The only Braves insert in 2012 Archives


Not counting short prints, relics or autographs at least. Out of the seven insert sets in Archives: Reprints, Classic Combos, In Action, '67 Stickers, '68 3D, '69 Deckle Edge and '77 Cloth Stickers, this Deckle Edge card of Orlando Cepeda is the only Brave. I pulled this one out of a blaster today.

Now, there are three short printed Braves along with five relics and six autographs in the set, but only a fool would think they could pull those from wax. I've also got 71% of the base set.

Guess who's done ripping Archives?

(wantlist will be posted... eventually)

Dude. I like your blog, but the new design makes me think I'm on LSD. Can you revert back to something simple ?

Thanks

@Chuck
The design has been like this for months. Not sure what you mean by simple. Other than maybe updating the header sometime soon I don't really have plans to change anything.

@Canuck
Archives sucked me in. I managed to not buy wax from mid November to early June so that's a solid six months wax-free at least. Not buying any more until Ginter either, I've hit the "seven doubles and an insert you don't want in every pack" stage in my set building.

I had thought the archives where simply old cards from the 90's 80's and I wasn't really interested. Then I bought a pack and actually read the label. " MLB stars in classic Topps design" and now I want them.
