It's that time of the month again, I have a months worth of mail and two boxes of Panini Hall Of Fame from Grayson. I'll start off with the hits from the two boxes.
Now it's time for some Ewing madness, I have to send a massive THANKS once again to Matt for helping me with approx 90% of these cards.

Drum Roll Please...........
I've been searching for this card now for a good 5 years, this card and the remainder of the set alone are extremely rare. I found a Ewing collector about a month ago in France who had this in his collection but he was understandably keeping it in his PC.
Just a few weeks later the same card from a different person made a brief appearance on Ebay with a BIN of $222US or Best Offer but the seller blocked all International buyers, that's where the amazing Matt came to my rescue and placed an offer of $200US for me which was accepted to my amazement.
This is one of the best on card auto's I have in my PC even though all the Ewing auto's were on card and not one sticker was ever made and it leaves me with just one more auto to collect from the entire 2003-2004 season. This was the final year Ewing signed anything card related and hopefully that continues.
Leigh i always enjoy seeing your Ewing maildays but this Standout auto is......well..........a STANDOUT!!! One of the nicest cards i've seen on here in a long time, what a cracker!!
Thanks for sharing.....great story too, I like hearing the way people find their hard to find cards...congrats mate.
Nice Hakeem from HOF too!
Love that Short Off My Back design, the Limited patch and great stuff adding that rare card to your PC!!!!!! Satisfaction after a long search!

ditto! love the triumvirate, the fusion, the sick sick looking black diamond and of course that totally beautiful auto at the end - that is a stunning set and they definitely arent seen as often as ppl would like
awsome cards there mate the hakeem is a ripper!!
ewing auto is very very nice and i can understand why he doesnt sign much looks like he has trouble holding a pen!!!1
Wow, I've never seen almost all of those cards. Sounds like you could probably have gotten the auto a little cheaper, but nice work picking it up and good on Matt as usual.
Die cut is a great looking card and the PC auto is a ripper. Not the best penmanship though... why doesn't he sign? Doesn't need to! lol At first that Lieberman card was Luc Longley and I was thinking wtf?! lol, awesome mailday dude!
