The Man That Keeps The Hobby Alive

Everyone in The Hobby knows of Wax Heaven and its proprietor, Mario Alejandro. Mr. Wax Heaven himself has yet again outdone himself, but the favor will most definitely be returned.

Mario designed the Tulo Trader logo/banner while assisting me in a number of other things from blogging to dealing with the card companies. I sent over some Jose Cruz Jr's, Canseco's and various Marlins to him last week along with a couple of Jeter's for Tatiana to show my appreciation... and what do I find today in the mail?

Matt Holliday, '07 Bowman


Matt Holliday, '07 Bowman Chrome


Matt Holliday, '07 Upper Deck Spectrum

Yes, that's right... he thanked me for thanking him (and apparently a few other folks as well). There are some good people out there that are involved in The Hobby and I thank Mario for reminding us all of that fact while piquing our interest and keeping us involved. Unfortunately, the most genuine collector around is gaining first-hand experience with the scum of our hobby in truly upsetting fashion.

I'd like to wish him the best of luck with U.D. and thanks again for all of your help.

More Tulo's to come tomorrow, so check back in!

Boom... outta here.

That's all I've got heading my way anytime soon, but this is what I am quite excited for.

That's all I got...

Mail Day Preview (04/12/08)

It's been a few days since the last update to the collection, but yesterday I received/purchased a couple of cards that will go nicely in the Tulo set. They are the following (scans to come):

2007 Topps '52 Dynamic Duos: Ubaldo Jimenez/Troy Tulowitzki (RC)
2007 Bowman Chrome Refractor (RC)

I'll get the scans up later this evening.

Again, if anyone has anything not in my collection that you're willing to trade/sell, shoot me an email or leave a comment. My non-Tulo collection is growing daily and I just might have something that you're interested.

That's all I got...
