My Best ESSENDON Mailday Ever!

[jefferson]

Hey guys,

Been a long time waiting, but am now very happy to post up my recent maildays (from the last 4 months) after the last card from a team set I was chasing, arrived today

Firstly a big thank you to all the following card forum members for their help in helping me hunt down some cards through buying, trading and selling - rainz, carlton91, ShueyGaffDarlingNatt, niland, ratsdm, Quicksilver, crows2010, stormjohn, gecko8, jacko, Richo, kymbo28, THE_MILK_MAN, 4wdextreme, Lionsroar, Lions2003, adam456, AidansCards, banana, rowdy7070, Jyeza17, nevalast, aussie26, Sacha, richo01, tigerking, mason264, collingwood, wockrog, arkman, Go Dees, oscarzac, chorn65, diablo14, ba_hawks, P-Dawg & PieMad10.

Has definitely been a great experience these last couple of months, increasing my passion for collecting Essendon cards and helping others to complete their sets.

Picked up a nice container to store my cards

Picked up a couple of these from the Bombershop. Limited to /500

Got my guernsey signed by most of the Essendon list at family day.

Thanks guys! I think the challenge in patiently hunting down these cards made it worthwhile

Then being able to meet the 4 players and talk to them was icing on the cake

Cheers Dave! Very nice cards to collect. Very un/fortunate that there were a lot of Essendon drafted boys.

Nothing better than completing a chase set in the card hobby
