This morning, I arrived at work and discovered a big white envelope inside of my mailbox. Matthew over at Number 5 Type Collection shipped a bunch of baseball cards to my school.
Last week he held a Spring Training Giveaway and I was fortunate enough to get two teams: San Francisco Giants (for my students) & San Diego Padres (for my collection).
Here's a snapshot at what I received:
San Francisco Giants
San Diego Padres
I was really stoked to find this Swinging Friar card in the stack. Usually I buy specific singles, instead of packs and boxes... so these cool lower end cards don't usually make their way into my collection.
Thanks Matthew... both my students and I really appreciate your generosity.
Have a great week everyone... and sayonara!

That Friar is amazing! I love the mascot cards.
Me too... that's one of my favorite subsets.
Sweet Friar!
I thought you'd appreciate that card too... Go Padres!
Super cool mascot card. Actually, I wasn't yet familiar with such cards but Jaybarkerfan was JUST telling me about them. But...
The Jake Peavy UD in the throwback uniform...what...card...is...that? Must...obtain...immediately...!

Hey Padres Zombie... just shot you an email and the card you're referring to is #369 from the 2008 Upper Deck baseball set. Best of luck on grabbing that card. You might want to check out Sportlots or Check Out My Cards.
