COMC haul #11: Darrell brings the WOW factor. PLUS: free lots mail update

(Note:  all COMC haul posts can be accessed here)

Free lots shipping update:

Yes, I finally got the rest of these out (minus Fuji's, since we'll be trading soon, and the Tigers/Lions, since I still need an address from "jeffrey").  I had intended to get them all in the mail on Sunday but my local PO's APC was down and the downtown PO didn't even have the lobby (where the APC is) open, so forget about that.  I did spend enough time wrapping up 11 packages of cards (including stuff for Tim as well) on Saturday that I was pretty much sick of it, but in the end I'm thrilled to have gotten rid of this many cards and gotten them into better hands.  I went through a bunch of bubble mailers and boxes, nearly all my team bags (and I had a LOT), more than a roll of blue card-shipping tape, and plenty of money on postage, but I hope it's been worth it to each of you as much as it has been to me, so thanks again to all who participated.

I lost my APC receipts somehow so I'm not 100% on this list, but going from memory and my traders' address list, I believe the following ZIPs can expect cards this week, many within a couple days since a lot went via Priority:

45223
98662
13601
99504
21921
60060
71203
19087
43135
12967
13090

If you're on that list, time to get excited!

Onto the COMC haul:
Speaking of mail, here's a card that was actually part of my Black Friday COMC package and not the one I had shipped earlier.  That may seem like going out of order, but it was a Tiger I was excited about and I can only come up with so much other stuff before throwing more Freehan and Larkin at you.  So here's one of my favorite cheapies (relatively, anyway) that I picked up this time:

Darrell Evans 2003 Topps Retired Signature auto

What's better than one Darrell Evans Topps Retired Signature auto?  Try TWO!  One of my favorite 1984 World Champion Tigers, Darrell is a guy whose stuff I keep an eye out for once in a while, so this was a perfect opportunity to grab a player I like to collect from a set I love to collect.  Again, Topps is the proverbial blind squirrel finding an acorn with this outstanding set.  I may do up a post soon covering the stuff Topps has done that I like so I can balance out some of my usual antagonism towards the ToppsOpoly.

More to come sometime this week!
