Scoring from My Dealer

 


So I tried something different, and that is a tin of 2021 Topps baseball series 1.  He had it priced at $30, but I traded a card for store credit, so it was $20 out the door.  75 cards, so I won't show them all.  Ha.

There is a mystery Rougned Odor card.  It looks the same as his base card, except the borders have a  shiny silver vibe.  Anyway, on to the cards I can show.

  






 



-  A 1952 Topps redux - chrome

-  Five 1952 Topps redux 

-  1986 Topps 35th anniversary tribute

-  Gold parallel

-  I'm calling this lady a cardboard cut-out, because I didn't get any others. Ha.

-  The only COVID mask card.

-  70 years of Topps - chrome insert

-  Through the Years insert

-  Several ho cards, including Albert Pujols, Manny Machado, and two Juan Sotos (his base and NL BA leaders).

-  Justin Verlander, Buster Posey, the base Devers, and Eloy Jimenez. 

-  The Yankees won the team contest, with five.  The Jeter insert, as well as a Gerrit Cole, Miguel Andujar, Albert Abreu RC, and Deivi Garcia RC.   

Anyway, I know it's not a popular set.  But I have plenty of them available for trade.   So if you're building the set, you can shoot me your want list and I'll see if I have any of them.  All the base cards not mentioned here and all the ho cards are available.  The Yankees (except for Cole) and the Griffey are also available.

NFL Playoffs Contest Winner

Fuji and the Lost Collector tied with 9 points, but Fuji wins because he got his entry in first. 

I'll wait a couple days to see if anybody disputes my math.  

Feel free to check back for a Super Bowl something or other that I'll be posting early in the week of the game.  Another PWE of football cards is ready to be sent to a previous commenter in the U.S. or Canada.

Time Travelling

Another Time Travel trade with Matt.  


The hidden gem here was Neely.  Four-time All Pro and named to the NFL's 1960s team.  Of course, nobody noticed because he played for such a crappy team.  :)
