I'll start showing off my Sportlots stuff over here next time but first I wanted to make sure I posted a couple eBay cards I scored from a seller who had a pair of cards I sent in
my latest trade package for Doug. After all, combined shipping rules!
Enjoy this cool pair of
football hits:
First up is my third autograph (and fourth hit overall) of star TE Jake Butt, one I scored for about $3. This one comes from last year's Panini Contenders product and is his base auto RC version, not to be confused his
other base auto, #253, or Contenders Draft Picks, for that matter. As usual it's got a nice design going for it including the usual ticket motif. Since card backs don't usually get much love I like that some of his key info is right up front, such as his hometown of Pickerington, Ohio, a place that produced his teammate Taco Charlton among other former Wolverines.
Here's hoping for a healthy year for J-Booty after a 2017 lost to injury.
As for co-host #2 on a radio show that totally needs to happen, that would be
Denard Robinson. The former spark plug QB
recently joined former teammate Devin Gardner in the CFL and I hope he gets to show off his many talents there. Going back to his former NFL dreams here he is on an autographed version of Panini's Rookies and Stars Slideshow (#41/91) from his rookie year of 2013. Of course I love adding an autograph of one of my favorites but even without the ink I'd be a fan of this one having enjoyed the origin of the Slideshow name way back in the 90s with Leaf. It's a great way to make a card stand out with so many autographs out there, and I'd say it's a pretty nice compromise between on-card and sticker autographs.
A bit more than $4 was enough to let me add this, card #85 and hit #39, to Shoelace's collection, with a few more on the way from Sportlots.
And speaking of that site, watch for lots of posts covering those pickups soon!
