Fuji's Mountain of Japanese Goodness!

I think Fuji has pushed me to the Brandon Laird supercollector status with a recent care package from San Jose.  Totally unexpected, but much appreciated, was a care package packed with Brandon Laird cards, autos, serial-numbered goodness, and unique Japanese "odd-ball" inserts.  Thanks for the care package.  Readers, send a shout out to Fuji to let him know he is definitely one of the most generous bloggers out there.

For those that aren't following Brandon, he is currently playing with the Nippon Ham Fighters in Japan after a few short stints with the Yankees.  Here is a huge 8" x 10" auto photograph of Brandon signed in 2009 when he was playing in the New York Yankees minor league system that Fuji sent.


Next up are some base and serial-numbered cards of Brandon from his 2009 and 2011 playing days with the Yankees.  Apparently Bowman believed that his 2011 Bowman Chrome card was also his "1st Bowman Chrome Card" in addition to his 2009 Chrome card.  Raz won the contest I had a few weeks ago to see if anyone could find the 2011 error.  This lot of great cards I need and are some really beauties!


Fuji didn't stop there.   He included three Laird autos as well as some cool insets from 2017 Upper Deck Map relics, and 2003 Topps Currency collection.  The 2017 UD card has an piece of map as well as the great Fuji...of the mountain type that is.  The 2003 Topps has an actual 1 yen coin imbedded in the card.  


Thanks again Fuji!!!!!
