Mail Call Part 2

Benjamin Hobbs:

Last week I showed off half the contents of the archeological time capsule that is the package Manly Matt Dow sent me in the mail.  This week we'll take a look at the rest of it!

First, he sent 5 trading cards.  There are two copies of his TMNT8 card, and three prototype cards from High Society.  (At least I THINK they're the prototype cards. We last discussed this AGES ago, and I should have confirmed this with Manly before posting this. Maybe he'll let us all know in the comments!)

He also sent me a bunch of flat pennies from Disney World and a VERY fancy protective sleeve that the coins are currently stored in.  I'm not sure if the protective sleeve was meant for the pennies or not.  When the package arrived, the pennies were floating around the envelope, and the sleeve was empty:

He also sent a cut little outfit for Little Baby Hobbs. The tag says 3-6 months old, and Little Baby Hobbs is currently a BIT older than that. But, as Manly stated, mailing things is his Kryptonite:

Finally, he sent a copy of Brer Rabbit.  Matt suggests that it can pay to put Little Baby Hobbs through college one day. I checked on ebay, and this thing only goes for about $12 mint.  My best bet to pay for college off this book will be to forge Manly's signature and sell in on ebay as signed by "The Manly One."  I'll be sure to notify everyone here when that auction is live!

Next Week: Toning Narutabus!
