Scoring from My Dealer

 


Was in the area of Walhalla, so I stopped in for some cold brew coffee.  

Grabbed a "pack" of Score-A-Treat football cards while there.

 


-  A lot of retired greats, with the exception being Johnny Manziel, who will be on his way to a local thrift store next time I make it up there to donate some stuff.

-  The base cards are the orange, but the green showed up about as often.

-  The Rising Stars cards are inserts.  

-  Isolated action shots, much like my recent Score purchase.  Not sure what the reasoning is there.

-  Rookies (Rising Stars) get head shots instead of college unis.         

-  The green is more like Dickerson and Winslow than Chase and Marino.

Scoring from My Dealer

 


More 2024 Score football from Target.  

They were out of blasters, so I got 3 hanger packs. 




-  90 cards for $21 / 22-something after tax.

-  4 First Ballot

-  3 League Leader

-  1 Top 100 Players of 2023:  #77 Geno Smith

-  7 Red parallels

-  1 Gold parallel SN240

-  Moore's a Red parallel, but the front isn't up on TCDB, so you get the back.

Time Traveling

 


Sent some cards to Matty K.  Got a half dozen back.

 



-  Maxwell was a slick fielding left fielder and 2-time All Star who served a couple years in the U.S. Army.  

-  Blue won the AL C Young and MVP awards in 1971 while with the A's.

-  Bench might show up on my next themed All Star team. 

-  Jackson played A ball for Modesto. 

-  Bonilla's now known for his last Mets contract, but he was a 6-time All Star who won 3 Silver Sluggers.  

-  Galarraga was a 5-time All Star who won 2 Gold Gloves and 2 Silver Sluggers.  He also was the MLB Comeback Player of the Year twice.
