Clean-Up (The Tolstoy Mix)

 


-  Scored another free card from Jon Penny Sleeves.  It's the second 1954 he's sent me, which brings my 1954 total to two.  This is Topps, the other one is Bowman.

-  Made a few more trades on TCDB.  No major fiascos, but definitely some annoying stuff.  Anyway, let's look at a few of the cards I got.    

   

-----  Sorry, Larry.  Didn't see you there. :)

-----  Same Name collection.

-----  I like the pic.

-----  Legend.  (Seems like a good time to remind readers that my card images are form TCDB.)

-----  Same Name collection.

-----  I like the pic.

-  So my glasses broke and I tried three different places but nobody could fix them.  So I bit the bullet and took the trolley to the mall / Lens Crafters for some new ones.  Had to get an eye exam too, so no more piano lessons for Tommy.  

-  Anyway, while I was at the mall I checked out Target for the first time since March 2020.  Sign limiting Pokemon buys to two per customer.  No baseball, basketball, or football as I expected.  There was Upper Deck hockey, in three different forms, and Parkside NWSL hanger boxes.  Considered the latter, but I didn't see a price and I don't like asking (turns out it was $13.50 for 25 cards).  However, I did buy a package of 25 nine-pocket pages.  Slightly more than my dealer was charging when he had them, but not much more, and I was sick of waiting for him to restock.

-  I also spent a delightful 20 minutes looking for a food court which no longer exists. 

-  Scored a free card from Kevin, the Diamond King.  I feel like I keep adding cards of this guy to my collection, but I only have six.

-  Chris the Collector is retiring.  Feel free to go to his blog and bug him a bit.




-  Did some Time Traveling with Matt and got a trio of baseball cards.

  1. A. I need to get my eyes checked. It's been a few years and they've gotten a lot worse.

    B. Parkside NWSL hanger boxes are $13.50 at your Target? That's crazy. I paid around $10 for mine (at Target).

    C. I love food court food.

    D. Gonna miss Chris's posts.

    E. Love Lefty.

    G. My brother likes Steely Dan, so I inherited a few of their LP's.

    1. I looked up the price when I got home. Thought I got it from Cardboard Connection, but apparently not. I'm seeing $9.99 listed as the pre-sale online price (sold out) and now $17.75 and up. So I don't know where I got $13.50 from.

  2. Same name collections FTW. I have an early 80s Michael Jackson Seahawks card that is tempting me to branch out to other sports.

    Curious if the tcdb troubles involve sellers using poor packaging and/or scotch tape.

    1. They tend to be inexpensive usually.

      No. That is one issue I haven't had with my TCDB trades.

  3. I think I'm just about done with TCDB trading, but I'll enjoy seeing what others were able to negotiate for.
