CANADA CARDS SECOND BATCH - ARCHIVESY INSERTS

THIS WEEK HAS ACCIDENTALLY BECOME A BREAK FROM TWITTER NOT BECAUSE OF THE OBVIOUS REASON THAT IT HAS BECOME AN ANNOYING LOVECRAFTIAN EXISTENTIAL NIGHTMARE BUT BECAUSE I'M SO EXHAUSTED I'VE MOSTLY BEEN SLEEPING AND/OR STARING INTO SPACE SINCE SUNDAY. ALSO TWITTER KEEPS TRYING TO TRICK ME INTO LETTING THEM FACEBOOK ALL MY PERSONAL DATA BY POPPING UP WITH THAT 'YOU'RE IN CONTROL' UNSKIPPABLE POPUP THAT I REFUSE TO CLICK ON EVER. I KNOW THEY'RE ALREADY STEALING ALL MY DATA BUT I SURE AIN'T GIVING THEM PERMISSION. AS A RESULT I'VE MISSED A LOT OF THE COMPLAINING ABOUT 2020 ARCHIVES. ARE PEOPLE STILL COMPLAINING ABOUT ARCHIVES? FOR ALL I KNOW EVERYONE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT SOME OTHER PRODUCT BY NOW. MAYBE BOWMAN MEGA PLATINUM SAPPHIRE OR GINTER X CHROME NOW DROPPED LIKE A WET FART THIS WEEK. I'M SURE SOMETHING HORRIFIC HAPPENED THIS WEEK BECAUSE SOMETHING HORRIFIC HAPPENS EVERY WEEK NOW SO I'LL WASTE MY TIME WRITING DUMB CRAP ABOUT BASEBALL CARDS INSTEAD

ALL THE CARDS I BOUGHT FROM BASEBALLCARDSTORE.CA OR WHATEVER IT'S CALLED ARE SCANNED AND I DON'T WANT TO TRY TO SET UP THE SCANNER ON MY NEW(ISH) LAPTOP BECAUSE IT'S A PAIN IN THE ASS TO SET ANYTHING UP ON THE NEW(ISH) LAPTOP  SO THOSE CARDS ARE ALL YER GONNA SEE FOR A WHILE. IN THE FIRST BATCH I SCOOPED UP THE 2010 CARDS YO MOMMA THREW OUT INSERTS SO THIS TIME I ATTACKED ANOTHER INSERT SET I'M WORKING ON, 2010 VINTAGE LEGENDS. WHILE YO MOMMA CARDS ARE STRAIGHT UP REPRINTS THE VINTAGE LEGENDS ARE IN THE STYLE OF WHAT ARCHIVES MORPHED INTO IN 2003 WITH THE HALL OF FAMER TYPE PLAYERS ON RANDOM-ASS TOPPS CARD DESIGNS. THIS SHIT IS CATNIP TO ME AND I LOVE THEM ALL EVEN THOUGH I GAVE UP TRYING TO COLLECT EVERYTHING AFTER BERGER'S BEST. HERE'S ALL THE VINTAGE LEGENDS FROM THE SECOND DIMEBOX ORDER

2010 TOPPS VINTAGE LEGENDS 1992 JOHNNY MIZE

JOHNNY MIZE IS A GREAT PLAYER AND NOBODY GIVES A SHIT. I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH THE GIANTS. ANY GREAT PLAYER NOT NAMED WILLIE MAYS TURNS INVISIBLE AS SOON AS HE PUTS ON THE GIANTS UNIFORM. THERE'S SO MANY HALL OF FAME PLAYERS THAT PLAYED FOR THE GIANTS THAT END UP IN CHEAPO BOXES BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT DODGERS OR YANKEES IT'S RIDICULOUS. HERE'S A GUY WHO RETIRED IN THE EARLY 50S LOOKING AWKWARD ON A 1992 DESIGN. IT STILL LOOKS PRETTY GOOD THOUGH BECAUSE 1992 DESIGN. DOUBLE BORDERS, BABY. TOPPS SHOULDA DONE A DESIGN LIKE THIS WHEN THEY WERE PLAYING AROUND WITH THE BORDERLESS CARDS. WHILE IN EDITING VIEW THE WHITE BORDER BLENDS INTO THE BACKGROUND SO IT KINDA LOOKS BORDERLESS AND IT LOOKS PRETTY DOPE

HERE'S THE BACK OF THE CARDS. THEY'RE PRETTY UGLY. PANINI BACK UGLY. THEY DO THE JOB THOUGH I GUESS. THERE WERE TWO SERIES OF THIS INSERT SET, THE FIRST ONE WAS IN 2010 SERIES 2, ALL THE CARDS I'M SHOWING OFF HERE ARE FROM THE UPDATE SERIES BECAUSE I NEVER BUY ENOUGH UPDATE SERIES PACKS. THE SUPER DUMB THING IS THAT BOTH SERIES HAVE THE SAME 25 PLAYERS IN THEM WITH DIFFERENT DESIGNS. YOU'D THINK THEY'D AT LEAST USE FIFTY DIFFERENT DESIGNS BUT NAH, THEY DUPLICATED DESIGNS TOO. I DON'T KNOW WHICH DESIGNS GOT THE SHAFT BUT 1988 AND 1989 IS IN BOTH SERIES BECAUSE WE SURELY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH CARDS WITH THOSE DESIGNS. THE 1988 FONTS ARE UTTERLY BUTCHERED TOO, IT'S HORRIBLE. BIG JAWN'S SERIES 2 CARD IS A 1965 TOPPS DESIGN BUT I PREFER THIS ONE BECAUSE THE '65 HAS HIM AS A CARDINAL. SCREW THE CARDINALS, SO GLAD THE BRAVES DON'T HAVE TO PLAY THOSE PISSANTS THIS YEAR

YOU KNOW WHAT THIS SET IS NOW I'M NOT TYPING OUT TITLES ANY MORE 1977 CY YOUNG

1977 TOPPS IS SO GOOD LOOKING WITH THAT ALL STAR BANNER. CY YOUNG RETIRED 22 YEARS BEFORE THE FIRST ALL STAR GAME. THERE IS NO ALL STAR BANNER ON CY'S BASEBALL-REFERENCE PAGE. THERE IS ONLY ONE OTHER CARD IN THE SET THAT USES THE ALL-STAR DESIGN. IT'S THE CY YOUNG CARD FROM SERIES 2. IN CASE YOU'RE CONFUSED, SERIES 2 IS THE FIRST SERIES OF THE VINTAGE LEGENDS SET. THIS IS A DEEPLY WEIRD SET. THE FIRST CY YOUNG CARD USES THE 1987 ALL STAR DESIGN AND I CAN'T REALLY DECIDE WHICH ONE I LIKE BETTER

1970 OZZIE SMITH


A LOT OF THESE CARDS ARE A MESS BUT WHEN THEY HIT, THEY HIT HARD. YOU COULD SNEAK THIS CARD INTO A 1970 TOPPS BINDER AND IT WOULD TAKE A WHILE FOR ANYONE TO FIGURE IT OUT. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CARDS IN THE SET, MAYBE SECOND BEHIND THE EDDIE MURRAY FROM THE UPDATE SET. THAT ONE IS IN A BUTCHERED 1963 TOPPS DESIGN BUT WHILE THEY FUCKED UP THE FONT AND USED COLORS FOR THE BOTTOM BORDER THAT WERE NEVER EVER FOUND IN THE ORIGINAL SET IT ALL LOOKS FANTASTIC. MAYBE OZZIE IS MY FAVORITE DESIGN THEY GOT RIGHT CARD AND EDDIE IS MY FAVORITE WHAT THE FUCK DESIGN* CARD. OZZIE'S SERIES 2 CARD IS IN THE 1969 DESIGN AND IT'D BE PRETTY GOOD IF THE WONKY TEAM NAME FONT WASN'T SO DISTRACTING

2001 ROY CAMPANELLA


WHY THE HELL IS THE HOME TEAM ADVANTAGE LOGO ON THIS CARD? DOES ANYONE GIVE A SHIT ABOUT A PARALLEL FACTORY SET? I MEAN, MAYBE NOW THAT EVERYTHING'S GONE INSANE BUT IN 2010? DID TOPPS EVEN DO HTA FACTORY SETS IN 2010? THEY ALSO DID THIS IN THE YO MOMMA SET WITH THE VLAD GUERRERO CARD. WHY?? WAS THERE SOME KIND OF HTA PUSH FROM UPPER MANAGEMENT IN MID 2010? I DON'T UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE CHOICES IN THIS SET. I ALSO HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT IF 2001 IS A GOOD DESIGN OR NOT. IT'S KINDA ICONIC NOW THANKS TO THE 50 YEARS THING AND ICHIRO BUT IT'S ALSO KINDA UGLY? BUT BETTER LOOKING THAN A LOT OF THE TOPPS DESIGNS OF THE TIME? I HAVEN'T EVEN LOOKED AT MY 2001 CARDS IN YEARS, I HOPE THEY HAVEN'T ALL BRICKED. I'M PRETTY SURE MY SET IS IN SLEEVES BUT MY DOUBLES (AND I HAVE A LOOOOOOOOOOOT OF DOUBLES) AREN'T. CAMPY'S SERIES 2 CARD IS A VERY SIMPLE 1979 DESIGN AND I THINK I PREFER THAT

2002 JOHNNY BENCH


2002 TOPPS IS ONE OF THIS YEAR'S ARCHIVE DESIGNS AND MOST OF THE REACTIONS I'VE SEEN ONLINE HAVE BEEN SOME VARIATION OF "BOOOOOOOOOOOOO". I CAN'T HATE THIS ON SET THOUGH, SURE THE WAVING RIBBONS ARE A LITTLE GOOFY BUT IT'S A BRIGHT, SIMPLE UNOFFENSIVE DESIGN. GIVE IT A WHITE BORDER, PUT THE POSITION DESIGNATION WHERE THE TOPPS LOGO IS AND STICK TOPPS UP ON THE RIGHT CORNER WHERE IT ALREADY IS AND IT WOULD LOOK LIKE A 70'S DESIGN. I HAVE NOT LEFT THE HOUSE IN 18 YEARS SO I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY 2020 ARCHIVES CARDS IN HAND YET BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE THEY LOOK MUCH DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL SET, OR THIS ONE FOR THAT MATTER. THE CARD LOOKS GOOD AND HEY, IT'S JOHNNY BENCH. JOHNNY'S SERIES 2 CARD IS IN THE 1957 DESIGN AND HONESTLY I THINK THIS ONE LOOKS BETTER. I'M PROBABLY WRONG BUT YEAH, WELL, THAT'S JUST, LIKE, MY OPINION, MAN

1989 THURMAN MUNSON


WHY THE HELL ISN'T THURMAN MUNSON IN THE GODDAMN HALL OF FAME

EVERY STINKING ROTTEN YANKEE EVER** IS IN THE GODDAMN HALL OF FAME EXCEPT THURMAN MUNSON

THE GODDAMN HALL OF FAME IS STUPID AND I HATE IT

OK GOT THAT OUT OF MY SYSTEM. I LIKE THIS CARD IT LOOKS GOOD. THERE'S THAT WAVEY RIBBON ON THE DESIGN AGAIN SO DON'T HATE ON THE 2002 RIBBONS. MY DEFAULT OPINION ON 1989 TOPPS IS THAT IT'S A LAZY BORING DESIGN AND EVERY TIME I LOOK AT ONE OF THE CARDS I'M LIKE, 'HEY THAT'S A NICE LOOKING CARD'. THIS IS A NICE LOOKING CARD. MUNSON'S SERIES 2 CARD IS ON A 1959 DESIGN AND THE PICTURE LOOKS LIKE A MUGSHOT TAKEN AFTER HE WAS ARRESTED FOR STARTING A BAR FIGHT AND THROWING A JUKEBOX AT A COP. I WAS CERTAIN I'D LIKE THE '89 CARD BETTER BUT NOW THAT I'VE LOOKED AT THE OTHER CARD I'M NOT SURE

1998 TRIS SPEAKER


SO. 1998 TOPPS. NOT GONNA LIE, IN 1998 I WENT APESHIT OVER THIS DESIGN. THE GOLD BORDER LOOKED SO COOL. DAT BEVELED BORDER THING. THE GOLD FOIL NAME! ON TOP OF LOGO WALLPAPER STUFF! SO UH, YEAH. THIS HASN'T AGED WELL AT ALL. THE LATE 90S WERE A STRANGE TIME. SPEAKER'S OTHER CARD IS ON THE 1981 TOPPS DESIGN AND THAT ONE LOOKS WAAAAY BETTER. THAT CARD DOESN'T HAVE A GHOST IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE PHOTO THOUGH. HOW MANY CARDS HAVE UFOS? NOT MANY I THINK

YAY I DID A THING. I'LL BE BACK SOON WITH MORE DIME CARDS AS SOON AS I RECOVER FROM MY NEXT NERVOUS BREAKDOWN

* ANOTHER WTF CARD IS EDDIES SERIES 2. IT'S GOT A PRETTY DECENT 1964 DESIGN BUT FOR SOME REASON EVERY CARD IS OFF-CENTERED TOP-BOTTOM AT 95-5%. TOPPS DOES THIS OCCASIONALLY ON THESE VINTAGE REIMAGINED CARDS AND IT'S BEWILDERING TO ME

**EXCEPT BERNIE WILLIAMS WHAT THE FUCK

I'd have no problem with Munson being inducted into Cooperstown. He's one of only a handful of Yankees I enjoy collecting.
