A Post For Jon 😉

A few posts ago, fellow blog follower and reader Jon  requested I show some of what was in my sportscard shoeboxes. So below are just a couple of oldies but goodies, mostly guys from my childhood, sitting quietly stashed.  Some of you toy bloggers out there may be familiar with some of the names.

    I'm gonna make a habit of sprinkling in a sportscard post or two every now and again. Breaks up the monotony.

    I can't say that I've ever said or done anything to inspire a post from someone else before -- it's kind of neat, thank you! Do you keep all of your cards in toploaders, or just the crème de la crème?

      You're welcome! It's no biggie, Jon. Those shoeboxes used to contain all rookie cards. Just recently I've decided to fill it with players non rookie cards as well. A nice mix of semi and superstars ranging from the early 80s up to 2018. I haven't picked up anything current in a while.

    Very cool! There's gotta be a 1987 Topps Bo Jackson "Future Stars" card in there somewhere?

      Why did Guillen come to mind when you mentioned Ozzie? I'm like " I didn't show any Guillen cards" lol. I forgot about Smith. Kirby Puckett was such a stud but then again so was pretty much every one else who played in that era. I miss 80s baseball!

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou

Recent Pick Up!

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
