It's good to have connections in the hobby. Especially when it's one that is very generous, such as Wes from the Willinghammer Rising blog. I was fortunate to be one of the few that received one of his "trade retirement" packages recently.
Wes had asked me about my Larry Fitzgerald PC, and how many cards I was looking to have of him. I hoped to eventually have 200 cards (hoped being the key term here), and Wes took that as a challenge.
I'm more than halfway there now. Wes sent a 100 card count plastic case filled with Fitz cards.
He also knows my affinity for serial #'d cards, so there were half a dozen in there mixed in with all the base.
From the early returns on the Fitz lot, there is a ton of Panini product that I've missed over the years. From what I've seen so far I really like what I've missed over the years, largely because it's very colorful (another weakness of mine).
Flipped through the lot a 2nd time while writing this post and found a couple more serial #'d cards. The Franchise card is # 155/499.
So between my original buy of 35 cards, Wes' near 100 count lot, and 2 more purchases of lots on ebay, I'm guessing that the 200 goal has probably been reached already.
Not bad for 2 weeks worth, eh Captain?
Thank you Wes! The cards are very much appreciated.
Thanks for reading, Robert
Awesome batch of cards from Wes!
