Two packages arrived today in the mail from a beckett.com order I did earlier in the week. The first was from Diamonds in the Rough. It had two cards in it.
2007-08 Finest Refractors Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq became my favorite player when he joined the Lakers and remained so even after leaving for the Miami Heat. He and A.C. Green are the only two Lakers I continued to collect after they left the team.
1998 Red Sox Score of Aaron Sele. My largest PC is of Sele, a childhood friend. I'm working on updating my have vs want list and putting it on a new page on this blog. While doing that, I found a couple I was missing, including this one.
The other package contained 16 cards from DJ's Sportcards of Renton. DJ always throws in a fake million dollar bill with your orders.
2000 MLB Showdown Pennant Run Unlimited Foil Aaron Sele. There were four variations of Sele's MLB Showdown cards that year, and this one I didn't have yet.
1997 Fleer Jose Canseco. I only have two left in this team set now! Jose appears to be admiring a towering foul ball here.
2004 Fleer Tradition David Ortiz. The swing didn't change much over the years, did it? Boom! This team set is now complete!
2006 Upper Deck Jon Lester. There were four cards from the Red Sox 2006 Upper Deck set in the order. Seven more to go!
2007 Upper Deck Manny Ramirez and Hideki Okajima. These and three others in the order bring my want list down to just five. This is a big set! I like the photo of Hideki. He looks like he just saw a quarter on the ground mid delivery. And the shadow looks like a Texas Longhorn.
A couple days ago I got the 2017 Pittsburgh Steelers Donruss team set in the mail. But unfortunately it was missing four cards. I've contacted the seller who says he'll send them right away. We'll see. Every now and then I run into a seller who does something like this. It's been about 50-50 that they make it right. When they arrive, I'll share some pictures.
