Some SICK early refractors, more non-sports cards, and trying a fun new treat!

Mike begins his mail day video by explaining he had forgotten several packages in his backpack from the previous week. He mentions deliberately reducing his card-buying expenses due to unforeseen financial obligations, now focusing on cheap purchases in the $2-5 range rather than his previous spending habits. He opens a letter from TJ containing autographed photos of Red Sox players including Bobby Dorr, Johnny Pesci, Ray Culp, Dave Stapleton, Larry Wolf, and Sam Horn. Mike notes that Sam Horn is famous for the "Sons of Sam Horn" website, a popular Red Sox fan forum from 20-30 years ago that featured active participation from pitcher Curt Schilling. He then showcases a Pedro Martinez 2003 Topps Finest refractor and a 2003 Nomar Garciaparra Topps Chrome refractor, emphasizing that 2003-2004 Topps Chrome refractors represent the best years of the set and his favorite Red Sox years. Mike discusses his non-sports card collection, including a Wayne's World PSA 9 card and a PSA 8 Dinosaurs card, noting he overpaid for the latter at $20-25 when regular versions cost $6. He receives a heartfelt letter from seventh-grader Gus, a Braves fan, who sends Wade Boggs and Robert Parish autographed cards. Mike commits to sending Gus some cards in return. He also displays a Tony La Russa rookie autographed card with a PSA 6 grade and an A+ Eye Appeal sticker. Finally, Mike tastes the new Sour Patch Kids Double Stuf Oreos, rating them three out of five stars. His 16-year-old son compares them to lemon Girl Scout cookies, which proves more accurate than Mike's initial lime assumption. Mike invites feedback on whether to include snack tastings in future videos and promotes his newsletter at junkmileszero.com.
