Time to get going again

 Well, it looks like I took another blogging break.  This time, it was for better reasons than usual, as I had all three of my kids in town for 4 weeks during the holidays.  Definitely a blast!  But they are all back to their normal lives now, so I suppose I have no good justification for not posting.

So I'll ease back into things with a couple of appreciated holiday season gifts from blogger friends.  First from Fuji.  

The Yogi is the next to last card I need for the 2007 Masterpieces set.  The last one is the Ripken, #92.  There is also another Ripken in the set, #101, which I see all the time.  It's been years without seeing the #92 though.  Weird.

The Kemp is my 173rd Hoops RC of him.  Isn't that crazy???

The McReynolds always takes me back to being 11, playing fake MLB games in my backyard with my brother and keeping stats.  I was the Padres most times, and having someone named Kevin in MLB was a big part of the reason.  Lots of Kevins have come since, but he was my intro.

Fuji also threw in a bunch of other Kemps, these three are ones I liked/needed the most.  Thanks a bunch Fuji!!

And local buddy Gavin gifted me this sweet bleached border McGwire!!  Coincidently, I am up to 1549 unique McGwires in my collection.  

Now that I am back, look forward to an upcoming Pedro Martinez post and a card show recap or two.  I'll be looking for fun stuff to write about too!
