Shelliebee Rocks... Pun Intended

For those of you who don't know Shelliebee is a Rockies fan with a great card blog.  Check it out if you have not already.  So she and I completed a trade about a month ago in which I sent her a Dexter Fowler auto and a bunch of Rockies for a bunch of Mets that I collect.  It worked out for both of us. 

Then, she broke a box of Topps Chrome and pulled an Ike Davis refractor.



I have been looking for any Ike Davis cards I can get my hands
on, so I was very grateful when she sent it my way.

However, the generosity did not end there, she also sent me a bunch of other Mets that she pulled including a David Wright Xfractor. I did not even know there was a difference but the Xfractor has the checkerboard look and the Ike Davis does not and looks like a normal Chrome to me other than the word refractor next to the number on the back of the card.

When she told me she was sending me this jewel I was overjoyed.


Not just a David Wright relic card, of which I had none, but my favorite brand of relic card (A&G) and a blue piece of jersey (Met blue being my favorite color).  Seriously, I could have hardly asked for a better card!

So thank you Shelliebee, and I will be sending some cards your way though nothing as cool as these gems unfortunately.

  1. I'm glad you liked the package! and to answer your question about that Tino Martinez card, it's all cardstock! It's a 1998 Stadium Club Triumvirate Luminous. Pretty cool looking huh?
