Thanks! And if there’s anything I can send your way, please let me know!

USPS seems to be slowing up again. Must be all the tax returns.



Up to 33 2020 golds. Some bigger fish coming in soon, shipping issues notwithstanding.

Thanks for the looks, and please let me know if you have anything for my collection!

Two more in today. And one that USPS says was delivered but certainly was not. Hopefully here tomorrow.



2021 Green Ice #3. 2021 Gold #18. Two full pages!

Thanks for the looks, and as always, keep a look out for me!

So usps said one of these was delivered 2 days ago. It showed up today. But hey at least it showed up at all!

TK has a new toppsnow card. Didn’t check if has any of that fad NFT stuff. I mean I wouldn’t buy any anyway, but always curious.

Today’s mail is....



2021 70th #6 and 2018 black #9. Seems a lot of folks are sitting on 2018 update as an investment for some reason (can’t imagine why). Makes getting parallels all that tougher. But nice to get a “full page”

I am debating going from binder to 600ct box. I’m at around 350 serial numbered cards (and a decent chunk of unnumbered and oddball). I think eight sleeves it would be easier to organize, and take out and look at an all. But also there’s just something nice about a binder. Thoughts from the peanut gallery?

Thanks for the looks and keep checking your boxes for Kemp!

Vote here for the binder, although it's close. For mine, it's been great to lay out PC stuff on pages to look at, especially for a 9-card page of parallels of the same card. Feels like they don't always stay in precisely though, which worried me on higher-value cards, so took most of those out. Then the binder becomes not quite as interesting, and it's kind of back to square one?

I keep all my PC stuff in binder as is, including 1/1s and supers and all. It’s more a matter of finding a binder big enough haha. And because some day I’m gonna put them in serial number order...someday

I store 99% of my cards in a binder, even the 1/1's. I just really enjoy looking at my cards that way - always have. I'd say stick with a binder for your Kemp's!

[Drew3000]

Personally never been a big fan of binders.

[VandyCards]

Mail has been slow here. Some cool stuff coming, and a massive comc order at some point before the next election. A’s doing well. Not a ton of Tony Kemp sightings but the year is young.



2021 Mothers Day #5. Still only 1 Father’s Day. Weird how that happens sometimes.

Thanks for the looks, and should have some cool stuff on the horizon. No NFTs, but I’m old.

Am guessing you saw this but just in case:

[VandyCards]

Been a while, huh? Mail has been super slow here. Some good stuff coming but taking the scenic route I guess.

These came in yesterday




Green Ice 4 and Indy 6. Still not sold on this year’s Indy design but I’m sure it’ll grow on me. I think I disliked 2018 Base when it came out too and it’s a classic now. This is Indy 01/76. eBay 1/1 lol.

Also got these in. Not cards, obviously, but something I’ve decided to add some of.




3 MLB authenticated game used hit balls. Two doubles and a single. This might be my next collecting focus, though a bit more pricey.

Thanks as always for the looks and keep an eye out for Kemp stuff!

Something new today! Not sure how many of these I’ll be able to track down as I’d imagine they mostly get kept by collectors. There is another on eBay but just a touch higher than I can swing.



2021 Rip Party Parallel /10. First. Hopefully not the last!

Anyone got any leads on cool Kemp stuff, please reach out!

Well, usps slow, and not a whole lot out there to bid on. Also comc seems to have just straight up forgotten that I ordered some cards express rushed. Well, things happen.

Also, getting some cards in happens too.



2017 Mothers Day #3. Red Ice #2. Vintage stock #5. Up to 365 serial numbered cards. One for every day! Maybe tomorrow I’ll get one in for leap years.

Thanks for the looks, and keep checking your dollar boxes!

Nice to see more adds. The rip party is a cool addition, hadn’t seen those before

Thanks! And yeah pretty interesting parallel. Very nondescript. Not sure how many will actually make it out there.

Been quite a while. Delayed mail, not much on eBay, etc. but...




2021 Gold #19.

Word on the street is that my COMC order that was supposed to ship 5/7 finally shipped last week. Should make for a large update.

Also thinking about taking out all my Memorial Day parallels for tomorrow. Any takers?
