Targets

People have asked what I'm collecting, so here's a target list of sorts.  Some are more realistic than others.  Maybe we can trade some time, or maybe you're just here for the pictures.  Olivia and let live, I say.     

1982 Donruss Diamond Kings:  I have 18 of 26.   I need Rose, Trammell, Zisk, DeJesus, Kingman, Fisk, Ozzie Smith, and Singleton.

1983 Donruss Diamond Kings:  I have 17 of 26.  I need Fingers, Reggie Jackson, Palmer, Stargell, Rickey Henderson, Carlton, Bench, Joe Morgan, and Yaz.    

Super Bowl MVPs:  Jim Plunkett as a Raider and two Terry Bradshaws.  

Curt Flood:  1970 Topps or 1970 O-Pee-Chee

Tony Gwynn:  1983 Donruss (RC), 1983 Fleer (RC), or autographed card.  

Willie McCovey:  As a Padre.  

Maury Wills:  As a player.  I have his manager card, but it's a base stealers collection.  So yeah. 

 

Is that Emily Greinke?  Must be time to talk about pitchers.

AL Cy Young Award Winners:  McLain, Vida Blue (A's), Gaylord Perry (Indians), and Catfish Hunter (A's)

NL Cy Young Award Winners:  Bob Gibson, Seaver (Mets), Fergie (Cubs) 

AL MVPs:  Richie Allen (White Sox), Reggie Jackson (A's)

NL MVPs:  Torre (Cardinals), Rose (first Reds stint)              

I need a lot of more recent cards from those four categories, but I think I can get them from Cardbarrel.

Larisa's got the Braun, I've got the brains.  Or something like that. 

Card Collecting 5: Incoming

  

So I received three envelopes in the mail: one had free cards and the other two were trades.

Free 2020 Gypsy Queen baseball cards from Rod at Padrographs:

   



So props to Rod for hooking me up with my first GQ cards.

Trade with Eric, from TCDB:

   

 

The Score Marino is #13, like his uniform number. :)

Trade with Mike, from TCDB:

   


In other news that isn't worth its own post:  I had sponsored a series of mini contests on TCDB and have started to send out people's cards.

I also sponsored an NFL Draft contest for a larger card bundle.  Was kind of disappointed more people didn't enter it.  But it got a few entries, so it could've been worse. Ha.   Anyway, I have the winner's stash packaged and ready. I should get it out today.

Lastly, I feel like I should transition my better cards to 9-pockets and binders, but I currently don't have access to Target or my local hobby shop.  So they're going to be stuck in boxes a while longer.  At least they're in top loaders.
