From Ebay on Tuesday 28 April 2015: A deck of playing cards came in $4.74 Free Shipping Lady Bligh Spiced Rum Playing Cards. Seems to be some kind of sister brand to Captain Morgan Spiced Rum. Lady Bligh comes in three flavors Regular Spiced Rum, Coconut Rum, and Cherry Spiced Rum. I think the deck I got the other day the Blackheart rum Playing cards might be an imitator to Lady Bligh. I don't know the liquor business well enough to know. I just like the logos which is why I got the decks. Plus they were cheap enough.

Monday 27 April, 2015 Mailday: Mix of more Sportlots and Ebay purchases.
Sportlots Orders: Package 1: 5 cards at .18¢ each + $1.21 shipping. 2010 Topps Baseball Million Card Giveaway Code Cards: TMC-1 Roy Campanella Dodgers (2) TMC-2 Gary Carter Expos (2) TMC-4 Ichiro Suzuki Mariners
Package 2: 1 card at .18¢ + .95¢ shipping 2014-15 Panini NBA Hoops Basketball 295 Nick Johnson RC Rockets – Yes a third sports athlete named Nick Johnson for me to collect.
Package 3: 2 cards .18¢ each + $1.60 shipping 1968 Topps Baseball Game Inserts: 20 Tony Gonzalez Phillies 28 Rusty Staub Astros These two cards complete my set for the Game Inserts.
Ebay Orders: Package 4: 2 cards $13.99 Free Shipping 1970-71 Fleer Baseball Trivia Quiz Washington Senators Logo cards one 2 questions, one 3 questions blank backs
Package 5: 1 card $1.00 + $2.00 shipping 2004 Donruss Leather and Lumber: Fans of the Game: FG-3 Chris O’Donnell Cubs
Package 6: 2 “cards” items $1.00 + $1.00 shipping 2005 Washington Nationals inaugural Season Pocket Schedule sponsored by McDonalds
Package 7: 1 card $2.69 Free Shipping 2006 Inkworks Charmed Destiny Promo Card P-UK
Package 8: 1 card $2.00 + $3.00 shipping 2004 Inkworks Charmed Connections Promo Card Piper CC-UK Weird listing “location” was United States, but it came from the UK. Upon closer examination the listing description says: “Domestic postage to the UK in this auction is up to $50 in value, Recorded Delivery $2.50, over $50 Special Delivery $8 International Postage to anywhere outside the UK is International signed for service $8 over $50 in value $12. THE CARD WILL BE SHIPPED FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM” I didn’t pay attention to that part, no biggie since the shipping cost was reasonable and it was delivered quickly enough. Shows you have to check more than just the “location”. The seller is either a huge international seller, or is pulling a fast one over Ebay getting around some kind of shipping costs/rules.

On Saturday 18 April 2015: I had a one package mailday from sportlots for just .25¢ for a lot of 10 cards plus an ugly $4.00 shipping I got: 2010 Topps Baseball Million Cards Give-A-Way Code Cards: TMC-21 though TMC-30 for some odd reason 4 of them have blue sharpie across the code, I guess the original owner would mark off the code once they entered them. Kind of stinks for the second hand owner. but whatever. I do want to get the rest of these cards. Actually I have an art project in mind for these so I will need multiples of each card eventually.
OH I almost forgot the seller used some 1988 Donruss Diamond King puzzle pieces for end protectors in the team bag. So from the 1988 Donruss Baseball Diamond King: Stan Musial Puzzle Card 43-45 and Card 46-48

On Monday 13 April 2015: I got 2 packages one was a bubble mailer in my mailbox and the other was a treasure box waiting on the doormat by my apartment door.
The bubble mailer was an Ebay win of a 1970 Topps Football Glossy Insert 2 Johnny Unitas Colts - $4.49 + $2.32 shipping
The other was a treasure box with a mix of cards from my PC teams and some 90s baseball from Blogger Bo Rosny in his mega trade-a-thon. Now I need to check out his blog to figure out what to send his way.
