Time Traveling

 


Another trade with Matty K.  












The Harper wasn't part of the Time Travel stash, but he let me have it anyway.  I'll probably be sending extras in our next few trades to make up for it.   #Harpergate

Scoring from My Dealer


Purchased a decent-sized stack of cards through COMC.  Let's look at a few.



-  Olsen's a Hall of Famer.  He was in Little House on the Prairie for several years.  

-  Karras is a Hall of Famer.  He played the dad on Webster.

-  Layne is a Hall of Famer, though he did most of his damage with the Lions.

-  Page is a Hall of Famer.  He was a Minnesota Supreme Court Justice.

-  Joe Greene is a Hall of Famer.  He starred in one of the best TV commercials ever.

-  Staubach is a Hall of Famer.  He was a U.S. Navy Lieutenant and served a year in Vietnam in 1966 - 67. 

-  Conley was a 4-time All Star in MLB and a member of 3 NBA title teams as well.

-  Torre is a Hall of Famer.  He was the NL MVP in 1971 and won 4 World Series as a manager.

-  5'6" Spud Webb guarding 7'0" Brad Daugherty.  

-  76ers legend Moses Malone, before he found Jesus. 

-  Goodrich is a Hall of Famer.  That's Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson guest starring.

-  76ers legend Dr. J, with guest appearances by Bobby Jones, Kevin McHale, a random Celtic, and Larry Bird.  

-  Gilbert showing the preferred mask style. 

-  Esposito is a Hall of Famer.

-  Bourque is a Hall of Famer.

Scoring from My Dealer


Bought a blaster of 2023 Score football at Walmart.  Not an ideal set for me, with college unis and ho cards aplenty, but it's the best there is with Donruss not available.





-  The Celebration (5), Sack Attack (4), and Huddle Up (3) inserts are ho cards, so they're available for trade. 

-  All the rookie related cards are college unis, so they're available for trade. 

-  The best looking card is an Ellipse parallel of Peter Skoronski, but the pic isn't up on TCDB.  It's a print run of 199.

-  A bit of a Josh Allen hot box, with his base, a Celebration insert, and a Huddle Up insert.

-  Not a single dupe, so no complaints about the collation.

My Teams vs Your Teams


 

My Teams                                                   Your Teams




-  Starting eight plus a DH

-  Starting pitchers

-  Bullpen

-  Bench


My teams are the Phillies, Oakland A's, and Padres:  the three teams I've rooted for during my life.    

It's the last 50 years, because the Padres and Oakland A's are somewhat new compared to teams like the Yankees and Cardinals.  I'm already giving you guys way more teams to draw from, so I need something to even the playing field.  Ha.

I avoided juicers.  Go ahead and file your complaints about other exclusions though.  Jeff Kent?  Curt Schilling?  Steve Garvey?
