A Great Projected Trade Of Autographic Proportions

I think that I'm finally over the sinus trouble. Kinda sounds like a Marx Brothers movie. The Marx Brothers in Sinus Trouble, with Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush as the Mucous Man!

A weekend filled with "interesting" Halloween parties further pushed this along. Finally, I will be thanking Ryan from The Great Orioles Autograph Project properly.

This amazingly huge package arrives in the mail. It overwhelmed me with its sheer immensity. I had to pop myself a diet root beer. You see, once I unraveled that sucker, I bet it would stretch all the way to Fargo, North Dakota. OK, maybe if I were standing in Kragnes it would, but still, it was a good amount of cards!

A lot were cards that I already had, but that's OK. I can put those into my White Sox recycling program. It's a win/win situation! Let's see what cards I that were brand spanking new to me or ones that piqued my interest.

Thank you, Ryan! All of the cards were awesome! I'm particularly impressed with the 2004 Topps First Edition cards. Usually parallels like those slip right through my fingers.

I will be loading up the boxes you sent with goodies and sending them your way soon!
