Sticker Swap

Yes, I'm still working on my World Cup sticker book as well as the last two season's worth of the Premier League. John from Pursuit of Red Sox sent over a package about a month ago (I'm sooo behind in my posting) that contained stickers from all three sets.

Thanks again John.

And if anyone else is collecting these, my wantlists are up to date... please take a look at them, link on the side bar.
Thanks.

Sweetness!

No. Not Walter Payton, although he is coming up in a future post.... this sweetness...
stickers! John sent me more stickers! I'm so busy with them that I didn't even bother to stop and take a picture. Why? Because I took one the last time he sent some. So you get the same pic as last time.
Meh.
If I hadn't of told you, you never would have known.
Now if you'll exscuse me, I've got some stickers to stick in my sticker book.

catching up.... and a warning....

with my scanner on a work stoppage, I've fallen behind on a few mail days. My apologies. I'll try to catch up on the first few here.

first up, my good pal John in the UK sent over some more wonderful stickers. He sent some random Braves as well, but it's the stickers that I'm truly after. As soon as I'm done typing, I'll be ripping and putting these in my album.
if anyone has doubles of these, hook a brother up. There's nothing worse than a half empty sticker book.
next we have a selection from Paul from Crawford Cards. It started out simple enough. He had a few '03 Heritage cards I needed. Then it grew to an exchange of '76 Topps as well. Paul also enclosed a surprise Pete Smith auto.
I'm a lot closer to completing these two sets. Thanks Paul. I know you already received the first part, the second part should be there soon...

now we're onto my Canadian friend David. Or tunguska as some may know him from a Long Fly Ball to Because. David first sent over this Brian McCann auto, which apperntly arrived sooner than it should have, followed by this box of much needed '09 OPC hockey. Trying to complete a 600 card set plus shiny inserts is a very daunting task. It's great to have friends who can help.

It all started back in mid April. I bought a blaster of these and busted them here for all to see. I decided to not collect them, and offered them up to anyone who needed them. David spoke up, and I ended up sending him 15 or 20 cards. Like an idiot, I decided to collect the set about a week later. Well, he returned the favour, and then some.

Lastly we have two packages from Greg at Lake Effect Baseball Cards. Greg hit my wantlists with a passion. He finished off my '91 Score set, my '08 Opening Day set, along with some needed '09 Heritage, '76 Topps, and a random assortment of rather interesting Braves.

Please cast your eyes to the back row.

need a closer look?

Those are Braves baseball card Xmas ornaments. You know damn well they're going on my tree. Greg, you need to know my wife is not amused. Things were said. Promises were made. But you shouldn't worry too much Greg... I mean, she does know your address, but you're fairly far away. And you do have a head start.

Greg has decided to take "an indefinite hiatus" from blogging. Coincidence? I think not. He knows. He knows.

Good luck Greg.

Yummy Sticker Sweetness...

My good friend John from The Pursuit of 80's, among other blogs, has sent me the mail day to end all mail days. The last thing I sent him turned into some sort of shrine, and he wanted to return the favour I guess. He succeeded.
What you are looking at is a 12"x16" glossy 96 page sticker book. This thing is huge! And Shiny!

There is a section for every Premier League team as well as All Star pages and tonnes more... It took me over an hour to read everything.... and I haven't got any stickers yet..... or do I????

John sent a few packets of stickers to get me started....

I'm gonna be busy for awhile... not to mention trying to hide it from everyone else in the house. Everyone loves stickers!!!

Now I must go troll the 'bay for a box of these things....

I. Must. Complete. This. Set.
