My good friend Suzy from A Cardboard Problem sent me some Braves. Not just any Braves, but new Braves. Braves I don't have, or will ever have the chance to buy, as living in Canada is the same as living in a vacuum sometimes. (Still no new baseball here.)
These are the new fangled Topps Black cards all the kids are talking about.
Bobby!
Kelly!
Huddy!
Jeffrey!
and Jo-Jo!
okay. not that rare. but is it odd that I now have the gold #'d parallel and the exclusive black version of this before I have ever even seen a regular 2009 Topps card???
note: Both versions of Bobby were the only ones encased in top loaders. Even a Yankee fan gives Bobby the respect he deserves.
Also, some '09 Upper Deck. The Braves Team Leaders card;

I LOVE these team leader cards.... love 'em! They remind me of the OPeeChee hockey league leaders in the mid-late '70's. Beautiful.
Chipper!!!!
Thom Glavine. I mean, Tom Glavine. This is Upper Deck, not Topps.

this one obviously was spared by the chipper.

and finally, a puzzling one. I guess maybe Suzy is tired of our little blog war. She's decided to make peace. The final card she sent is of her favourite player, Derek Jeter, shown here in all full bleed colour, striking out against Anaheim.
Which brings me to the second package. And the title of today's entry. Scott from Hand Collated
sent me this little gem.

Ahh, Kelly Johnson. I'll just let you know that I have my eye on him in fantasy...fantasy baseball, that is.
Heyo, As a fellow canuck I feel your pain. Luckily, i'm in Toronto where I can go and drop a few hundred dollars I dont have on baseball cards.
I'll shoot you a Braves set once I get everything organized.
