NON-SPORT FRANKENSET - CARD #7

EVER HAVE ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHERE YOU DIDN'T SLEEP WELL AND YOU FEEL LIKE A ZOMBIE AND THE COFFEE AIN'T WORKING AND YOU'RE ALL ANXIOUS ABOUT WORK AND THERE'S NOTHING GOOD IN THE FRIDGE FOR LUNCH AND YOU HAVE NO MONEY SO YOU CAN'T GO OUT AND DO SOMETHING FUN AND YOU'VE GOT A THOUSAND THINGS TO DO AND YOU GOT NONE OF THEM DONE AND YOU WERE LOOKING FORWARD TO SOMETHING COOL AND IT FELL THROUGH AND THAT LIBRARY BOOK YOU WENT OUT OF YOUR WAY TO RETURN ON TIME GOT A LATE FEE ANYWAY AND YOU WENT TO DINNER WITH YOUR PARENTS AND THEY IMMEDIATELY STARTED ARGUING ABOUT POLITICS AND YOUR FAVORITE TEAM CRAPPED THE BED  AND YOU PROCRASTINATED ON SOMETHING AND ENDED UP MISSING OUT AND YOU TRIED TO PLAY A VIDEO GAME TO RELAX AND YOU LOST AND IT JUST MADE YOU MORE FRUSTRATED AND YOU FINALLY GAVE UP AND TRIED TO GO TO BED BUT YOU JUST LIED AWAKE THINKING ABOUT EVERY DUMB ASS THING YOU'VE DONE SINCE 1982 UNTIL YOU WANTED TO JUMP OUT THE WINDOW

THAT'S BEEN MY WHOLE DAMN SEPTEMBER. ALL OF IT. EVERY DAY

FUCK IT, HERE'S SOME ADORABLE PUDDY TATS

7 1983 Perlorian Cats - buncha kitties in bed

ZOMG SO CUTE. LITTLE KITTIES IN A TINY BED. IN A VERY ODDLY DECORATED ROOM. ON A STICKER BECAUSE WHY NOT. I JUST KINDA ASSUME EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT THESE ARE BY NOW BECAUSE THE INTERNET AND CATS BUT HERE IS THE SCOOP: ONE DAY A JAPANESE DUDE NAMED SATORU TSUDA FOUND SOME STRAY BABY KITTENS AND TOOK THEM IN AND TOOK CARE OF THEM AND DISCOVERED THAT DOLL CLOTHES ARE THE RIGHT SIZE FOR CATS AND TOOK A PICTURE OF ONE OF THEM FOR FUN AND IT BECAME A HUGE FAD AND HE MADE A WHOLE BUNCH OF MONEY. HOORAY FOR CAT LOVERS! IN JAPAN IT'S CALLED NAMENEKO BUT IN AMERICA IT WAS BRANDED AS PERLORIAN BECAUSE I GUESS A WEIRDER NAME WAS REQUIRED FOR CATS IN CLOTHES OVER HERE. AND THEN TOPPS MADE A TRADING CARD SET OF THEM BECAUSE OF COURSE THEY DID. HERE'S MORE INFO ABOUT IT FOR YA BECAUSE I DON'T WANNA TYPE TONIGHT

TOPPS SOMEHOW CREATED A 56 CARD SET OF FANCY CAT STICKERS AND HONESTLY CATS HANGING OUT IN BED IS PROBABLY THE LEAST WEIRD CARD IN THE SET. DON'T BELIEVE ME? CHECK OUT THE CHECKLIST AND GALLERY. CATS ON MOTORCYCLES, WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT. THERE'S ALSO STICKER PUZZLES ON THE BACK. I LOVE THIS SET SO MUCH AND WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED TO DISCOVER THAT I-MOCKERY PUT IT ON A WORST TRADING CARDS POST BACK IN THE DAY BUT AFTER READING THE ARTICLE IT APPEARS THAT THERE'S ABOUT A 50-50 RATIO OF ACTUAL AWFUL USELESS SETS AND COMPLETELY AMAZING SUPER AWESOME SETS IN THERE. I KINDA NEED A FOXY LADY JEAN STICKER FOR THE FRANKENSET NOW

OK THIS POST WAS A BIT OF A BUMMER SO HERE'S A 10 HOUR COMPILATION OF CATS BEING CUTE AS A PALATE CLEANSER



OH GOD I MESSED UP THAT'S A TRAILER FOR THE MOVIE CATS I TOLD YOU THIS MONTH HAS GONE ALL WRONG

THINGS I LEARNED ABOUT 2019 TOPPS THANKS TO A PACKAGE FROM GROGG

I GOT THIS PACKAGE IN APRIL BUT MY SCANNER BROKE IN MAY AND I FINALLY SCANNED ALL THE STUFF IN SEPTEMBER AND NOW THE SEASON'S OVER AND I STILL HAVEN'T BOUGHT A SINGLE PACK OF 2019 BASEBALL CARDS THIS YEAR. I KNOW STUFF ABOUT FLAGSHIP TOPPS THOUGH. NOT SERIES TWO I AIN'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT THAT

THIS CARD IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL AND I AM UNANIMOUS IN THIS. THE DESIGN LOOKS GOOD. THE HOCKEY STICK, THE LOGO, THE BORDER BUBBLES, ALL IS PLEASING. THE LAST NAME OVER THE FIRST NAME THING IS STILL DISORIENTING BUT AS A FAN OF NEGATIVE SPACE I CAN'T COMPLAIN. THIS IS CARD #1 BECAUSE OF THAT VOTING GIMMICK, SO GO OUT AND VOTE FOR ACUÑA FOR FIRST CARD OF 2020 EVEN THOUGH EVERY TIME I SEE TOPPS POST THE LINK TO VOTE ON TWITTER I THINK THEY'RE SHOWING OFF THE 2020 BOWMAN DESIGN

FUN FACT: ADAM JONES' BASE CARD  IS NUMBER 8 IN THE SET. ADAM JONES' GIMMICK VARIATION IS NUMBER 262 IN THE SET. NUMBER 262 IN THE BASE SET IS MITCH MORELAND. ADAM JONES NOW PLAYS FOR THE DIAMONDBACKS. MITCH MORELAND IS A FIRST BASEMAN. GOT ALL THAT? THERE WILL BE A QUIZ. TO THIS DAY I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE WAS A VARIATION CARD IN THE PACKAGE GROGG SENT AND IF THERE IS, IT IS MIXED IN WITH THE BASE SET FOREVER

I LIKE THE RAINBOW FUTURE STARS THINGY. OR IN THIS CASE FUTURE ST 'S. STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE TOPPS LOGO IS STILL THE ONLY BIT OF FOIL ON THE CARD. I MAN, I UNDERSTAND - OTHERWISE THE CARD LOOKS LIKE OPENING DAY GARBAGE. STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND OPENING DAY

THE TEAM CARDS WITH THE STADIUM PHOTO ARE ALMOST UNBEARABLY NICE. I WISH THE CAPITOL BUILDING WAS STILL IN THE BACKGROUND OF OUR STADIUM PHOTO THOUGH :(

SO TOPPS HAS RESORTED TO PUNS ON THE CHECKLIST CARDS, EH.  I MISS WHEN CHECKLIST CARDS WERE JUST CHECKLIST CARDS AND HAD NAMES AND NUMBERS ON THE FRONT AND BACK. I DID A SEARCH FOR 'MARKED CHECKLIST CARDS' IN GOOGLE AND GOT A SHIT-TON OF MAGIC: THE GATHERING LINKS. I AM OLD AND WASHED UP

NOT A WHOLE LOT TO SAY ABOUT THE BASE SET, HONESTLY. IT'S PRETTY SOLID. HERE'S ONE OF THE NUMBERED GOLD PARALLEL CARDS. GOTTA SAY IT IS A MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT ON THE PAST THREE YEARS AND NOW WE SEE THE TRUE PURPOSE OF THE BORDER BUBBLES. SADLY, KHRIS DAVIS WILL NOT BE HITTING .247 THIS YEAR. IT WAS A NICE RUN

OH SHOOT, I DIDN'T SCAN A CARD BACK. THIS IS A LEADER CARD BUT YOU GET THE GIST OF IT. HOCKEY STICK FLIPPED UP TO DOWN, SAME NAME DESIGN, PRETTY PASTEL COLORS. THE CARD NUMBER IS VERY READABLE ALTHOUGH I WISH SERIES ONE WOULD GO AWAY AND THE NUMBER WAS LARGER. SERIAL NUMBERING IS THAT RAISED PLASTICKY STUFF. I MISS THE OLD BOLD FOIL STAMPING BECAUSE AS MENTIONED BEFORE I AM OLD AND BEFEEBLED

THIS IS ONE OF THE HOLOFOIL PARALLELS. I HATE THESE. THESE ARE WAY EASIER TO FIND THAN THE GOLD PARALLELS. WASTE OF A CARD IF YOU ASK ME. I CHOSE THIS ONE TO SHOW OFF BECAUSE I LIKE THE NAME WILMER

OH LOOK MOAR PARALLELS. THIS ONE HAS GOLD FOIL AND A LOGO! THE GOOD THING ABOUT THESE IS SINCE THEY ARE NORMAL CARD STOCK IT IS COMPLETELY POSSIBLE TO JUST NOT NOTICE THE PARALLEL LOGO AND STICK IT IN A BASE SET IF NEEDED. IT'S THE PERFECT CRIME! NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW! EVERY TIME I SEE THIS GUY I THINK HIS NAME IS BENSON HEDGES

THAT REFERENCE IS TOO OBSCURE, BEST MOVE ON TO THE INSERTS

YAAAAAAY! MORE VINTAGE REPRINTS! I LOVE THESE. STILL HAVEN'T FINISHED THE PREVIOUS 47 VINTAGE REPRINT SETS BUT I LOVE THESE CARDS I CAN'T AFFORD AND WILL NEVER FIND. THIS ONE IS A 1948 BOWMAN BOB FELLER WHICH DOESN'T FIT THE SIZE OF MODERN CARD SO YOU GET EXTRA BORDER ADDED VALUE

ANOTHER HISTORY OF THE GAME INSERT SET! YIPPEE! THIS ONE COMMEMORATES A POWERFUL WHITE DUDE PATTING HIMSELF ON THE BACK FOR MEETING THE BAREST OF MINIMUMS OF HUMAN DECENCY. HAPPY'S IN THE HALL OF FAME, MINNIE MIÑOSO AND BUCK O'NEIL ARE NOT

TOPPS LOVES THESE HORIZONTAL CARDS SPLIT IN TWO WITH TWO PLAYERS ON THEM. EVERYONE COLLECTS THESE TWO PLAYERS BUT ME

THIS ONE'S INTERESTING, OLDY-MOLDY SEPIA TONED PICTURE OF A BASEBALL ON THE FRONT

NEON PURPLE RADICAL PICTURE OF A NEW BASEBALL ON THE BACK. THE BASEBALL LOOKS BEAT ALL TO SHIT BECAUSE IT'S JUICED TO THE GILLS AND GOT HIT 600 FEET DOWN INTO A RAVINE BY A BACKUP SECOND BASEMAN

OK I LEGIT LIKE THE 1984 DESIGN TRIBUTE ARCHIVES PREVIEW WHATEVER SET. I AM ON RECORD AS VASTLY PREFERRING THE 1983 DESIGN BUT '84 LOOKS DAMN GOOD TOO. I GUESS NEXT YEAR IS 1985? UNLESS TOPPS JUST SAYS FUCK IT AND DOES '87 OR '89 AGAIN BECAUSE MARKETING RESEARCH. I DON'T BOTHER LOOKING AT THE SELL SHEETS ANYMORE I DON'T KNOW THESE THINGS

B-E-S-U-R-E-T-O-B-U-Y-T-H-E-N-E-W-L-I-M-I-T-E-D-E-D-I-T-I-O-N-T-O-P-P-S-N-O-W-C-A-R-D-S-S-O-Y-O-U-D-O-N-T-S-U-F-F-E-R-F-R-O-M-F-O-M-O

WHAT THE FUCK IS FOMO

WHY DID I EVEN SEND OFF FOR THIS DECODER RING

I'M JUST JOKING, I CRAP ALL OVER TOPPS BECAUSE I TRULY LOVE ALL THESE DUMB CARDS. I MEAN LOOK AT THIS A BABE RUTH CARD OUT OF A 2019 PACK. 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF SOMETHING OR OTHER GREATEST PLAYERS! I WONDER WHO ELSE IS IN THIS SET

HOLY SHIT A HUNDRED AND FIFTY CARD INSERT SET???

AND THERE'S AN ON-DEMAND VERSION OF IT TOO??????

UGGGGH I'M GONNA GO READ SOME COMICS

JOY OF A COMPLETED TEAM SET - 1989 BOWMAN

SO MONTHS AGO A GUY ON TWITTER POSTED A CHALLENGE. HE POSTED A FRAGMENT OF THE BACK OF A BASEBALL CARD AND OFFERED GOODIES TO ANYONE WHO COULD TELL HIM WHAT CARD IT WAS GOT A PRIZE. MY FRIENDS, I CAN TELL THE BACK OF A 1993 TOPPS CARD FROM 500 METERS AWAY AND A TRIVIAL AMOUNT OF RESEARCH CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS CARD #326, GARY VARSHO. i WON THE PRIZE AND AMONGST THE WINNINGS WAS A COMPLETE 1989 BOWMAN BRAVES TEAM SET.

I HAVE KIND OF LOW-KEY IGNORED 1989 BOWMAN BECAUSE 1) PACKS WERE ALWAYS OVERPRICED BECAUSE GRIFFEY 2) COMMONS WERE ALWAYS TURNING UP EVERYWHERE BECAUSE OF PEOPLE RIPPING FOR GRIFFEY 3) A FACTORY SET IS CHEAP AS DIRT ANYWAY. SO I GREATLY APPRECIATE INSTANT BRAVES TEAM SET. CARD NUMBERS ARE 262-279, NO BACKS BECAUSE THEY ARE BORING AND NO MARK LEMKE BOWMAN ROOKIE BECAUSE TOPPS HAS ALWAYS HATED ME. ENJOY THE SET

Cool Stuff #4 - Edgar

THE SOUNDTRACK TO THIS ENTIRE BLOG IS NOW MUPPET SMOOTH JAZZ WITH AN ELMO GUITAR SOLO. LISTEN AND ENJOY THE QUIET FUZZY STORM



MOAR COOL STUFF. FINALLY. I THOUGH FOR SURE I HAD POSTED MORE COOL STUFF THAN THIS, BUT WE'RE ON POST NUMBER FOUR I GUESS. GOT WAY MORE IN THE DRAFT FOLDER SO I BEST GET A POSTIN'. BOUGHT THIS CARD AGES AGO, BEFORE THE HALL OF FAME RESULTS CAME IN EVEN

1996 TOPPS FINEST EDGAR MARTINEZ REFRACTOR

ISN'T THIS A PURDY CARD? THE SHINYNESS KINDA COMES THROUGH IN THE SCAN. MAYBE IF I HAD SCANNED IT STRAIGHT INSTEAD OF CROOKED IT WOULD LOOK FLAT AND LIFELESS. HAPPY LITTLE ACCIDENTS. THIS IS ONE OF '96 FINEST BETTER DESIGNS TOO. DAT BANNER. DAT FONT. DOSE CIRCLEY CROSSSEY BACKGROUND THINGS. THIS IS A NICE LOOKING CARD. I KNOW, I KNOW, I HAVEN'T FREED THE FINEST YET. I'M THINKIN' BOUT IT.

GOTTA LOVE A CARD NUMBER THAT IS A GRID WITH 4 SEPARATE PIECES OF INFORMATION. AT LEAST THE NUMBER IS LARGE AND BOLD FOR MY OLD-ASS EYES. SO THE STORY OF THIS IS WAAAAAAY BACK LAST WINTER I WAS MOOCHING AROUND THE FLEA MARKET LOOKING FOR COOL STUFF I COULD AFFORD WITH LIMITED FUNDS. THE LAST REMAINING CARD SELLER DUDE WAS THERE AND HE POINTED OUT A BOX OF INSERTS HOPING I'D BUY SOMETHING ALREADY. I DUG THRU IT AND SAW THIS AND WAS BEWITCHED BY THE IMMINENT HALL OF FAMER SHINY. THE PRICE WAS A BUCK MORE THAN I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE PAID, BUT SINCE IT WAS PROBABLY INSTANTLY MY BEST EDGAR CARD I THOUGHT WHAT THE HELL. WHY QUIBBLE ABOUT A BUCK WHEN AN EDGAR SHIIIINY IS ON THE LINE

I GOT THIS MAYBE ON MY LAST TRIP TO THE CARD GUY AT THE FLEA MARKET NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT. HE WAS TRYING TO SELL ME A LARGE BULK LOT OF MYSTERY COMMONS AND SUCH (ME: WHAT KIND OF YEARS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? HIM: [UNINTELLIGABLE MUMBLING]) AND I WAS LIKE, YEAH I'M INTERESTED, I'LL BE BACK WHEN I HAVE THE CASH

MY FRIENDS, I HAVE NOT HAD THE CASH SINCE. MAYBE SOME DAY. GOT ME A SHINY EDGAR THO

NOT DIME CARD JUNK - CARDS OF DUBIOUS PROVENANCE

NOW THAT I HAVE A REASONABLY WORKING SCANNER AGAIN, I DUG THROUGH SOME BOXES LOOKING FOR SOME MORE DIME BOX CARDS TO SCAN. WHILE RANDOMLY GRABBING SOME INTERESTING STUFF I REALIZED THAT SOME OF THE CARDS PULLED WERE NOT ACTUALLY FROM DIME BOXES AND I HAD NO IDEA WHERE THEY CAME FROM. THIS IS HOW ORGANIZED I AM, FOLKS, MYSTERY CARDS EVERYWHERE. THE CARDS WERE LEGIT COOL THOUGH AND I HAVEN'T ACTUALLY BEEN IN THE ROOM WITH A DIME BOX IN SEVERAL MONTHS SO SCREW IT, GONNA POST THEM ANYWAYS

2015 TOPPS HIGH TEK FOOTBALL EMMITT SMITH PURPLE WAVY VARIATION

HEY IT'S FEETSBALL SEASON SO WHY NOT A FOOTIEBOWL CARD. I HAD NO EARTHLY IDEA THAT TOPPS TEK FOOTBALL WAS EVEN A THING. AND ALTHOUGH I HATE FLORIDA, THE COWBOYS AND THE NFL IN GENERAL EMMITT SMITH IS AWESOME. AND THE PURPLY WAVY DESIGN GIVES THIS CARD A COOL ＡＥＳＴＨＥＴＩＣ　ポフ異

2014 TOPPS MLS SONS OF BEN

99% CERTAIN I GOT THIS FROM STALE GUM SOMEHOW. 96% CERTAIN HE'S ON THE CARD SOMEWHERE

2016 ??? WRESTLING LEGEND IVAN KOLOFF

UMMM WHAT? COMMUNIST RASSLER ADVERTISING BOX BREAKS. 1 OF A THOUSAND! RARER THAN ANY GIVEN CARD IN THE LIVING SET! I COULD WRITE A NUMBER ON IT AND YOU COULDN'T PROVE IT WASN'T THAT EXACT SERIAL NUMBER, COULD YOU? I WOULDN'T DO THAT THOUGH, THIS CARD IS BADASS

2015 QYPSY GUEEN BARTOLO COLON MINI SILVER #192/199

SO I FEEL LIKE I MIGHT HAVE ALREADY DONE A POST ON THIS CARD. ALSO I MAY HAVE ACTUALLY PULLED THIS OUT OF A DIME BOX? I REMEMBER SPECIFICALLY THE JOY I FELT PULLING OUT OF SOME KIND OF BOX AT THE LOCAL CARD SHOW. BUT WHO CARES, I'MMA POST IT AGAIN. JUST LOOK AT IT. SO MAJESTIC. BARTOLO USING EVERY LAST MILLIMETER OF SPACE ON THAT MINI CARD THOWING WHAT IS CERTAINLY A STRIKEOUT PITCH. PINSTRIPES FOR DAYS. THIS CARD SPARKS JOY. I KINDA WANT TO START A GQ MINI COLLECTION NOW WITH THIS AS A CENTERPIECE

1989-90 7TH INNING SKETCH KEVIN BUTT

NO IDEA WHAT THIS IS OR WHERE IT CAME FROM BUT I KNOW EXACTLY WHY IT'S IN MY POSSESSION. DERRIERES ASIDE, ODDBALL HOCKEY GOALIE CARDS ARE PRETTY DAMN COOL. MR BUTT NEVER MADE IT TO THE NHL, BUT HE HAD A DECENT CAREER IN THE MINOR LEAGUES, WHICH ARE WAY MORE FUN ANYWAY. DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT 7TH INNING SKETCH BUT I DID FIND THIS COOL ARTICLE ABOUT HOW THEY TRIED TO SNEAK LINDROS CARDS INTO ONE OF THEIR SETS WITHOUT HAVING THE RIGHTS TO DO SO

COMIC IMAGES THE MASTERPIECE COLLECTION PROMO CARD

EVERYONE KNOWS THAT BASEBALL CARDS WERE COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL IN 1993, BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT ALL TRADING CARDS WERE IN FACT COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL AT THAT TIME AS WELL? NON-SPORTS ESPECIALLY, THERE WERE A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF NON-SPORTS SETS AND COMPANIES AT THAT TIME PRODUCING CARDS OF ALMOST ANY SUBJECT YOU COULD THINK OF. COMIC IMAGES WAS ONE OF THE BEST AT FINDING NEW ODDBALL SUBJECTS FOR A CARD SET AND DECIDED TO GO WITH ART MASTERPIECES. THIS PROMO CARD IS OF HENRI DE TOULOUSE-LATREC'S AT THE MOULIN ROUGE, THE DANCE, BUT FLIPPED LEFT TO RIGHT FOR SOME REASON. EVEN WEIRDER IS THERE IS A CARD FOR THIS PAINTING IN THE MAIN SET, BUT IT HAS THE IMAGE OF BALL AT MOULIN ROUGE INSTEAD. REMEMBER THAT BIT OF TRIVIA NEXT TIME SOMEONE BRINGS UP THE 1985 GARY PETTIS CARD. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SETS I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO HAVE BUT WILL NEVER TAKE THE TIME TO TRACK DOWN

2013 PANINI COOPERSTOWN COLGAN'S CHIPS BROOKS ROBINSON

I LOVE LOVE LOVE NEW CARDS BASED ON ANCIENT ODDBALL SETS I WILL NEVER EVER GET MY HANDS ON EVEN A PSA NEGATIVE 1 BEAT ASS TYPE CARD FROM. THESE WERE ONE PER PACK IN 2013 COOPERSTOWN WHICH WAS GREAT, BUT THE PACKS WERE $3.99 WHICH WASN'T SO GREAT. YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO FIND THESE IN DIME BOXES BUT THEY CAN BE HIDING IN QUARTER AND UP BOXES. AND BY HIDING I MEAN IT, ROUND CARDS ARE EASY TO MISS. FOR SOME REASON I THOUGHT THE ORIGINAL CARDS WERE IN POTATO CHIPS BUT SEEING THE FLAVORS ARE MINT AND VIOLET I'M HAPPY COLGAN'S MADE GUM INSTEAD

1981 TOPPS COCA-COLA BRUCE SUTTER

BRUCE SUTTER IS IN THE HALL OF FAME AND HE'S STILL GETTING A PAYCHECK FROM THE BRAVES, HA HA. BRUCE'S BASE TOPPS CARD HAS HIM AS A CUB (WITH ALL-STAR STRIPE!) SO THIS IS KINDA LIKE A TRADED CARD FOR HIM. EXCEPT FOR HE'S ALSO IN THE 1981 TOPPS TRADED SET SO MAYBE NOT. THIS IS A DIFFERENT PHOTO FROM THE TRADED SET, THAT ONE HE'S GOT THE BEARD AND AN ACTUAL POWDER BLUE CARDINALS UNI ON. THIS ONE'S GOT AIRBRUSHING AND A COCA-COLA LOGO ON IT THOUGH SO THERE'S NO WAY OF DETERMINING WHICH IS THE SUPERIOR BRUCE CARD OF 1981. WAIT, NEVERMIND, IT'S THE 1981 FLEER CARD WHERE HE'S IN THE BATTING POSE. COCA-COLA CARDS ARE WAY COOL THOUGH AND I WISH I HAD MORE OF THEM

1986 LARRY FRITSCH NEGRO LEAGUE BASEBALL STARS

ALL JACKIE CARDS ARE AMAZING AND WONDERFUL AND STUPENDOUS AND JACKIE ROBINSON KANSAS CITY MONARCHS CARDS ARE AMAZINGER AND WONDERFULEST AND STUPENDOUSEREST. LIKE MANY COLLECTORS WHO HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED ALL OR MOST OF THE BASE SETS FROM THE EIGHTIES I HAVE BELATEDLY BECOME ENAMORED WITH ALL THE ODDBALL SETS FROM FRITSCH AND RENATA GALASSO AND TCMA. OH WHY DIDN'T I RESPECT THESE CARDS IN MY WAYWARD YOUTH. WHY DID I WASTE MY MONEY ON THE JUNK WAX INSTEAD OF THE ODDBALLS. OH WHAT I WOULD GIVE TO GO BACK IN TIME AND SPEND THE MONEY I DROPPED ON 88 DONRUSS ON A BASEBALL IMMORTALS SET INSTEAD. I FEEL I HAVE GONE OFF-TOPIC. ANYWAY, JACKIE ROBINSON IS COOL, ALWAYS BUY HIS CARDS

LATE 70S FLEER STICKER SEATTLE MARINERS

TRIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   STICKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 GAMES. I'M SURE ONE OF YOU KNOWS INSTANTLY WHAT YEAR THIS STICKER CAME FROM NOW

THAT WAS FUN. IF YOU LIKED IT LET ME KNOW AND I'LL DO MORE POSTS LIKE THIS WHERE I SNAG RANDOM-ASS CARDS FROM DUBIOUSLY-LABELED BOXES
