Or maybe Tom, from The Angels in Order, sent them.

Free Cards Because I'm Pretty

 Got some free cards from The Diamond King. 



  








-  My second Skenes.  2024 NL Rookie of the Year. 

-  My third Cowens.  1973 NBA MVP.  8x NBA All-Star.

-  My second Gervin.  9x NBA All-Star and 3x ABA All-Star.

-  Two upgrades for frankenset slots and a keeper for my Pirates collection, which is pretty good considering the Skenes isn't frankenset eligible.

Super Bowl Contest Winner


Poison75 was the only person to pick Jalen Hurts.  

Three people picked the best RB in the league, two picked Jason Kelce's brother, and one picked a guy who couldn't handle the pressure of the Super Bowl. 

Looks like I need Poison75's address.

Scoring from My Dealer

 


Another batch from COMC.  Mostly hockey.












-  5x All-Star.  Coached Grand Canyon to the NAIA title in 1988.  

-  Been wanting a Larsen card for a while.  Perfect game in the 1956 World Series.       

-  Silver medal in speed skating at the 2014 Olympics.

-  Slim Reaper

-  Jalen Carter

 


-  Seven Vezina Trophies.  Almost as good as Ron Hextall.  

-  NHL's  100th Anniversary Team.

-  Washington goalie showing how it's done.

-  Eventually, they have to run out of room for the names.  Right?

-  Commoner trespassing in Roy's crease.  What has happened to society?

-  I like that '91 Score design.  Probably should have gotten more.

-  Great goalie, but he sure had some crappy masks.

-  Finish him!

-  Mafia ties. 

-  My dad met him and got his autograph back in the day. 

-  Hall of Famer

-  Her college stats were insane.  80 points in 25 games.  84 points in 28 games. 

-  Anyway, 60 cards.  55 hockey, most of which filled frankenset slots.

Time Traveling

 


Another trade with Matty K.  Let us peruse:












-  Two World Series rings as a pitcher.  Two more as the Blue Jays' team physician.  Royal Canadian Air Force.  Number retired by MLB.

-  2x All-Star.  I was watching the 1984 NLCS with my cousin, a Cubs fan, when Garvey hit the homer.  Awkward moment.

-  Phillies legend and key piece in the Von Hayes trade with the Indians.  3x All-Star.  Five Silver Slugger Awards.  Subject of a Paul Simon song.    

-  Married to Tawny Kitaen.  5x All-Star.
