Mail Day #5 - Wednesday, July 20th, 2011

In the mail today I received a total of 4 cards once again 3 autograph cards and an insert. Here's the scans and details of the cards.


CARD #1
Player: Jonathan Stewart
Set: 2011 Donruss Elite Down and Distance Jersey Autograph
Brand: Elite
Team: Carolina Panthers
Card Number:  19
Serial Number:  11/25
Attributes: Jersey, Auto, #'ed
Manufacturer: Panini
Acquired Via: eBay.com


My Thoughts:
One of my first autograph pickups of Jonathan Stewart as far as 2011 products go. This one features a small circular jersey swatch as well as a nicely signed autograph in black ink. J. Stew's auto seems to be all of the place in regards to positioning on the sticker, but I think he got it smack dab in the center for this one which is great. The card design is okay, nothing groundbreaking or amazing.  

 

CARD #2
Player: Tyler Anderson & Scott McGough
Set: 2010 Bowman Sterling Team USA Dual Autograph
Brand: Bowman Sterling
Team: Team USA Collegiate National Team
Card Number:  BSDA-19
Serial Number:  57/99
Attributes: Dual Auto, #'ed, Refractor
Manufacturer: Topps
Acquired Via: eBay.com



My Thoughts: Another Bowman Sterling dual autograph of Anderson and McGough, a great card and I figured I'd add another since the prices are low. McGough just started his career in the minors and I believe Anderson has yet to sign a deal with the Rockies.



CARD #3
Player: Tyler Anderson
Set: 2010 Bowman Platinum Jersey Autograph Refractor
Brand: Bowman Platinum
Team: Team USA Collegiate National Team
Card Number:  PAR-TA
Serial Number: 094/740
Attributes: Jersey, Auto, #'ed, Refractor
Manufacturer: Topps
Acquired Via: eBay.com


My Thoughts: Just like yesterdays mail, here's another Tyler Anderson Bowman Platinum Base Refractor Jersey Autograph. Nothing new to add about this card besides the fact that I picked up multiples.



 
CARD #4
Player: Ed Dickson
Set: 2010 Panini Gridiron Gear Silver X's
Brand: Gridiron Gear
Team: Baltimore Ravens
Card Number:  189
Serial Number: 202/250
Attributes: #'ed, RC
Manufacturer: Panini
Acquired Via: eBay.com


My Thoughts: Always good to find a new Ed Dickson to add to the collection since he didn't have a whole lot of cards produced last year. There are X and O variations for these gridiron gear rookie parallels, hopefully I can get one of each version.






Mail Day Grade: B
In the mail today I received a nice Jonathan Stewart autograph as well as some multiples of cards I already own of Tyler Anderson and Scott McGough. Perhaps, if they ever spike in prices and make it to the show I'll have to consider selling them since I have purchased quite a few already. The addition of the Ed Dickson card was cool due to the limited amount of cards he has. I'd have to go with a overall grade on today's mail of a B, mostly because I got a very nice 2011 Jonathan Stewart Auto, first one of the year I believe.


As Always, feel free to share your grade for today's mail along with any other comments or questions.
