The mysterious pancake stacker

I got home from vacation a couple days ago, and the only card-related mail I had was a single plain white envelope.

The envelope was mysterious. First off, there was no return address listed. Second, it was post-marked from Tennessee. Third, it wasn't addressed to my name, just "Lost Collector."

Hmmm. Not many clues there.

Inside, more mystery.

There wasn't a note saying who it was from. Just a business card that said that I've been stacked by the pancake king.

But who is the pancake king?!?

Oh yes, the card that was in the envelope was this Phil Linz Upper Deck Yankees Classic, #'d 88/99. Linz is famous for his harmonica incident on the Yankees bus, of course.

The card is much appreciated, as is the mystery surroundng the card. A few others on Twitter also mentioned they were stacked by the king of flapjacks. Some even speculated that it might be JBF, who isn't too far from Nashville. I'm not ready to concede there though. Not enough clues!

Thanks, Pancake King!

TTM Success: One in for my Topps Yankees Project

After a slight drought, I finally received another success for my Topps Yankees Project. Phil Linz signed my 1965 Topps in just six days. He also included a business card from the insurance company that he works for. This definitely is not my favorite Topps set, but I'm extremely happy to check off another year, especially from the 1960s.

Thanks, Mr. Linz!
