Thanks cwazzy & fergie23 (59 Topps/2008 Heritage)

Barfvader

Received two packages in the mail today.

Picked up a nice lot of 59's from Chris (cwazzy) as I have always loved that set and the Heritage is from the box rip that Robb (fergie23) posted on his thread.



I had wanted to purchase another lot from him (58's) along with some 57's but someone beat me to the 58's. The 57's I really wanted one of the cards and that worked out as someone wanted the others in the lot and after a few PM's back and forth we arrived at a transaction (thanks for the patience Chris).

Along with the 59's was included the 57 I wanted and a few other nice surprises.



Great stuff.

Now some might be wondering about the John Edwards card. I had asked Chris if I could purchase that from his 62 lot and he added it as a freebie. My reasoning behind wanting it is my Grandfathers name was John Edwards and my Uncles name is John Edwards (no relation to the ball player) and it would go with the others I have of him (got 1963 and 1974) and be added to a players with my last name collection.

The Heritage (a freebie) is a great addition to the 59's and a nice start on a set (184 different). I had several opportunities to pick up Heritage last year but I just rarely purchase new packs/boxes and walked on by.

So thank you to both Chris and Robb for adding to my ever growing collection.

Banks card arrived along with a couple extras.



The extras were not necessary but very much appreciated.

Thanks Chris.

Took me a slight second (think it's been to cold and my brain is froze).

I have a closet Frank Joseph Thomas collection. An FJT model 34 oz Wilson bat auto'd, a cool baseball with multiple inscriptions, '58 Sports Illustrated, some cards and such.

Barfvader

I think this is my first card with Frank Joseph Thomas on it.

These would probably be my best Frank Edward Thomas cards I own.



Just noticed I am slightly older than he is.
Frank: May 27, 1968
Me: May 8, 1968

I think I need to dig around and see what I have for Thomas cards and start a new player collection.

BunchOBull

He and Jeff Bagwell were born on the same day!

Is that Star auto officially release through them?

Barfvader

Yeah I purchased a couple lots of autographed cards from Star Co. back in the 90's.

Edited to add: COA

Cool, thanks for the info.
