The blog has been a little quiet this month. I have some cards to
show but I was away with the wife on vacation. We spent 3 days in Rome
and 3 days in Spain. It was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed it. Also,
don't gate check your bag in Rome if you are connecting to a flight in
Spain. We missed the connection due to a mechanical issue and then got
stuck in the Barcelona airport for 7 hours and they lost my bag. I got
it back 2.5 days later but that wasn't the best experience. Glad I was
still in Spain when they found it otherwise I'd probably still be
waiting.
Anyway card stuff! The World Series is now
tied 2-2. Solid series. Kind of cheering for the Astros cause I can't
cheer for the Nationals being a Phillies fan. Eagles were terrible when I
was away so now that I'm back I think they will beat Buffalo today. (I
have the right to edit this later..)
Check this card out..
Pretty
nice on-card auto of Hoskins. Still looking for last years Heritage
blue auto at a decent price. Hoskins didn't have the best season as
everyone knows but I hope he bounces back next year. If the Phillies can
get some real starting pitching and between him Harper and Realmuto
they could have something. Hopefully Girardi does well and gets the best
out of everyone!
Thanks for reading!

1992 Fleer Ultra card!
Normally I would not get excited about a junk wax era card but there are some gems out there. I ran across this at the last card show and I had never seen one in person so I decided to buy it off the dealer. Maybe overpaid by a couple bucks compared to ebay (although with shipping not that far off) but it is my first Gwynn out and it is on-card and its pretty cool looking.
Has the Fleer stamp as you can see in the middle. Very legible and nice signature in black ink.
Gabe Kapler is still the Phillies manager. There is quite a few differing opinions now on whether he will stay or go. The Phillies are either really smart or really stupid.. can't figure out which.
Hope the playoffs are fun.
