The Start To An Awesome Mail Week!

I took a break from blogging last week because of school work, and it really payed off. Algebra 1 has been a struggle for me in my last year of middle school, but after all that hard work, I finally got a good grade on my math test! It may be the best feeling besides listening to the sound of a wood bat making contact with a baseball. That sound is heaven. Now onto the main part of the post, the card:

Sandy Koufax 2013 Topps tier one rose ink autograph /25! Koufax has been on my want list for awhile now, and I was finally able to acquire an autograph of the legendary pitcher. Although I'm not a Dodgers fan, it's hard not to like someone that posted a 1.86 ERA with 97 wins in the last 4 years of his career. I will gladly welcome Koufax to my Hall Of Fame collection! This will probably be the only Koufax autograph I'll have in my collection, unless I decide to sell it and buy a Jeter autograph, which I don't think I'll be doing. I'm not sure if this'll be going to BGS next week, mainly because the edges are a bit rough, and I'm thinking this card is a 9/10 at the highest.

Greg Maddux 2015 Triple Threads Deca Booklet eBay Win

So far, I've really liked 2015 Topps Triple Threads. I hated last years, and I wasn't too fond of 2015 Triple Threads, but this year, Topps really has me hooked. The design is pretty much the same, but the patches are better, there are less stickers, and the deca booklets are awesome. Last night, I was surfing eBay to check some 2015 Triple Threads cards, and I came across a few deca booklets, one of them being this Greg Maddux /10.

The bid wasn't that high, with only a few hours left, so I decided to put a max bid of ($) on this awesome card. It's numbered only out of 10, and even though that the autograph is not on card, the trifold aspect, and the patches definitely make up for that. This card features Maddux with a Cubs uniform on, and even though I'd rather have him on the Braves, this card is still really cool. A few hours later, as I was listening to the Cubs game, the bid went up quite a bit, but I still remained the highest, and I ended up winning the auction! I'm really happy with the card, and this will be the Maddux that I keep in my collection, unless I'm able to snag a better one of him in a Braves uniform. I'm just wondering where I'll be able to get a magnetic for this card, because I definitely don't want to grade it, and have the card in one of those gigantic BGS booklet cases...
