One more package from Ben

There was one more item involved in my trade/Bipping of Ben Henry. This package came in the mail the same time as the old Braves he sent.

Pretty normal package, you might say? Let's see what is inside.

Another package! The suspense mounts... what could be in this one?

Yes!!! Another package! This is the Russian nesting doll of trade packages. Opps, something's leaking out of it...

1982 Topps stickers! Yes!!! I can start seriously filling up that '82 Sticker Album Todd Querry sent me so, so long ago. I have no idea how to properly represent the filling of a sticker album on a blog, but I'll figure it out. Oh, I'm so excited!!!

A little too excited. And clumsy. Oh bother.

Get those votes in

There's about a day left to decide the fates of those 1982 Topps stickers. "Stick 'em" is leading at the moment, so if you want to save them you better get to voting. Someone asked in the comments if the things would even stick anymore after over two and a half decades. Well, to test that theory, I took this sticker here...

of Milt Wilcox and decided to test its adhesive qualities. Todd let me have two of these stickers so I had a spare anyway. Here is Milt's future home:

#186 in the album. Will it stick to the album or will the ancient glue be useless? Only one way to find out:

It stuck! The glue wasn't super sticky, but there was more than enough stick 'em on there to adhere nicely to the page. Plus I can potentially peel it off if the mob demands I keep that album pristine. There you go, hard proof these stickers will still stick, even 27 years later.
