- A while back I mentioned abandoning my baseball frankenset for a new project. Seems like a good time to announce that my new project is a Topps card from every year since the debut of the current size in 1957. There are certain parameters, but I'll save them for the set completion post.
- I got 16 of these 1983 Diamond Kings. So I now have 17. LOL
- 2004 SPx
- 2012 Topps Archives
- I now have a card of every pitcher to throw a perfect game in MLB during my lifetime. All 14 are same team and year as the perfecto.
Very nice pickups! I love the idea for your new project (a Topps card from every year since the debut of the current size in 1957). I think your post just gave me some inspiration. I don't collect any pre-1969 cards (they never really interested me) but somehow I still have a handful in my possession. I just might have to acquire one pre-1969 Topps Dodger card for each year all the way back to 1952 or even 1951. This idea is really growing on me.
ReplyDeleteThe Dodgers had some good teams in the 1950s. Robinson, Campanella, etc.
DeleteCard Barrel rules! Love the idea of a Perfect Game mini-collection, would be nice to see those immortals together, Sandy Koufax right next to Philip Humber.
ReplyDeleteHa ha.
DeleteKoufax is pretty high up on my long shot wants list. Though he pitched before I was born, so I won't need him for any 'in my lifetime' mini collections.
Damn. Kate is looking good. And that 75T Tiant isn't too shabby either. Any chance you'll show off the entire Perfecto PC in one post?
ReplyDeleteI can post it next week.
