I’ve been having a rough go of it since my last post. I had a doctor visit a couple weeks ago, just a check-up and to get the ball rolling on scheduling my first colonoscopy. Damn it, I should have masked up. A few days later I got a scratchy throat, and next thing you know I’m dealing with flu-like symptoms. Seems I finally got the covid 19. At this point, I’m just dealing with a lingering cough, and hoping my senses of smell and taste fully return soon. It really sucks not being able to enjoy eating like I used to! My wife soon caught it from me, but at least she was up on her shots, so she didn’t get it that bad and retained all her senses.
Anyways, I’ve been meaning to get this post published for a week or so but haven’t been feeling “social” enough to get it to the end zone. Sorry to these guys for the delay in acknowledgement, but I got some cards– nineteen cards, in fact, which helps justify the post title– from friends of the blog to post about.
Zippy let me know in the comments of my previous post that I had more cards on the way from Japan, and sure enough they arrived shortly thereafter.
Oh yeah! Here’s Yumi Sugimoto and Yu Darvish both looking really nice.
Happy to see rookie cards of current Red Sock Walker Buehler and current Padre Jose Iglesias.
And a selection of Rockies signatures.
Thank you again, Kenny!

It’s a bunch of Gavins, providing some PC additions for me. Williams has had a rough start, while Sheets has been playing well and Stone is still injured.
Thanks for thinking of me when you pull Gavins, AJ!

Yeah, Greg generously did another giveaway where the first few commenters could pick from his recent customs, and although he has a bunch of cool stuff available, I requested the ’74-style RHCP card, effectively undoing the earlier cold outcome of the randomizer. They’ve lost me with the past few albums, but up to and including By The Way have some dynamite tunes. Sentimental attachment too, as back in the early 90s, but best friend’s favorite band was the Red Hot Chili Peppers and they were the first big “rock show” I attended live, back at the San Diego Sports Arena on the One Hot Minute tour.
Thanks, Greg! If you ever wanna swap customs/cardart, just let me know.
