Yesterday I finally got my COMC package from their Black Friday event.  I picked up a ton of new Younts from the Black Friday sale, but I also had a bunch of cards sitting in my portfolio that I had been picking up all year since the last Black Friday sale.  The package took almost 2 weeks to get to me.  COMC used Pitney Bowes as a third party shipper.  If COMC had just put my package in the mailbox or had USPS pick it up it most likely would have been in my mailbox about 3 days after mailing in from Redmond, Washington.  Instead the package took a trip to Nevada, then spent 4 days in California and then disappeared for 4 or 5 days till it showed up in my mailbox.  That being said my cards were very well packaged and none were damaged and to be fair COMC's delivery estimate was January 4th.  Ahem anyways, this year I picked up 53 new Younts from COMC. COMC has become my main avenue for picking up new Younts.  So for the next couple months I'll be presenting all the new cards I picked up.

First up is the one card I really wanted to get my hands on and it was by far the most expensive card I've ever bought off of COMC.  But this card also happens to come from, at least at the time, the most expensive baseball card product every made.  I had been watching what some of these Sketch Reproduction card have gone for in the past and I was happy to pick it up for about $25.  I picked this card up during COMC's Spring Cleaning sale way back earlier in the year and have been looking at it in my portfolio just waiting to get it in hand.  I have no illusions that I'll ever own the original sketch of this card, but I'm happy to add this unique card to my collection.  And this one will start off the COMC Black Friday collection posts.
