Brian, fellow non-US resident and writer of Waxaholic, had been threatening a package for a little while. A day or two after Ryan's cards arrived from Canada, there was Brian's! This time from Calgary, Alberta.
When Brian and I first got in contact through A Pack a Day, he mentioned that he liked all things English. In particular: Fish and Chips, Queen (or was that The Queen), Premiership Football and Lucy Pinder, who is, what we call in the UK, a page 3 model. An offer of football cards, his team of choice-Braves and a few other football bits and pieces made their way to Canada. The return package is Brilliant plus some bonus Looney Tunes, Digimon and 4 packs of Hoops!. He also added, possibly knowing my interest in oddball cards in particular cards that come with food, a little pack of Kraft Canadian baseball cards.

Awesome Brian, the last two cards were a complete surprise. I didn't realise they were numbered until I was listing them. Wade Boggs as been a hard man to catch as well, so thanks for all the Boggs cards, it helped me complete the 1987 and 1998 Topps Red Sox sets. Look out for more football stickers coming soon. Still searching for Lucy!
