WEEKLY MESSAGES FROM COACH

Wednesday 11/13 - I listed a bunch of Babe Ruth cards this morning and will be listing more tonight. A customer read where I tell my customers that I like helping them out finding kind of off the wall different types of cards that I might have. Lisa P. from New Mexico told me her son was a huge Kieth Hernandez and Willie Randolph fan, and she asked me to please list some of their Met's cards. Her wish is my command, but not just her's. If you or your son/grandson would like me to find similar cards your wish is my command also!!! Just shoot me an email and I will do my best to fill your request.

SUNDAY 11/10 - The new cards arrived sleeved ready to ship so I listed them last night. All 4 are Cracker Jack cards 3 of which are 

Jayden Daniels cards with the other being a Caitlin Clark Fever rookie card. All 4 are border-less with 3 of the 4 having RC emblems. The RC emblems is something new on the Cracker Jack cards. I suggest getting them while you can because these cards will sell out fast. 

WEDNESDAY 11/6 - Last month's Customer Appreciation winners were Amanda J. from Carson City, NV, and Jerry S. from Albany, NY. 

Now I have Good News and Bad News. First the Bad News. As I was getting ready to list all the Freeman, Ruth, Mantle and Judge cards last week I noticed none of them were in penny sleeves, so I drove them over to my grandkids to get sleeved. I got them back yesterday so I will start listing them soon.

Now the Good News. My son was up in the attic trying to find some older cards from the 50's and 60's to no avail, but what he did find was a bonanza of Novelty cards from the 80's and early 90's. Stuff that had me smiling from ear to ear. In one crate was all old Shaq cards from his rookie year, and in another crate was all Baseball Card Kingdom Promo cards some of which I had forgotten all about. Those of you that have been selling the old BCK cards know that the very first cards we had made did not have numbers and were not officially part of the 50 card set. In one of the boxes I found some cards that had the letter "P" in the mouse ears where the numbers would be. These were the same identical cards as the first Promo cards made only instead of being blank they have a P which stood for Promo Card. My General Manager Charles Ware thought the P looked horrible so he switched all the original cards out leaving the mouse ears blank. What a find! Also in one of the boxes were some BCK error cards that I thought were destroyed. They were cards from the 50 card set that were printed without numbers. So you would think they were part of the first Promo cards, but they weren't. One of them is the Mike Tyson card.  One last thing, today I am expecting a bunch of new cards in and as soon as I get them all in sleeves I will get them listed. HAPPY HUNTING TO ALL!

WEDNESDAY 10/30 - I am proud to announce that everything is fixed and running smoothly,,, knock on wood. The search bar is working well, and the dropdown bar is finally perfect so you can find all of the newest listings. Early next week I'm expecting new Cracker Jack cards in, and I will be listing Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, Mickey Mantle, Baker Mayfield rookie cards, Babe Ruth and Aaron Judge cards all week and through the weekend, HAPPY HUNTING!!!

TUESDAY 10/15 - When it rains, it pours. When the hurricane and tornadoes hit us I had to move 3 big metal shelving units to make room for my wife's car in the garage. As luck would have it as I was moving the carts back into place two of the carts had wheels snap off. So I have been out in the garage working my butt off for three days and the new carts are arriving today. This is why there have been no new listings as I had promised. This does not effect ORDERS. All orders placed will be processed and shipped the same day as long as they are placed before our daily USPS pickup.

My guess is I will be done out in the garage by this weekend and then listings will start happening pretty fast. Frank Robinson cards will be the next cards I list. In the meantime there 15,000 other cards for you to choose from. HAPPY HUNTING!!!

THURSDAY 10/10 - Power was just restored and the flooding restricting vehicles from getting in and out of my community is now under control. There will be business as usual starting tomorrow morning. I have had some requests from several customers for listings so I will get on them as quickly as possible. The requests are for Charlie Blackmon, Joe Girardi, Teddy Brushky, Arenado, Joe Namath, Jim McMahon, Gronkowski, Reggie Jackson, Rhonde Barber and Stan Musial cards. If you have any requests please email them to me and I will work hard filling your requests within 48 hours.

TUESDAY 10/8 - Due to the Hurricane coming right for Orlando the USPS pickup was early today, and a couple of orders did not get picked up. They have already canceled mail pickups for tomorrow, and common sense tells me there will be no pickups on Thursday as well. Depending on power outages and flooding I can't say with any level of certainty if and when the next pickup will be. Just know that you will get your cards as quickly as we recover from the Hurricane. Thanks for understanding, Coach H.

FRIDAY 10/4 - This saddens me to tell you this, but there will be no new website. It ended up with me getting a full refund, but once again I stuck my neck out trusting people only to get scammed. That's the bad news, but there is some good news. With Go Daddy's help I was able to get this website back from being held hostage, and guess what? The search bar that was broken is now working wonderfully. So for now I am holding off my plans for a bigger better website and I will be concentrating on getting as many cards listed as I can. Happy Hunting, and thank you for sticking with us through these frustrating past months.

THURSDAY 10/3 - The Customer Appreciation winners for September are Don Weiss from Saginaw MI, and Kelly Johnston from Reno NV.  Don will receive 50% off on all his orders until January !st, and Kelly won the Awesome Card drawing which was a Graded Randy Jonson rookie card. Congratulations to both Don and Kelly. Something new is we will be selling various cards for .50 and .25. Take Care, and Happy Hunting!!!

TUESDAY 9/3 - The Customer Appreciation winners for August are Freddie K from San Francisco, CA, and Brian I. from Alexander City, AL. Freddie will receive 50% off on all his orders until January !st, and Brian won the Awesome Card drawing which was a Authenticated one of a kind Mickey Mantle TCMA Error Card. Congratulations to both Freddy has been buying from me for many years, and Brian has been with me for around 3 years. Thursday we will be receiving four new Cracker Jack cards, Jayden Daniels, Marvin Harrison, Malik Nabers, andGunnar Henderson. Something else that will be new on the new website is I will be selling various cards for .50 and .25. Take Care, and Happy Hunting!!!

THURSDAY 8/1 - This month I changed the monthly contest to a drawing using old business cards with one being drawn out of a bin as the winner. For every $50 spent each customer gets their name on a business card. This month's (July) winner for 50% off the rest of the year is Dann V. from Pennsylvania. The "Awesome Card" winner is James P. from Arizona. A big CONGRATULATIONS to both.

MONDAY 7/1 - We had 2 winners in the Customer Appreciation contest for June. Steve S. from California, and the Grand Prize winner Gerry M. from Indiana. Both receive 50% off for the rest of the year and Gerry receives a graded Griffey Rookie Card valued at $130.00

I'll be changing the format a little this month to get more people involved winning prizes.
