The blogosphere has blessed us with some talented custom card creators. One of them celebrated his birthday yesterday. Happy belated birthday Gavin!
Back in November he showed of some custom Christmas tree ornaments he created and offered up for sale. I'm not always able to send supersized care packages to fellow bloggers, so I figured purchasing a couple from his eBay store would show my appreciation for his creativity... while adding a unique Rickey Henderson item to my collection:
1991 Donruss #648
He also tossed in this custom Christmas Gwynn as a bonus:
Speaking of special days... in addition to people around the world celebrating Jesus' birthday... I wanted to celebrate the Man of Steal's birthday. Happy birthday Rickey!
My thoughts go out to his family and friends. As a fan of his who is still trying to wrap my brain around him being gone... I can only imagine what those who were close to him are going through during this holiday season.
I'll wrap things up with two recent additions to my Henderson PC:
2022 Topps Allen & Ginger Mini A&G Back #12
2024 Topps Update 1989 Topps Baseball #89US-41
Both of these were included in a box of cards from John over at Johnny's Trading Spot. I'll be showing off more stuff from his care package over the next week or so. And if you stopped by to see the final four presents in Ryan's advent calendar... I'll be sharing that tomorrow.
But right now, I'm heading over to my brother's house for Christmas morning breakfast to spend some quality time with loved ones.
Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and sayonara!
