So my dealer has opened up again on a limited basis - one customer at a time I think. I had some store credit to spend and I was hoping for a certain basketball card I had seen a while back. But he couldn't find it. However, I did get a football card.

It's #500, so it doesn't help my frankenset. But it upgrades the Cowboys team page in my binder. It's tough finding good players for them.
Then, on Wednesday, I received my winnings from Tim's Cardpocalypse give-away.

An SN999 Cracked Ice insert that's shinier in real life. My first racing card. Might have to build a mini collection of just Hall of Famers and Danica. #RacingSnob

A Touch the Sky insert. My first Kobe. Yet, I have several Jordans. I'm sure this has nothing to do with being old. (sigh)

What's better than Diamond Kings? Pre-junk era Diamond Kings. Also, a good way to avoid those nasty fake autos on 1982 Topps.

SN99 swatch card. Had to go to Bing for the image; this is from CJ's Card shop.

Listed as 6'4", 178 on the back. LOL. Eat something, Rollie.
Useless Trivia: Fingers played for the 1966 Modesto team that won the Advanced A California League title. His teammates included Reggie Jackson, Joe Rudi, Tony LaRussa, and Dave Duncan.
So yeah - Tim hooked me up. Here's a link to his blog:

Man I wish I was collecting in the late 90's, those Touch the sky inserts are a good example of the kinds of stuff I missed out on. Several Jordans! That's cool.
ReplyDeleteYeah. I don't have a lot of basketball, but most of what I have is junk era. So Jordan, Barkley, Nique, etc. Not their high-end cards, just random pack pulls.
DeleteThat Rollie is a beauty! That was a fun contest that Tim ran, obviously your luck was a little better than mine :)
ReplyDeleteI was one of the winners in the final round. But I got baseball and basketball anyway, so it worked out well for me.
DeleteNice winnings! Any Kobe is a great add!
