It's been a while since I had selected a few freebies on Kerry's blog, so I had forgotten that I had done so. That means that I was surprised to open up the package from Kerry and find some really cool Angels-related stuff. It also means I probably owe him something in return.
I did a big mailing at the start of the year, and planned on doing another around mid-year. Wouldn't you know it, mid-year has come and gone. Good thing I keep a log of who has sent me stuff. Hopefully I can get going on my second round of mailings soon.
1990 Baseball Cards Magazine #49-51
Kerry had a bunch of oversized stuff he was giving away included some sheet cards. I love sheet cards, and I do whatever it takes to keep from cutting them. I even had my wife use her sewing machine once to sew a sheet protector into two vertical halves so I could store two cards sheets in it. She understands me.
1987 Topps Box Panels, Panel G-H
Always nice to see an Angel on a box bottom panel. These were smaller than the standard card size, more like mini size.

1991 Baseball Cards Magazine #46-48
The Cobra only had a brief stay with the Halos (119 games in 1991) but he managed to make it onto one of the Baseball Cards Magazine sheets as an Angel.

1990 Topps Magazine #TM19
Like I said, I don't like to cut up card sheets to separate the Angels, so I'll have to keep an eye out for this full 8-card sheet.

Nice assortment of current Angels cards, which is great because packs of cards are still scarce around here. And I dont live in the boonies, I'm in the DFW metroplex. I went out again today to find cards and came up short.

2009 Upper Deck Team USA National Team USAB-MD
Picking off cards from these 2008 USA Team sets I'm building is about the going rate, so I'm always thankful to get even one.
Like I said, I'm hoping to start my second round of mailings soon, but please don't anyone hold your breath!
