OK I got a bit behind this month. I was on vacation the first week of the month (from 28 June to 02 July) so I had my mail held until Saturday 05 July. So this covers maildays from late June Until around Tuesday 08 July 2014. I don't recall all the specifics price wise or exact mailing days.

Before I left I had two of those pink you have a package" notices. One slip was for a huge box of random basketball cards for my team lots giveaway bait. I have since also gotten a large box of baseball cards as well.

The other slip was for a flat box that stumped me about what the contents were, but it was from "Five Tool Collector" Commishbob. He had emailed me that he had something for me. It turned out to be an 11x17 2014 Topps Don Zimmer is My Hero poster. Bob had purchased a Brooks Robinson is My Hero poster and Topps sent him the Zimmer as well but only charged him for the Robinson one. Very cool geste on Bob's part.

I also got Issue 284 of The Wrapper - 1959 Paladin (Rinso Soap) cover.
