A Surprise Mail Day
 

Received a unexpected priority package on Saturday. It was from Ripping Wax Inc. Although there was no cover letter, I assume that my name was selected by one of the raffles in which I was entered, while attending the National earlier this month.
I've already received a winner in a free basketball raffle; which produced a Kobe AU card among the winnings. The fun of all of this is the unexpected, and randomness of me receiving these items.

Saturday's package included two 8x10 Autographed pictures, and two Silver Panini Breaker packs. The 8x10's are Jose Canseco, and Jadeveon Clowney. The silver packs produced four 2016 NSCC Panini cards all #/5; Stephen Strasburg, Iker Casillas, Kobe Bryant, and Delanie Walker.

Here are scans of the baseball items........any imperfections are due to my scanner. enjoy:)!

In 1980 there were uncut sheets (folded in three panels) that featured only the team cards. They were on thinner stock and had a lighter back just like your card. Maybe it's a proof from those sheets. I doubt I still have any, but if I run across them I'll post a pic.

PSA showed up with some gems today! And some not-so-gems.

Thanks to a good friend I picked a card I have been looking for at a reasonable price for several years. A 1989 Fleer Bill Ripken White Scribble version. I have had several of this version with the sawcut but this is my first regular one.:)

That's the other acronym PSA stand for "Please Submit Again" and it seems they like to use it quite regularly. :D

Great pickup Ben! Still, a very underrated version!
