A Texas Sized Surprise From A Phillies Fan

On Monday, I received two packages. One, I will get to later today. This one, well... it's time.

The mail came late on Monday. I was hoping that it would save me from a boring afternoon with no internet access. Instead, the mail arrived around 7PM. On a normal day, it ranges between 11AM and 1PM.

This was a package that came out of the blue from Cliff at Capewood's Collections. Was this a holiday present? Was this in response the the cards I sent out spontaneously after his beloved Phillies won the 2008 World Series? I'm not too sure. I love cards in the mail and this cheered me right up.

Thank you, Cliff! This takes a big chunk out of my 2000 want list and nibbles in a few other areas. This is a nice selection! I am impressed with all the 2000 cards. It was smack dab in the middle of my not collecting, so I'm usually amazed when I get cards from that era.

Steve, I'm glad you got the cards. I missed this post the first time around and just saw it today. The cards were more or less in return for the Phils you sent me. And my choice of 2000 was deliberate. I was putting cards away and had the 2000 box out so pulling them was easy.
