Astros From a Junkie

It’s been a busy couple of weeks at the mailbox for me, and that’s been pretty awesome. The busyness, though, has kept me from posting – which is a problem because I really want to make sure to properly thank everyone who is kind enough to send something my way.

Last week – Friday I think, but I’ve lost track at this point – I checked the mailbox and found a package stamped all over with Mariners logos. I figured I knew who’d sent it – The Junior Junkie – but I couldn’t figure out why.

Then I remembered I’d sent him a stack of movie and Desert Storm cards, and it all made sense. Inside his decorative package was a nice stack of ‘Stros which have found a home here in Domeland. Look at that Great Scott. Man, I do love me some oddballs, as you probably know by now.

Now here are a couple bright prospects that hopefully have bright futures with us as well. These scanned pretty well – the background and orange in the border are brighter in hand of course – but they just look simply amazing. Also, I think I’m getting a little bit better at scanning these shiny cards after figuring out a trick or two with my scanner.

TJ, thanks for the swell stack in the mail! I have a couple cards set aside for you as another thanks.
