and found this waiting for me as well
Inside we managed to find plenty of inserts, rookies, stars and quite honestly some cards I would have never known about ('96 Pacific Aikman and Rodney Hampton Litho Cells)
I'll keep the scans short, but RC's include
DeMarco Murray (Topps mini and Topps Legends)
Tyron Smith
Danny Coale
Tyrone Crawford
Felix Jones
Martellus Bennet
Sean Lee
Kenny Phillips
Jerrel Jernigan
Rodney Hampton
Joe Jurevicious (Forgot about this guy, always love his name)
Stephen McGee
Larry Allen
and Morris Claiborne among others
As if this package wasn't enough there were even a few more surprises thrown in
Prominence Nicks /897
Steve Smith RC Jersey / Miles Austin GU /250
Emmitt /499 Aikman /462 Crawford RC /349
Wilson RC Diecut Greg Jones RC Auto (Technically now my first Auto Card)
I really couldn't believe it when we went through this package. It was a great time and awesome to see the little guys face light up when he saw the Aikman and Emmitt cards. Again, txviking, I can't say thank you enough. Your Vikings and you will be on my mind whenever I look to buy cards again!
-Ebay Purchases-
Grabbed this a little bit ago (also in the patches thread)
Edmond Gates RC Patch /36
While browsing around looking for anything that caught my eye I decided what better time to buy my first auto, (technically the Greg Jones would be the first now) even if we'd start out cheap. Couldn't figure out who to get for the first one until Mike Hart scrolled through. Who better to get than someone I played against in a HS game. So the hunt was on until I tracked down an SP Rookie Threads 112/204. Of course I looked at the sellers other items and also ended up with a Kenny Phillips 494/499
Figuring I really hadn't spent too much and this seller doesn't charge extra for shipping more cards, I'd grab another card or two. I won't bore you football guys with the Franklin Morales auto /99, but I did close out my purchase with
National Treasures Robert Meachem jersey auto 24/25
I'm pretty sure it's a part of the logo. If you tilt the card the very upper left corner looks like its hiding some gold stitching (3 color patch? lol)
Thought I was done spending money for the day, and getting ready to head to work to replace it, one more page reveled my last purchase. Saw a post where someone got one of these (don't remember the player) and knew that sooner or later I would end up with my own.
Hasn't came in yet, and I'll get a better picture when it does
Brian Urlacher Playoff Absolute Mem. GU #172/200
That pretty much sums it all up for now, again thanks to Franklin and txviking. Hope everyone enjoys as much as I did and can't wait to see more that you all get in!
