Cool Stuff #1 - Beautiful Auto

HEY, EVERYTHING'S GREAT.

BRAVES WON A GAME AND ACUÑA SIGNED A BIG DEAL

TRAE YOUNG KICKING ASS YET STILL GETTING THE HAWKS LOTS OF PING PONG BALLS

UNITED STILL HAS AN ALMIRON AND TATA HANGOVER BUT ARSENAL IS SOMEHOW IN THIRD PLACE???

WATCHED THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI TODAY, WHO DOESN'T LOVE THAT MOVIE

BEEN READING LOTS OF COMICS, TRY THIS ONE, IT'S FUN

STRESS LEVELS ARE DOWN, NOT SURE IF IT'S BECAUSE MY MENTAL STATE HAS COMPLETELY COLLAPSED AND I JUST DON'T CARE ANYMORE, BUT WHATEVER IT FEELS FANTASTIC

AND I HAVE SOMEHOW ACQUIRED A DON MOSSI AUTOGRAPH CARD HOLY CRAP


 LOOKIT THAT GORGEOUS PUSS. AND THAT LOVELY HANDWRITING. YOU CAN READ EVERY LETTER AND HE DOTTED THE I, NOT THE EAR

LIKE MOST OF MY SPECTACULAR PICKUPS THIS ONE COMPLETELY BLINDSIDED ME. AT A RECENT LOCAL CARD SHOW I SHOWED UP SUPER LATE (AN HOUR BEFORE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO END, HOW GAUCHE) AND PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE WAS ALREADY PACKED UP WHEN I WALKED IN. I LOOKED HALFHEARTEDLY AT SOME VINTAGE STUFF I'VE PICKED OVER A THOUSAND TIMES, THEN PARKED IN FRONT OF SOME POOR BASTARD'S DIME BOX FOR 45 MINUTES WHILE EVERYONE ELSE CLEARED OUT. DROPPED A HAMILTON ON SOME TEN CENT GOODIES [foreshadowing] AND ON MY WAY OUT THE DOOR THE VINTAGE GUY WAS STILL SET UP SO I CLEANED HIM OUT OF 25-CENT KELLOGG'S AS ONE DOES. WENT TO PAY AND DON LEAPT OUT OF A STACK OF AUTOGRAPH CARDS AND TACKLED MY ASS, DEMANDING THAT I TAKE HIM HOME. HOW COULD I SAY NO TO THAT SWEET SMILING FACE



THIS IS MY FAVORITE INDIANS CARD OF DON SO REALLY PICKING THIS UP WAS A NO BRAINER AND I'M GLAD THAT STACK OF AUTOS ACCOSTED ME WHEN IT DID. FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, MY FAVORITE TIGERS MOSSI IS THE '64 TOPPS*, MY FAVORITE ATHLETICS MOSSI IS THE '66 TOPPS AND I AM ETERNALLY HEARTBROKEN THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A WHITE SOX CARD OF DON. CHECK OUT THAT STEALTH PERFECT GAME COMMEMORATED WITH A CARTOON ON THE BACK. FANTASTIC


EVEN BETTER IS I GOT MY SHIT TOGETHER FINALLY AND HAVE A FOLDER FULL OF SCANS ACTUALLY SORTED AND ORGANIZED AND READY TO POST AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE. CHECK OUT SOME SPOILERS FOR FUTURE POSTS IN THE IMAGE ABOVE. FOR THE REST OF THE SUMMER MY LACK OF POSTS IS 100% DUE TO MY LAZINESS SO YELL AT ME WHEN YOU'RE READY FOR MORE TRASH TRADING CARD CONTENT. PLAY BALL!

*YOU'D THINK IT WOULD BE THE '60 TOPPS BUT NOPE. '64

Truly a thing of beauty!

Not sure what I envy more... organized scans, the Mossi auto, or you watching Buckaroo Banzai. I'll just call it a three way tie.

Cool card! I'll be sure to remember to yell at you on Twitter when I'm in the mood for a new post :)

@NightOwl it's the only way I can keep up the sense of urgency required to actually write the things
@Steve Billy showed me that on Twitter and it's now on my list of Top 10 cards I want that I also haven't actually written yet
