First, a big box of free from Nick, of Dime Box fame.
Dime Boxes -- The Low-End Baseball Card Collector's Journey (baseballdimebox.blogspot.com)
He offered 10 rounds of cards, and I let other people have a shot first usually, but I still ended up with 38 cards. Then he added a bunch of extras, so the total was 80 or so. Let us gaze at some highlights:
- Smoltz RC
- Murphy: food issue with licensing and the brand logo on the front of the card.
- Jim Morris: The Rookie
- Some might say Schmidt was the best ever, but I think Ruth was slightly better.
- Anyway, a lot of other good cards - a couple more Dawsons, a Rickey, another Trout, etc.
I also made a small trade with a Canadian.
I sent him 5 Canucks cards and got back this duo:
- Cu Jo RC
- An upgrade for a frankenset slot.
Glad you found some cards from the giveaways, and happy to hear you need a good amount of the extras too! Always love seeing a Jim Morris card on the blogs.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. Good haul.
DeleteNice Cujo! Lots of other good stuff here. My favorite from Nick's cards is the Ohtani rookie cup.
ReplyDeleteCool. Ohtani's a guy that I'm 'not collecting' but I add his cards when I stumble onto them.
