Dime Box Junk - $3.00

HERE'S SOME MORE DIME BOX TRASH FOR YA

TYPING THIS UP WHILE LISTENING TO THE DODGERS GAME AND HONESTLY THIS IS NOT GONNA BE VERY WORDY CAUSE I JUST WANNA GO TO BED

2017 TOPPS CHROME BARTOLO COLON


I SHOULDA  CLEANED MY SCANNNER BEFORE THE SOFTWARE DECIDED TO GLITCH

OH WELL, BARTOLO'S ATLANTA TENURE WAS PRETTY FILTHY AS WELL. I CHERISH EVERY INNING. A CURSE ON MANFRED'S FAMILY FOR SEVEN GENERATIONS IF THIS COLLUSION BULLSHIT ENDS BIG SEXY'S CAREER



2013 PINNACLE SLUGFEST ADAM LAROCHE SLUGFEST


PINNACLE! DUFEX! ADAM LAROCHE! ECCH, WASHINGTON! 2013 WAS SUCH A WEIRD UNLOVED ANOMALY OF A SET BUT SO MANY OF THE INSERTS ARE JUST RIDICULOUS AMAZING. THESE THINGS SCAN SO WEIRD, I LOVE IT


ADAM LAROCHE WAS A HELLUVA PLAYER AND I DEEPLY REGRET HIS TRADE TO PITTSBURGH BUT IF HE WASN'T TRADED TO PITTSBURGH DOES FREDDIE FREEMAN HAPPEN BUT WHY WAS HE SO GOOD WITH WASHINGTON WHYYYYY. IN CONCLUSION THE LAROCHE TRADE IS A LAND OF CONTRASTS

1993 TED WILLIAMS MOTHERFUCKING POGS YO


AT LEAST ONE READER OF THIS POST IS GOING TO SEE A POG WITH TED WILLIAMS' FACE ON IT AND BE SO BEWILDERED THEIR BRAIN WILL OVERHEAT AND TURN TO STEAM AND SHOOT OUT THEIR EARS AND FLOAT AROUND THE ROOM LIKE A CLOUD WITH TINY LIGHTNING STRIKES ZAPPING THINGS OCCASIONALLY. FIRST THINGS FIRST. THERE WAS A TED WILLIAMS BASEBALL CARD SET IN 1993 AND 1994 FEATURING OLD TIMEY LEGENDS TYPE PLAYERS. THEY HAD A GIMMICK JUST LIKE TOPPS WITH GUM OR FLEER WITH STICKERS OR DONRUSS WITH PUZZLES OR UPPER DECK WITH HOLOGRAMS OR SCORE WITH THOSE SPORTSFLICSY TRIVIA THINGS. AND EVEN THOUGH MOST OF THOSE GIMMICKS HAD ALREADY BEEN ABANDONED, TED WILLIAMS HAD A UNIQUE GIMMICK AND THIS WAS IT:

INVISIBLE INK.

NO I'M NOT SHITTING YOU INVISIBLE INK

IS IT ANY SURPRISE AT ALL THAT THIS COMPANY CHOSE POGS AS AN INSERT SET

POGS ON CARDS IS SUCH AN INSANE CHOICE FOR A KINDA SORTA HIGHER-END PRODUCT MARKETED TOWARDS MIDDLE AGED WHITE DUDES WHO REMEMBERED PLAYERS FROM THE 50S AND 60S AND IT STILL ISN'T AS SILLY AS INVISIBLE INK SO PUT YOUR STEAM BRAIN BACK IN YOUR HEAD BEFORE IT SETS THE COUCH ON FIRE



BLANK BACKED POGS ARE SOME LASY ASS BULLSHIT BUT IT'S TEDDY BALLGAME SO WHAT THE HELL

2018 DIAMOND KINGS MOOSE SKOWRON


HEY, REMEMBER THAT 2019 DIAMOND KINGS CARD I POSTED A LITTLE WHILE BACK? REMEMBER HOW IT DIFFERED FROM THIS DESIGN? NO. NO YOU DON'T. ALL THESE NEW DK DESIGNS BLUR TOGETHER. OIL PAINTING FILTER PLUS SOME PAINT SPLOOSHES SO IT'S LIKE IT'S A WORK IN PROGRESS OR THE ARTIST DROPPED THE CANVAS AND PALLET DOWN THE STAIRS. I STILL BUY THE STUFF THO



AH THE BACKS I REMEMBER, THE 2019 VERSION HAD A FRAME AROUND THE BACK AND THIS ONE HAS A SMALLER FRAME SURROUNDED BY BOB ROSS HAPPY FLUFFY CLOUDS. OVAL FRAMES ARE NORMAL CARDS AND RECTANGLE FRAMES ARE VARIATIONS. WHY DO I KNOW THIS.

MOOSE WAS A HELLUVA PLAYER AND HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO PLAY ON SOME MONSTER YANKEE TEAMS. WHEN DESPICABLE STAT SNOBS START CRAPPING ON WHATEVER HALL OF FAME CANDIDATE WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN ELECTED TEN YEARS AGO AND THROW OUT THAT OLD CHESTNUT "HALL OF VERY GOOD" ONE OF THE THINGS I THINK OF IS HOW THE PLAYERS LIKE MOOSE HERE THAT FILL UP THAT HALLOWED IMAGINARY HALL ARE INFINITELY MORE INTERESTING THAN THE LATEST FORMULA FOR DETERMINING A PLAYER'S FINANCIAL WORTH THAT'S BEING ABUSED TO DEPRESS FREE AGENT WAGES IN A WAY THAT WILL ULTIMATELY WIPE OUT A SEASON OR TWO WITH LOCKOUTS AND STRIKES. FORTUNATELY WHEN MANFRED CANCELS A WORLD SERIES DUE TO A WORK STOPPAGE JUST LIKE HIS PREDECESSOR WE'LL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO READ UP ON BILL'S PLAYOFF HEROICS. HA HA PEPITONE WAS SUCH A DOUCHE.

COMIC BALL 2(?) KEN GRIFFEY SR HOLOGRAM


OK GOT A LITTLE DARK ON THAT LAST CARD. LET'S LIGHTEN THINGS UP WITH A HOLOGRAM CARD FROM WHAT I *THINK* IS UPPER DECK COMIC BALL 2 BUT I'M NOT SURE AND I'M NOT LOOKING IT UP. MAMA BEAR IS ABSOLUTELY HITTING ON THE ELDER GRIFFEY. HERE AND IT SURE DON'T LOOK LIKE HE MINDS TOO MUCH. CHUCK JONES IS A FURRY. NORMALLY I'D TELL KEN NOT TO MESS WITH STRANGE BEARS BUT PAPA BEAR IS LIKE WHAT, THREE FEET TALL? HE CAN TAKE HIM WITHOUT TOO MUCH FUSS. GO GET YOU SOME HOT BILF ACTION MR GRIFFEY

I APOLOGIZE FOR THIS POST AND MY ENTIRE BODY OF WORK. IT IS WRONG AND I AM WRONG. I PROMISE TO POST NICE NON-SPORTS CARDS IN THE FUTURE

Enjoyed Bartolo's short tenure with the Braves. He was always fun. "5 tool player" lol. LaRoche was good and hated seeing him go. Very easy to root for.

Johnnys Trading Spot said...

Ditto on the above. Go Braves!

Fuji said...

Lol. Cracking up on the blank back Williams commentary. As for the Griffey Sr. hologram... I'm pretty sure it's from the 3rd series of Comic Ball.

dayf said...

@Fuji yep, Comic Ball 3, you're right
my price guide only shows five holograms for the set but it didn't seem to take the comic ball sets very seriously anyway
