Great buy on that, those are tough to come by for sure. I've got an order that should be shipping soon that I've been waiting months for, like you not overly worried about ship times for baseball cards in these crazy times, but still anxiously awaiting it!shoeboxlegendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11642879419337014960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-24519029638652064782021-02-06T16:37:22.533-06:002021-02-06T16:37:22.533-06:00Fantastic stuff.

Pre-pandemic, I normally got around 100 cards a month from them so as to take advantage of the $5 credit you get for shipping cards. Unfortunately, they stopped the bonus credit last April when Washington was shut down. But they made the point of stating that the credit was only temporarily suspended. At this point, I have waited this long, so I might as well wait long enough to get the $40 bonus credit. I plan on using whatever binus credit I get for a single card or two that I have just not had the gumption to pay for. 1964 Topps Pete Rose probably tops my list. Either that or a Larry Walker auto. Maybe both depending on how long they take to reinstate the darn credit.<br /><br />Love the Seaver, BTW.hiflewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07128126188366882765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-27782125527384459142021-02-03T18:21:57.193-06:002021-02-03T18:21:57.193-06:00All kinds of goodies in there.All kinds of goodies in there.Johnnys Trading Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202597965281782849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-10753812939624024262021-02-03T18:16:50.950-06:002021-02-03T18:16:50.950-06:00Wow,a ton of awesome cards there.
