Mail Day 4/26/2012: TTMs and a Cool Pedroia Card

4/26/2012

It figures that minutes after I post my first entry, the mailman arrives and brought some COOL stuff!  I wanted to make sure I shared my Mail Day returns with all of my readers.

The first package contained the 2012 Topps Dustin Pedroia World Series Pin card that I won off eBay.  Really fast shipping, thanks thag3537!  I wanted to add this card to my personal collection as he's my favorite current Red Sox player.  Being a collector of BGS 9.5s, my concern with submitting raw cards is that they will grade lower and I won't be as happy with the card.  After speaking with a representative at Beckett, I have decided to start submitting some raw cards of my favorite players and ask for them to be graded ONLY if they are a 9.5 or better.  Otherwise, I'll ask them to just encapsulate it with the "Authentic" slab.  This one's going to Beckett.....

The second package is a Through The Mail (TTM) return of Kevin Van Dam (bass fisherman).  My favorite card set is Topps Allen & Ginter and I have recently decided to use my extras as an opportunity to collect TTM autographs.  Pretty quick return from KVD, thanks!

The third package is a TTM return from Joey Votto!  I was psyched to get this back as he's one of the best players in the game today.  He signed one of the two cards that I sent, and the non-signed card got dinged up in transit.  The signed card came back in pretty good condition, either way it's in my PC so I'm happy with the return!

Until next time....
