(Nov. 29th) Well I haven’t been able to go to any local shows recently, so I’ve just been spending money on my truck and many other things. I recently decided to get into some baseball cards and wanted to rip some packs and boxes and decided to pick up a 2024 Topps Update Hanger box and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I opened it. (Fun fact: I was sitting in the Texas Roadhouse parking lot waiting for a table)
First it was the Paul Skenes Rookie card so I knew I was in for a treat! Then I got to the back of the pack and see the “Topps Black and Gold” and then I see the famous “Paul Skenes”, I turned the card around and see the /299. I freaked out and was going crazy! This card is 1:448 boxes! Wow! Got my moneys worth and basically paid for my dinner! Thank you Walmart…
(Nov. 30th) The day after that I went down to Richmond to see my uncle for the weekend and got some surprises from him, got a brand new display case for my local card shows, some bears cards, and some other stuff for my collection. I think he has better luck finding bears cards than I do. (Dec. 1st) So the day after I went down to see him there was a card show in Midlothian and I had nothing better to do so I decided to tag along for the ride. My uncle’s friend Blake was setting up at the show and wanted us to help him with his booth. We got there pretty early so we got to do some pre-digging in the boxes before it got packed in there, I found a good dime box and decided to dig in it.
Didn’t think I would find anything like this, first row was full of these 2024 Topps Holiday cards and found a couple good rookies. I knew some of the big name players and found the Wyatt Langford Silver parallel and got that for a steal and a couple other rookies as show in the picture.
Then me and Ryan found “the shiny box” as it was named and it sure did show us shinny! Ryan was digging and I was digged and I couldn’t find a single bears card but kept on finding orioles cards for him and he kept finding Bears cards!!! He found every card I need for the bears collection. I know if I was the one digging in the boxes I wouldn’t have found them with my luck.
First was the 2024 Topps Composite Football (my favorite set) Charles Tillman disco. Then a couple cards after that he found a Equanimeoud St. Brown /100!!! Wow!!!! He has more luck than I have in finding bears cards.
Towards the end of the show Blake was generous enough to give me two Justin fields cards which were both PSA graded cards. I was having conversations with him the entire day about Justin Fields and how much I admire him. So these cards are definitely going to a good home with me!!! 
I made my day when he handed me those cards! I’ve been looking for the Pink Camo card and now I have it in my hands! He had so many Justin fields Autographs I wanted but I can’t afford them at the moment. But I will definitely buy them when I can! I want to thank him again for giving me them cards! After we packed up it was time for me and Ryan to head back to his house and get me back up the road.
Overall an amazing trip and I enjoyed every second of it with my uncle. I can’t wait until the next card show me and him go to! The night I got home I sat in the sports room and put every single card away and put them on my checklist! Took me a while but I’m glad I found what I needed! I also wanna thank my uncle for letting me stay at his house and spend the weekend away from the house. It really got my mind off of things.
But I think it’s time for me to go find more bears cards for the next blog! Until next time! BEAR DOWN!!!!!!!
