ONLINE DIMEBOX BLASTER - PART 3

 NO DILLYDALLYING THIS TIME, FULL SPEED AHEAD TO JUNKY CARDS

2020 BIG LEAGUE NL DOUBLES LEADERS

CATEGORY - BRAVES

RONALD ACUÑA CARDS ARE DIFFICULT RIGHT NOW BUT I CONSIDER OZZIE ALBIES TO BASICALLY BE ACUÑA LITE SO I GET THE SAME AMOUNT OF HAPPINESS WHEN I FIND ONE OF HIS CARDS. I HAVE NEVER BEEN A HUGE FAN OF BIG LEAGUE BUT I AM STILL OUTRAGED BY FANATOPPS' IMMENSE BUNGLING OF THIS YEAR'S SET. THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS REALLY DID CAUSE ME TO START MISSING OPENING DAY

2022 TOPPS IAN ANDERSON

CATEGORY - BRAVES

I HAVE BEEN NEGLECTING MY TOPPS BRAVES TEAM SETS FOR YEARS AND THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO START CATCHING UP. IT'S ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY TO JUST BUY THE DAMN TEAM SETS BUT THAT WOULD BE EASY AND CHEAPER

2022 ALLEN & GINTER JORGE SOLER

CATEGORY - BRAVES

ONE SWING AND I LOVE JORGE FOREVER. THIS CARD SHOULD'VE BEEN A BRAVES CARD BUT WHATEVER. I THINK THIS IS A SHORT PRINT AS WELL? I DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW GINTER WORKS ANYMORE AND THE LCS NO LONGER HAS ANY IN THE DIME BOX AND THESE CARDS GET SNAPPED UP IMMEDIATELY ON THE WEBSITE SO I'M HAPPY WITH WHAT I CAN GET

2021 CHRONICLES PLAYBOOK DRAFT PICKS AZEEZ OJULARI

CATEGORY - OTHER TEAM (BULLDOGS), CHRONICLES

LOVE THE DAWGS IN THE GEORGIA UNIS. AZEEZ GOT DRAFTED BY THE GIANTS AND LOOKS LIKE HE'S DOING WELL IN THE NFL. THIS IS A SURPRISE CHRONICLES CARD. CHRONICLES MIGHT NEED TO BE ITS OWN CATEGORY, I KEEP COMPULSIVELY SNAPPING THEM UP AND IT DOESN'T REALLY FIT WANTLIST OR HIGH END

1994 MICKEY MANTLE'S LONG SHOTS ALBERT BELLE

CATEGORY - INSERT, SUPERSTAR

UPPER DECK INSERTS GOT WEIRD IN 1994 BUT I'M NOT PASSING ON SOMETHING THIS SHINY. I DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND THE THEME OF THE SET. WHY ARE THEY LONG SHOTS, WHY IS MICKEY INVOLVED. NICE LOOKING CARD THO. AND I'M DECLARING ALBERT A SUPERSTAR, DUDE MASHED AND IT'S NOT HIS FAULT THE WRITERS DICK ALLEN'D HIM

1993 SCORE BOYS OF SUMMER DAVID HULSE

CATEGORY - INSERT

I HAVE NONE OF THESE CARDS WHICH ISN'T SURPRISING SINCE I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN A PACK OF 1993 SCORE, LET ALONE THE SUPER PACKS THESE WERE INSERTED INTO. IT'S A VERY STRIKING CARD AND I WISH I HAD THE KLESKO INSTEAD OF THIS DUDE BUT A HULSE IN THE HAND IS WORTH TWO RYANS ON COMC OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT

2000 UPPER DECK LEGENDS GREG MADDUX 20TH CENTURY LEGENDS

CATEGORY - BRAVES

THE FOLLOWUP TO UPPER DECK'S FIRST LEGENDS SET IS INFERIOR TO THE ORIGINAL DESPITE BEING ON FULL FOILBOARD STOCK. OR MAYBE BECAUSE? I SAW GREG MADDUX INSERTY LOOKING THING AND YELLED GIBE NOW. THIS WAS IN FACT A SUBSET CARD BUT WHO CARES. THIS DESIGN REMINDS ME A LOT OF THE FUTURE DOCUMENTARY DISASTER, UD APPARENTLY HAD IDEAS FOR A SPREADSHEET LOOKING CARD FOR A LONG TIME

1991 PEPSI RED SOX JOHN MARZANO

CATEGORY - ODDBALL

WEIRD REGIONAL FOOD ODDBALLS I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING I NEED IN MY SWEATY HANDS. BEING A COKE FAN WHO HAS NEVER STEPPED FOOT IN NEW ENGLAND THIS SET COMPLETELY PASSED ME BY. THIS CARD LOOKED VERY SCORE-LIKE AND THEN I CHECKED THE BACK

OH HELL YEAH THAT'S STRAIGHT UP 1990 SCORE. I'M MAKING A LOT OF PROGRESS ON MY SCORE COMPLETIONIST PROJECT I NEVER KNOW I WAS WORKING ON WITH THIS LOT

2022 HERITAGE KYLE MULLER RC

CATEGORY - BRAVES

MY TOPPS HERITAGE TEAM SETS HAVE BEEN HORRIBLY NEGLECTED AS WELL. WHY AM I BUILDING ALL THESE TEAM SETS

2022 BOWMAN CHROME RODOLFO CASTRO RC

CATEGORY - INSERT, VAPORWAVE

I DO NOT KNOW WHO RODOLFO CASTRO IS AND I ACTIVELY DISLIKE BOWMAN CHROME BUT A SHINY VAPORWAVE CARD? YES, HA HA HA, YES! RODOLFO IS YOUNG AND GETTING SOME PLAYING TIME FOR PITTSBURGH, SO YEAH, NICE PICKUP IF I SAY SO MYSELF

UP NEXT - MOAR BARVES, MOAR CHROME AND SOME GOLD

BIGGUNS #2 - NEWFANGLED SPORTSCASTER

NEXT UP FOR THE BIGGUNS IS ANOTHER CARD I GOT FROM DUCKS. THIS WAS IN A DOLLAR BOX, WHICH ASTOUNDED ME BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL IT WAS BUT I KNEW OF SIMILAR CARDS THAT ARE USUALLY PRICED MORE THAN A BUCK A POP. ESPECIALLY FOR SOMEONE LIKE WILT. LET US LEARN WHAT THE HELL THIS THING IS TOGETHER

1995 GROLIER STORY OF AMERICA WILT CHAMBERLAIN

LET ME START OFF THIS POST BY SAYING DEFINITIVELY THAT WILT CHAMBERLAIN IS THE GOAT. AND NOT A CHARLIE BROWN GOAT, THE KIDS' VERNACULAR GREATEST OF ALL TIME GOAT. BUT WAIT, ISN'T MICHAEL JORDAN THE GOAT? KAREEM? LEBRON? YES. THEY ARE ALL GOATS. THERE'S ENOUGH ROOM IN THIS WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS FOR PLENTY OF GOATS AND WILT IS DEFINITELY A GOAT. FORGET ABOUT THE STATS, WHICH ARE OBJECTIVELY ABSURD, AND DISREGARD ALL THE AWARDS OVER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THAT PAGE, AND JUST LOOK AT WHAT THE MAN DID HERE. HE SCORED 100 POINTS IN A SINGLE BASKETBALL GAME ALL BY HIMSELF. IN AN ODDBALL GAME IN HERSHEY, PENNSYLVANIA OF ALL PLACES. WHOLE TEAMS SOMETIMES CAN'T SCORE THAT MANY POINTS IN A GAME. AND HE EMBARASSED THE NEW YORK KNICKS AT THE SAME TIME WHICH IS ALSO FUN. YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN THIS PHOTO A HUNDRED TIMES BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THE ONLY PHOTOS OF THE GAME THAT EXISTS BECAUSE NO ONE CARED ABOUT A LATE SEASON GAME BETWEEN THE WARRIORS AND KNICKS AT A NEUTRAL VENUE IN 1962. OR BASKETBALL IN GENERAL FOR THAT MATTER

FIRST THING I THOUGHT WHEN I SAW THIS CARD WAS 'HELL YEAH, HUGE WILT CARD FOR A BUCK'. SECOND THING IS 'THIS SPORTSCASTER CARD LOOKS WEIRD'. THIS HOWEVER IS NOT A SPORTSCASTER CARD, IT'S FROM GROLIER'S STORY OF AMERICA SERIES FROM 1995. GROLIER WAS AN ENCYCLOPEDIA COMPANY THAT SOLD A LOT OF EDUCATIONAL PRODUCTS TO LIBRARIES AND SUCH AND THEY PRODUCED A FEW OF THESE CARD-BASED HISTORY SETS THAT WERE SOLD IN PACKS THROUGH A SUBSCRIPTION. I NEVER KNEW ABOUT THESE UNTIL I SAW THIS CARD AND I STILL DON'T KNOW A HECK OF A LOT ABOUT THEM, IT'S GOT AN ENORMOUS CHECKLIST WITH A LOT OF COOL CELEBRITIES MIXED IN. I DON'T KNOW OF ANYONE WHO WOULD WANT TO COLLECT THIS ENTIRE THING, BUT A COOL CARD OF CARY GRANT, OR DICK TRACY, OR THE TWILIGHT ZONE WOULD BE A NEAT FIND

ONLINE DIMEBOX BLASTER - PART 2

 I NEGLECTED TO MENTION IN THE LAST POST THAT THE REASON I'M CALLING THIS PILE OF CARDS A BLASTER IS BECAUSE THE SHIPPING COST ABOUT AS MUCH AS A CHEAP BLASTER DOES. NOT THE CLEARANCE CHEAP BLASTERS I CAN NEVER FIND, THE REGULAR GARBAGE BLASTERS THAT NO ONE WANTS. I SAVE THE EXPENSIVE FANCY BLASTER PRICE FOR MY COMC BLACK FRIDAY BINGE. I REALLY NEED TO GET BACK TO WRITING THOSE POSTS IF I WANT TO GET THEM ALL POSTED BEFORE THIS YEAR'S BATCH ARRIVES. I PLANNED TO HAVE THESE POSTS BE QUICK AND BREEZY SO I CAN HAVE A NICE BACKLOG OF STUFF I CAN POST WHEN I GO INTO MY FREQUENT 'DON'T WRITE ANYTHING FORE THREE WEEKS BECAUSE I GOT OBSESSED WITH A VIDEOGAME' PERIOD BUT I'M ALREADY RAMBLING ON THE OPENING PARAGRAPH. IT'S NOT MY FAULT, I ONLY GOT FOUR HOURS OF SLEEP LAST NIGHT AND I'M OVER COFFEED AND PUNCH DRUNK RIGHT NOW. MAINLY BECAUSE I WAS BUYING MORE DIMEBOX CARDS AT 2AM. OK IT IS MY FAULT. HERE'S SOME CARDS

1995 KROME LADY DEATH STICKER

CATEGORY - NON-SPORT

I WAS ABSOLUTELY NOT PASSING UP ON A COOL CHROMIUM CARD OF AN ANGRY DEMON LADY, IMAGINE MY DELIGHT WHEN I DISCOVERED THIS THING WAS A STICKER. I'VE BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME I DON'T REMEMBER EER SEEING A CHROME STICKER BEFORE. LADY DEATH COMICS HAVE SEVERAL 90S TRADING CARD SETS OUT THERE AND THEY'RE ALL ON CHROMIUM STOCK. THEY'RE ALL FROM KROME PRODUCTIONS AND MY CARDBOARD BRAIN ASSUMED THAT WAS DUE TO THE CARD STOCK UNTIL I REALIZED THE ARTIST'S NAME IS LITERALLY MIKE KROME. THE CHROME CARD STOCK IS MORE APPROPRIATE THAN I THOUGHT

1990 SCORE SUPERSTAR BARRY BONDS

CATEGORY - SUPERSTAR, DUH

I CONTINUE TO SCOOP UP ALL THE UNWANTED BONDS CARDS THE SNOBS STICK THEIR NOSE UP AT. MY SCORE ODDBALL SET GAME IS ALSO VERY WEAK CONSIDERNG HOW I'M OBSESSED WITH THEIR BASE SETS. I HAD A CHANCE TO PICK UP THIS WHOLE SET AT MY FAVORITE ANTIQUE STORE FOR LIKE A BUCK OR TWO BUT I KEPT PASSING IT UP. LA DE DA, TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY. THEN COVID HIT AND THE PLACE GOT BULLDOZED INTO CONDOS AND THERE WAS NO TOMORROW

1981 BASEBALL IMMORTALS MONTE IRVIN 1ST EDITION

CATEGORY - WANTLIST

BASEBALL IMMORTALS IS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST OF SETS I'M FOCUSING ON COLLECTING RIGHT NOW. IF I SEE I CARD I NEED, I GET IT. MONTE IS ALSO ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLAYERS, HE WAS THE FIRST 1953 TOPPS CARD I EVER GOT AND I ENJOY RANDOMLY FINDING HIS CARDS

1981 BASEBALL IMMORTALS JAKE BECKLEY

CATEGORY - WANTLIST

THIS CARD REALLY SELLS THE CHARM OF THIS WEIRD SET. EVERY SO OFTEN YOU GET ONE OF THESE ART CARDS FOR THE PLAYER PICTURE. THIS IS AN ODD ONE SINCE JAKE HAS OLD JUDGE AND T206 CARDS OUT THERE THAT LOOK NOTHING LIKE THIS. HERE'S A BETTER PHOTO OF OL JAKE ON A MORE RECENT CARD. ACCORDING TO THE BACK OF THE CARD, JAKE'S CLAIM TO FAME IS PLAYING MORE GAMES AT FIRST BASE IN BASEBALL HISTORY. I AM HAPPY TO REPORT THAT EDDIE MURRAY HAS SINCE TAKEN THE CROWN. JAKE IS STILL KING OF THE 19TH CENTURY THOUGH

2019 TOPPS UTZ BRAD KELLER RC

CATEGORY - ODDBALL

I WAS JEALOUS OF EVERYONE HAPPILY GETTING TRADING CARDS IN THEIR POTATO CHIPS IN 2019. NO CHIPS IN MY HOUSE AND THEY DIDN'T SELL UTZ WHERE I LIVED ANYWAY. I NOW HAVE A JUNK FOOD CARD WITH A NANCY KNOCK OFF MASCOT ON IT AND MY LIFE IS COMPLETE. BRAD IS STILL KICKING AROUND WITH THE DREADFUL AWFUL ROYALS. GOOD FOR YOU BRAD

2022 GOLD LABEL JAKE MEYERS RC

CATEGORY - HIGH END

THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD SEEN THIS GOLD LABEL DESIGN AND I THOUGHT IT LOOKED NEAT. IT LOOKS LESS NEAT IN PERSON - GOLD LABEL SHOULD BE WAY MORE PLASTICKY AND SHINIER - BUT I DO LIKE THE WAX SEAL LOGO

1989 SCORE ROOKIES TO REMEMBER JOE DIMAGGIO

CATEGORY - ODDBALL

SCORE SPORTFLICS TRIVIA INSERTS ARE ANOTHER THING I'VE SLEPT ON. THIS IS ONE I'D NEVER SEEN BEFORE 

THESE WERE INSERTED INTO THE HOTTEST 100 ROOKIES AND STARS BOX SETS WHICH IS WHY I'D NEVER SEEN THEM BEFORE. THE CHOICE FOR EBAY SELLER'S SHOES IN THE LISTING AS A DESIGN CHOICE GAVE ME A CHUCKLE

THERE WERE FIVE FOR SALE SO I PICKED JOLTIN JOE BECAUSE WHY WOULDN'T I 

1999 UD CENTURY LEGENDS VINNY CASTILLA

CATEGORY - WANTLIST, BRAVES

THE FIRST AND MAYBE BEST OF UPPER DECK'S LEGENDS SETS. IT'S GOT A NICE MIX OF HALL OF FAMERS AND STARS WITH AN INTERESTING FOIL-HEAVY DESIGN THAT WORKS DESPITE THE EXCESS. THIS ONE CAUGHT MY EYE BECAUSE THERE WAS A NOTE THAT THERE WAS A FOIL LOGO ON BACK AND THAT INTRIGUED ME

IT'S HARD TO SEE PROPERLY IN THE PICTURE BUT THERE IS INDEED A LITTLE FOILY CIRCLE AROUND THE ROCKIES LOGO. WHY IS IT THERE? NO IDEA

2021-22 DONRUSS TRAE YOUNG COMPLETE PLAYERS

CATEGORY - HOLY SHIT TRAE GIMMIE GIMME NOW

FREE TRAE YOUNG CARD! HEEEELLLLLLLL YEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

THIS THING IS LIKE THREE FOUR BUCKS AT THE LCS. WHEN I SAW THIS POSTED I WAS ALL MUST BUY THIS NOW. SOMEHOW I MANAGED TO WIN IT, I'VE HAD LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH HAVING CARDS SWIPED OUT OF MY CART. THIS WOULD DEFINITELY BE CONSIDERED THE HIT OF THE BLASTER BUT THIS BOX CONSISTS OF FOUR ORDERS OF FORTY CARDS AND EACH ONE HAS THEIR OWN HIT CARD

1999 PACIFIC TEAM CHECKLISTS RAUL MONDESI

CATEGORY - INSERT

90S INSERTS ALWAYS ATTRACT MY ATTENTION, 90S PACIFIC INSERTS IMMEDIATLY HIT MY CART. WITHOUT AN EXCEPTION THEY ARE ALL SO SHINY AND WEIRD AND DELIGHTFUL. THIS ONE FITS THE BILL WITH COMPUTER SWOOSHES GOING EVERY WHICH WAY AND LIBERAL APPLICATION OF HOLOFOIL

UP NEXT - BRAVES AND INSERTS AND ODDBALLS

QUARTER BOX CRAP - BUCK #3

 SQUANDERING HARD EARNED MONEY ON FRIVOLOTIES. WHEN THE WORLD ENDS AND I'M STARVING AND DYING AND FILLED WITH REGRETS I'LL WANT THOSE THREE DOLLARS BACK TO SPEND ON BLOOD. BUT RIGHT NOW I HAVE SOME COOL CARDS TO SHUFFLE THROUGH FOR A LITTLE BIT BEFORE SHOVING THEM INTO A BOX

2022 QYPSY GUEEN ALEX KIRILLOFF GQ GEMS

I HAVE BEEN VERY CRITICAL OF GQ SINCE THEIR SECOND SET DITCHED THE TOBACCO CARD DESIGN AND BRANDED THEMSELVES AS THE UGLIEST CARD™ BUT I GOTTA ADMIT I LOVE THEIR GOOFY INSERT SETS. THIS ONE IS AN ODDBALL SIZE, HAS SHINY HOLOFOIL, ZODIAC SYMBOLS AND A MAGICAL CRYSTAL. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TRACK ONE DOWN ONLINE SINCE LAST YEAR AND THEY KEEP SLIPPING THROUGH MY FINGERS BUT THIS ONE OF A GUY ON THE TWINS I'VE NEVER HEARD OF FINALLY CAME HOME TO ME

2021 MOSAIC JIM THOME RED & BLUE PRIZM SQUARES PATTERN THINGY

I'M PRETTY SURE WHATEVER FLAVOR OF PRIZM PARALLEL THIS IS CAN BE FOUND AS A BONUS IN RETAIL RACK PACKS WHICH EXPLAINS WHY THEY'RE PRETTY EASY TO FIND IN JUNK BOXES. THERE WERE SEVERAL IN THIS PARTICULAR JUNK BOX AND THIS AIN'T THE LAST ONE YOU'LL SEE. HALL OF FAMERS ON WACKY SHINY CARDS AREN'T SOMETHING I WILL PASS ON BY WHEN DIGGING THROUGH BOXES. I DO ADMIT I WAS VERY CONFUSED WHEN I SAW CLEVELAND ON THIS CARD AS I INITIALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS THE TWINS OR MAYBE WHITE SOX AFTER THE PANINIFICATION OF HIS UNIFORM

2021 DIAMOND KINGS MICKEY COCHRANE AFICIONADO

NOT THE AFICIONADO I ACTUALLY COLLECT, BUT A NICE FIND NONETHELESS. I LOVE THE PAINTING MOTIF ON THE NEW DIAMOND KINGS CARDS AND THIS ONE OF A GUY WHO PLAYED BEFORE LOGOS WERE PLASTERED EVERYWHERE LOOKS REALLY DAMN GOOD. MICKEY IS AN ALL TIME GREAT CATCHER AS WELL EVEN THOUGH HE'S BEEN OVERSHADOWED BY MORE RECENT PLAYERS. A GOOD EXAMPLE OF A CARD I WOULD NEVER EVER THINK TO GO OUT AND FIND BUT AM SUPER HAPPY ONE FELL INTO MY LAP

2022 TOPPS JOSE ALTUVE 1987 35TH ANNIVERSARY ALL-STAR

MORE ALTUVE, AND MORE 1987 TOPPS. THE NON-SHINY FLAGSHIP VERSION OF THE 87 REHASH CARDS LOOK WAY WORSE THAN THE REFRACTORS BUT SINCE THIS ONE IS AN ALL-STAR DESIGN I'LL OVERLOOK IT. THIS IS ANOTHER CARD I'M CONFUSED ABOUT AS I'M NOT CERTAIN IF THE ALL-STARS ARE ITS OWN INSERT SET OR PART OF THE 35TH ANNIVERSARY SET. THE BASE SET IS ALREADY MASSIVE, TO TACK ON ALL-STARS IS JUST GETTING SILLY. IS ALTUVE THO AND I WILL NOT LEAVE JOSE TO LANGUISH IN A JUNK BOX

ONLINE DIME BOX BLASTER - PART 1

 GOT A BOX FULL OF BASEBALLCARDSTORE DOT CA CARDS IN THE MAIL AND IT'S TIME TO INFLICT THEM UPON YOUR EYES ALONG WITH SOME CAPSLOCK. ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE CARDS IN TOTAL. I WAS WONDERING HOW TO SHOW THEM ALL OFF THEN REALIZED THAT SIMPLY POSTING THEM IN ORDER OUT OF THE BOX GIVES A VERY CLEAR VIEW OF THE UTTER CHAOS THAT HAPPENS WHEN I START DIGGING RANDOM GEMS OUT OF A PILE OF CARDS. THERE WILL BE SIXTEEN POSTS OF TEN CARDS EACH EXCEPT FOR ONE SPECIAL POST OF ELEVEN. I'VE NOTICED MY ALL MY PICKUPS FIT ONE OF OF THE FOLLOWING NINE CATEGORIES:

BRAVES - GOTTA HAVE MY BARVES

MY OTHER TEAMS - LOTS OF HAWKS, SOME FROM FOOTBALL TEAMS, PERHAPS EVEN SOME HOCKEY IF I'M FEELING NOSTALGIC

INSERTS - I'M MILDLY OBSESSED WITH PICKING UP AS MANY INSERT CARDS AS POSSIBLE AT THE MOMENT

ODDBALLS - LOVE LOVE LOVE ME SOME ODDBALLS, THE ODDER THE BETTER

SUPERSTARS - THERE AIN'T NO TROUTS OR SHOHEIS OR JORDANS OR LEBRONS OR (BLECCH) BRADYS IN THE CHEAPO CARD PILE BUT THAT LEVEL RIGHT UNDER THEM? OH YEAH, IT'S FUN TO PICK UP THOISE GUYS

HIGH-END SETS - IF I CATCH SIGHT OF A CARD THAT HAD A HIGH PRICE TAG ON ITS PACK BACK IN THE DAY AMONGST ALL THE FLAGSHIP BASECARDS I TRY TO SNAG IT

PLAYER COLLECTIONS - HEYWARDS, HORFORDS, TUGGLES, LEMKES, ETC. STUFF I'M THINKING ABOUT ENTERING INTO TCDB BUT I'M TOO LAZY

WANTLIST STUFF - I HAVE GRAVELY NEGLECTED MY WANTLISTS DUE TO BEING BLINDED BY THE SHINIES BUT I HAVE MANAGED TO COMPLETE SOME SETS

NON-SPORT - THE FUN DESSERT OF THE CARD COLLECTING MEAL. JUST THE WEIRDEST NONSENSE I CAN FIND

160 CARDS IS A LOTTA CARDS SO LET'S GET STARTED HERE

APEX SOCCER COUPON

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT BUYING FROM THIS SELLER IS SEEING WHAT COOL FILLER CARDS ARE USED IN PACKING THE BOX. WE GOT SOME GREAT ONES THIS TIME INCLUDING A SOCCER COUPON FROM 2015. ANYONE WHO HAS A PILE OF THESE THINGS LYING AROUND IS A TRUE COLLECTOR SICKO LIKE ME AND I RESPECT IT. THIS KIND OF EPHEMERA IS GOING TO BE THE RAREST STUFF TO COLLECT FIFTY YEARS FROM NOW, ASSUMING ANYONE WILL BE LEFT ALIVE TO COLLECT IT

1992 ACTION PACKED BOB HORNER

CATEGORY - BRAVES, PLAYER COLLECTION

FIRST CARD OUT OF THE BOX IS THE FIRST CARD WHERE I ACCIDENTALLY BOUGHT A SECOND COPY. YOU'LL SEE MORE OF THIS SOON. IT'S A COOL CARD AND I FORGOT! I ALREADY HAVE THIS ONE ANYWAY SO WHO CARES. ACTION PACKED WAS SO GOOL IN THE EARLY 90S AND I LOVED THIS SET BUT I COULD ONLY FIND PACKS AT K-MART FOR LIKE $2.69 A PACK AND THA'T TOO MUCH FOR A PACK IN 1992

1992 UPPER DECK FRED MCGRIFF HOMETOWN HEROES

CATEGORY - BRAVES, INSERT, WANTLIST, PLAYER COLLECTION

I HAVE EXPRESSED MY GREAT DESIRE TO COMPLETE THE UPPER DECK INSERT SETS FROM 1990-1993 PREVIOUSLY. HERE'S ANOTHER ONE FOR THE COLLECTION ALTHOUGH I AM NOT 100% SURE IF THIS IS FOR THE UPPER DECK INSERT BINDER, THE BRAVES BOX OF IF I JUST WANTED A COOL CARD OF HALL OF FAMER FRED MCGRIFF. DAMN THAT SOUNDS GOOD. HALL OF FAMER FRED MCGRIFF

2022 TOPPS FORMULA ONE SEBASTIAN VETTEL

CATEGORY - INSERT

I ONE THOUSAND PERCENT PICKED THIS UP JUST BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT HAD A COOL DESIGN. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS DRIVER OR F1 IN GENERAL OR EVEN WHAT THE INSERT IS CALLED. WHEN I WAS PUTTING TOGETHER MY COLLECTING CATEGORIES I BRIEFLY CONSIDERED THE CATEGORY OF 'BULLSHIT' UNTIL I REALIZED THAT 96% OF ALL THE NON SPORTS CARDS I GOT FIT INSIDE IT. THANKFULLY THIS IS AN INSERT SO NON-SPORTS COULD BREAK OFF ON THEIR OWN

1988 TOPPS STANLEY MORGAN 1000 YARD CLUB INSERT

CATEGORY - WANTLIST, INSERT

ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT TO DO BEFORE I DIE IS FINISH UP ALL THOSE 1980S TOPPS FOOTBALL SETS I HAVE 90% COMPLETE. THIS INCLUDES THE ONE-PER PACK 1000 YARD CLUB CARD SETS WHICH ARE WAY HARDER TO COMPLETE THAN YOU'D THINK THEY WOULD BE. IT COUNTS AS AN INSERT TOO, WHICH IS EXTRA ADDED INCENTIVE TO PICK IT UP OVER A BORING BASE CARD

2021 HERITAGE NEW AGE PERFORMER MAX FRIED

CATEGORY - BRAVES, INSERT

IT IS SUPER HARD TO PICK UP COOL STUFF FROM THE RECENTLY ADDED LISTING ON THE SITE AND I WAS STOKED TO SNAG THIS INSERT OF MAX BEFORE SOMEONE STOLE IT AWAY FROM ME. I'VE HONESTLY GOTTEN A LITTLE OBSESSED WITH GRABBING THE GOOD STUFF THE MOMENT IT'S POSTED LATELY. I ALMOST NEVER ACTUALLY DO IT, BUT I HAVE A FEW WINS

2000-01 TOPPS JASON KIDD

CATEGORY - WANTLIST, SUPERSTAR

I BOUGHT NONE OF THIS SET WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT AND IT'S ONE OF MY COLLECTING REGRETS. I THINK I WAS SPENDING ALL MY MONEY ON HERITAGE AND ARCHIVES AT THE TIME. PLUS THE HAWKS WERE JUST DREADFUL. I REALLY LIKE THE UNIQUE PURPLE BORDERS ON THESE AND KIDD IS A NICE PLAYER TO HAVE

1994 DONRUSS SPECIAL EDITION JEFF BAGWELL

CATEGORY - WANTLIST, SUPERSTAR

OF ALL THE 90S PARALLEL SETS, THE ONLY ONE I HAVE A PRAYER OF EVER COMPLETING IS THIS SPECIAL EDITION SET FROM 1994. IT'S ONLY A HUNDRED CARD SET AND THEY ARE SURPRISINGLY EASY TO FIND. BAGWELL IS A BIG PICKUP, THIS ONE WOULD BE ONE OF THE MORE EXPENSIVE ONES TO PICK UP AT FULL PRICE. THE ONE DIFFICULT THING ABOUT THIS SET IS THE CARD NUMBERS AS DONRUSS INEXPLICABLY USED THE SAME HOLOFOIL STAMPING ON THEM AS THEY DID WITH THE TEAM ANA NAME ON THE FRONT. I NEED TO COMPLETE THIS BEFORE MY EYESIGHT GETS ANY WORSE

1994-95 FLAIR HAKEEM OLAJUWON

CATEGORY - SUPERSTAR

I LOVE CENTERS AND AS THE GAME IS RAPIDLY CHANGING, THIS STYLE OF GIGANTIC CENTER IS AN ENDANGERED SPECIES. THE 90S WERE THE GLORY YEARS OF THE HUMUNGOUS CENTER AND HAKEEM WAS THE BEST. IF YOU DOUBT MY WORDS, THINK ABOUT THIS: WHAT OTHER PLAYER COULD HAVE BEEN PICKED AHEAD OF MICHAEL JORDAN IN THE DRAFT AND STILL HAVE PEOPLE THINKING "YEAH THAT WAS A REALLY GOOD PICK FOR HOUSTON". THIS COULD PROBABLY ALSO FALL UNDER THE CATEGORY HIGH-END BUT FLAIR WAS SUPER OVERPRINTED SO I DON'T LOOK AT IT THAT WAY

2017-18 TIM HORTON'S JOHNNY GAUDREAU GAME DAY ACTION

CATEGORY - INSERT

MY TOTAL DISINTEREST IN ALL THINGS HOCKEY SORT OF EVAPORATED WHEN I WAS FACED WITH A LARGE AMOUNT OF COOL LOOKING HOCKEY INSERTS. IT EVEN REKINDLED A COUPLE OF OLD PLAYER COLLECTIONS. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS DUDE BUT THE CARD LOOKED COOL. I'VE BEEN VERY JEALOUS OF ALL THE CANADIANS SHOWING OFF THEIR COFFEE CARDS ON TWITTER OVER THE YEARS SO IT'S NICE TO GET ONE OF MY OWN

NEXT BATCH - IMMORTALS, ODDBALLS AND MAYBE A DEMON

QUARTER BOX CRAP - BUCK #2

 WASTING MOAR MONEY ON COOL FUN SHIT OUT OF THE QUARTER BOX. HERE'S ANOTHER DOLLAR DOWN THE DRAIN. FLUSHED RIGHT DOWN THE TOILET. I COULD HAVE BOUGHT FOOD WITH THAT DOLLAR BUT I DIDN'T

2022 ARCHIVES YOGI BERRA

I REALLY FEEL LIKE I ALREADY HAVE THIS CARD EVEN THOUGH IT'S IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE I HAVE NO ARCHIVES FROM LAST YEAR THAT I KNOW ABOUT. WELL, EXCEPT FOR THAT ONE. I KNOW THIS FUCKIN PHOTO IS ON OTHER CARDS THOUGH AND MAYBE EVEN ON THIS DESIGN. CHEAP YOGI IS AN INSTA-BUY FOR ME, DOUBLES OR NO

2021 CHRONICLES OBSIDIAN CLAYTON KERSHAW

IF YOU READ MY CHRONICLES POSTS YOU KNOW I FRIGGIN LOVE THIS OBSIDIAN SET TO THE POINT WHERE I STUPIDLY WANT TO BUILD THE WHOLE THING. FINDING A KERSHAW ISN'T DOING ANYTHING TO DISSUADE ME FROM THE NOTION. JUST LOOK AT IT, GREAT GOOGELY MOOGELY IT'S LIKE RAINBOWS DANCING IN MY BRAIN

2021 TOPPS FIRE JOSE ALTUVE

I'VE NEVER LIKED FIRE, THEN I SEE A RANDOM CARD HERE AND THERE AND DAMN, THEY'RE KINDA NICE FOR HOW UGLY THEY ARE. THIS ONE IS ON HOLOFOIL AND IT REALLY MAKES THE BLUE AND RED AND ORANGE POP. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS IS JUST THE BASE CARD OR IF IT'S A PARALLEL OF SOME SORT BUT I DON'T REALLY CARE, IT'S A PRETTY JOSE ALTUVE CARD AND YOU ALREADY KNOW I CAN'T PASS THOSE UP

2022 CHROME LUIS ROBERT 1987 35TH ANNIVERSARY

ANOTHER CARD WHERE I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S AN ACTUAL REFRACTOR PARALLEL OR IF THEY ALL JUST LOOK LIKE THAT. WHO CARES, MOAR SHINIES PLZ. LUIS ROBERT IS HITTING THE ABSOLUTE SHIT OUT OF THE BALL BUT NO ONE CARES BECAUSE THE WHITE SOX SUCK AND THE WHALES GOT PROSPECT FATIGUE ON HIM TWO YEARS AGO. I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE ANY OTHER ROBERT CARDS SO A SHINY FOR A QUARTER IS FANTASTIC

HOLY CRAP I NEVER POSTED THE ONLINE DIME BOX CARDS

 A FEW MONTHS AGO I DISCOVERED THE ONLINE DIME BOX THAT BASICALLY KEPT ME SANE DURING THE PANDEMIC HAD NOT SHUT DOWN AND HAD MERELY TRANSFORMED TO AN ONLINE FREE BOX. CARDS ARE FREE, SHIPPNG AND HANDLING IS NOT. THIS WORKS OUT TO GETTING 40 CARDS OF YOUR CHOICE FOR THE PRICE OF A PACK FROM TARGET WHICH IS FUCKING OUTSTANDING. SELLER DOESN'T GET KILLED BY SHIPPING AND I GET CHEAP CARDS, EVERYONE WINS. I BOUGHT 40 CARDS, BUNGLED THE SHIPPING AND WAS ABLE TO WORK IT OUT TO GET A NICE LITTLE PILE OF JUNK. I THEN BOUGHT BASICALLY A BLASTER'S WORTH OF MORE CARDS WHICH IS ABOUT TO SHIP AND TURN INTO A TON OF POSTS IN MY DRAFT FOLDER. CONSIDER THIS POST AN APPETIZER FOR THE BANQUET ON DIME CARDS ABOUT TO DROP OR PERHAPS A WARNING. I ALREADY POSTED ALL 40 ON TWITTER SO I'M NOT REHASHING ALL THAT BECAUSE I AM LAZY BUT HERE'S SOME HIGHLIGHTS

1993 FINEST TOM CANDIOTTI

FINEST CARDS ARE GREAT. I WISH THEY'D TAKE ALL THAT CHROME NONSENSE THEY CRAP OUT EVERY YEAR AND JUST USE THE CARD STOCK FOR FINEST INSTEAD. THE FIRST SET OF FINEST IS TRICKY TO FIND AND I'M THANKFUL EVERY TIME I STUMBLE ACROSS SOME. I NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW I'M COLLECTING FINEST. I GOT A BOX WITH A BUNCH IN IT BUT I'M PROBABLY NEVER COMPLETING A SET AND HAVE HARDLY ANY FROM THE PAST 15 YEARS. I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT MAKING A BINDER WITH A PAGE OF THE BEST CARDS I HAVE FROM EACH SET BUT HAVEN'T ACTUALLY DONE IT YET. TOM WILL PROBABLY BE ON THAT FIRST PAGE IF I ACTUALLY  GET AROUND TO DOING IT

2020 SPORTKINGS WINX MINI 

Y'ALL KNOW I LOVE THE PONIES. SPORTKINGS IS AN ODD SET. IT STARTED OUT AS A HIGH END ARTSY RETRO SET THAT WAS QUITE SPENDY WITH A LOT OF FANCY BELLS AND WHISTLES LIKE CARDS IN SEALED TOPLOADERS AND A BUNCH OF AUTO/RELICS AND IS NOW REBOOTED INTO SOMETHING YOU CAN FIND IN DISCOUNT BLASTERS AT WAL-MART. NEW SETS SHAMELESSLY RIPPING OFF ANCIENT DESIGNS ARE MY KRYPTONITE THOUGH. ADD THE HORSEY AND THE MINI TO THE EQUATION AND THIS WAS AN AESY PICKUP FOR ME

1993 UPPER DECK FUN PACK ROGER CLEMENS GLOW STARS

I AM TRYING TO COLLECT THE 1993 FUN PACK SET AND EVEN THOUGH I WAS ABLE TO RIP A WHOLE BOX OF IT BACK WHEN WAX WAS CHEAP THESE GLOW STARS ARE A BIG PROBLEM. THERE'S ONE PER TEAM AND AT LEAST IN MY BOX THEY WERE NOT AS COMMON AS BASE CARDS SO I STILL NEED A BUNCH. AND YES, THEY ARE BASE CARDS EVEN THOUGH THEY 100% LOOK LIKE INSERTS. YOU CAN SEE THE CARD NUMBER ON THE TOP LEFT CORNER HERE. AT LEAST THEY WEREN'T REDEMPTIONS LIKE THE HOT SHOTS MOOD RING CARD SUBSET, BUT THEY'RE STILL HARD TO FIND IN NO SMALL PART BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO AREN'T INTERESTED IN THE SET ABSOLUTELY ARE INSTERESTED IN A GLOW IN THE DARK CARD

2022 PANINI SELECT DRAFT PICKS NICK CHUBB

GOOOOO DAWGS, SIC EM, WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF. I DON'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO THE NFL ANYMORE BUT I STILL LOVE MY DAWGS AND I ENJOY FINDING COOL CARDS OF PLAYERS IN THEIR COLLEGE UNIFORM. PANINI'S MULTIPLE DRAFT PICK SETS HAVE BEEN A REAL BOON FOR COLLEGE UNI CARDS. USED TO BE YOU'D ONLY SEE THEM IN PRESEASON DRAFT PICK SETS OR MAYBE THE OCCASIONAL LEGENDS SET BUT NOW THERE ARE CURRENT STARS IN THEIR COLLEGE UNI EVERY YEAR. I'M HAVING TO RE-TRAIN MY BRAIN TO UNDERSTAND THAT A CARD IN A COLLEGE UNI IS NOT NECESSARILY FROM THAT PLAYER'S ROOKIE SEASON ANYMORE

2022 CHRONICLES AUSTIN RILEY

ONE OF THE VERY FEW 2022 CHRONICLES BRAVES CARDS THAT IS NOT RONALD ACUÑA JR. OR KYLE MULLER. I'VE BEEN SNAGGING EVERY RECENT BRAVES CARD I CAN FIND ON THIS SITE BECAUSE MOST OF THEM ARE AT LEAST FIFTY CENTS A POP AROUND HERE SINCE THE WORLD SERIES TITLE. AUSTIN'S GONE NUTSO THE PAST WEEK TOO AND ISBOPPIN HOMERS RIGHT AND LEFT. I HOPE HE CAN KEEP DOING THAT DEEP INTO OCTOBER

2000 TOPPS TEK J.D. DREW

J.D. DREW IS A TOUGH PLAYER FOR ME BECAUSE HE LEGIT HAD A MONSTER SEASON THE ONE YEAR HE WAS WITH THE BRAVES BUT IT COST ADAM WAINRIGHT TO GET IT. I ALREADY HAVE A BOATLOAD OF DREW CARDINALS CARDS THAT I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH. I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO WITH TOPPS TEK CARDS. BUY THEM IMMEDIATELY

2022 HERITAGE BRYCE ELDER

WHEN I BOUGHT THIS I WAS JUST HAPPY TO PICK UP A ROOKIE CARD FOR MY HERITAGE TEAM SET AND HAD NO CLUE THE DUDE WOULD END UP IN BEING AN ALL-STAR. ROOKIE CARDS DON'T EVEN GET PRICED AT THE LCS, THEY'RE ALL MARKET PRICE LIKE THE CATCH OF THE DAY AT RED LOBSTER. NOT A BAD PICKUP FOR EFFECTIVELY FIFTEEN CENTS

1992 ECLIPSE FAMOUS COMIC BOOK CREATORS EDDIE CAMPBELL

I THINK I'VE MENTIONED BEFORE THAT WHEN I DIG THROUGH A CARD BOX IN PERSON OR ONLINE I NEED TO FIND THAT ONE CARD THAT COMPELS ME THE DECIDE "OH YEAH, I'M SPENDING MONEY TODAY". THIS WAS THE CARD THAT BROKE THE SEAL ON THIS BATCH OF CARDS. EDDIE CAMPBELL IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE COMIC ARTISTS AND I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS CARD EVER SINCE I FOUND OUT IT EXISTED. EDDIE IS BEST KNOW FOR FROM HELL BUT MY FAVORITE IS HIS SERIES BACCHUS. HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED IF YOU ENJOY FRESH TAKES ON ANCIENT MYTHOLOGY. I ALSO RECCOMMEND THIS CARD SET IF YOU LIKE COMICS, THERE'S A TON OF LEGENDARY ARTISTS IN IT

2021 TOPPS JASON HEYWARD GOLD FACTORY SET PARALLEL

THIS WAS A SURPRISE, IN 2021 TOPPS TRIED A GIMMICK WITH 1:20 WAL-MART FACTORY SET BOXES BEING GOLD STAR PARALLELS. ADDED VALUE DONCHAKNOW. I AM NOT IMPRESSED BY THE TWO OR THREE NEW PARALLELS INTRODUCED EACH YEAR (HELLO, TACOFRACTORS) BUT WHEN I STUMBLE ON ONE FOR A PLAYER I LOVE I GET HAPPY. IS IT JUST ME OR IS THE GOLD INK AT TOPPS LOOKING SOMEWHAT BRONZEY LATELY THOUGH

1992 RIVER GROUP THE ELVIS COLLECTION FOX THEATRE

I'M NOT A HUGE ELVIS GUY, BUT I LIKE CLASSIC ROCK 'N ROLL WELL ENOUGH. HIS MOVIES ARE OK TOO. BUT I SAW THIS CARD OF THE FOX THEATER AND ABOUT LOST IT. I LOVE THIS PLACE, I'VE SEEN CONCERTS, PLAYS AND MOVIES THERE MANY TIMES. IT'S SO COOL FINDING PERFECT CARDS YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW EXISTED

1993 TED WILLIAMS THE SAY HEY KID

PRETTY SURE I HAVE THIS CARD ALREADY BUT IT IS AN ACTUAL SIN TO LEAVE A WILLIE MAYS CARD IN A DIME BOX. IT WAS NECESSARY TO BRING THIS HOME TO PROTECT MY SOUL. I ALSO REALLY NEED TO GET A WANTLIST TOGETHER FOR THE TED WILLIAMS SETS. OR JUST BUY THE DAMN SET ALREADY, THEY CAN'T BE THAT EXPENSIVE

1978 FLEER GLOSSY STICKERS DETROIT TIGERS

I DO HAVE A WANTLIST FOR FLEER STICKERS THOUGH. JUST THE PACK INSERTED ONES, AS I DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT FROM BEFORE THEN. THOSE CARDS I JUST BUY WHEN I FIND THEM CHEAP. PRETTY SURE THIS IS MY FIRST STICKER FROM 1978. I LOVE THAT 70'S LETTERING

1998-99 UD CHOICE HOCKEY EDDIE BELFOUR MINI BOBBING HEAD

UD CHOICE WAS THIS ODD TRANSACTIONAL PRODUCT IN 1998-99 WHEN UPPER DECK WAS PHASING OUT COLLECTOR'S CHOICE IN FAVOR OF MVP. THESE LITTLE PUNCH-OUT BOBBLE HEAD DOLLS ARE BY FAR THE BEST THING THAT CAME OUT OF THAT SHORT-LIVED PRODUCT. PUNCH EVERYTHING OUT, FOLD OUT A TAB IN THE BACK AND THEN BALANCE THE NOGGIN ON TOP AND YOU CAN HAVE YOUR OWN TEENSY LITTLE BOBBLEHEAD FOR YOUR DESK. I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND GETTING ONE OF THESE CARDS FOR YOUR OWN COLLECTION AS THEY ARE PRETTY EASY TO FIND AND SINCE THESE WERE MADE FOR ALL FOUR MAJOR SPORTS THERE'S ALMOST CERTAINLY AT LEAST ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE PLAYERS IN THERE SOMEWHERE. NOW THAT I HAVE THE EDDIE BOBBLEHEAD I NEED TO TRACK DOWN CHRIS CHELIOS

2016 TOPPS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SHOWCASE MESUT ÖZIL

I'M PRETTY SURE THE JOKE WHEN I POSTED THIS ON TWITTER WAS 'THIS IS SO OLD, ARSENAL WERE IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE'. WELL HA HA SMARTY TWO MONTHS AGO ME, ARSENAL IS BACK IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE! ÖZIL IS RETIRED NOW THOUGH. AT LEAST THERE ARE STILL PLENTY OF HIS CARDS FOR ME TO FIND OUT THERE

1991 STARLINE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME W.C.FIELDS

I KNOW I KEEP SAYING I JUST NEED TO BREAK DOWN AND BUY THE SET BUT THIS TIME I REALLY REALLY DO NEED TO JUST FIND THE SET SOMEWHERE. I LOVE THIS DUMB SET, IT'S ABSOLUTELY LOADED WITH ALL THE OLD HOLLYWOOD BULLSHIT I ADORE. I CAN'T FIND IT EASILY THOUGH, EVERYTHING IS EITHER EBAY WHICH I DON'T USE OR DICEY ONLINE SHOPS THATS I'M AFRAID TO CLICK ON. AND I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN THESE AT A LOCAL SHOP. WHILE I REALLY WANT THE BELA LUGOSI CARD I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THIS W.C. FIELDS. I HAVE BEEN ON A CLASSIC COMEDY KICK ALL YEAR AND IN MY VIEWINGS OF THE THREE STOOGES, MARX BROTHERS, LAUREL & HARDY, BUSTER KEATON, ET. AL. I HAVE TO SAY W.C.'S STUFF HAS REALLY HELD UP THE BEST. GO CHECK OUT THE DENTIST, IT'S THE LENGTH OF A SITCOM AND HAS SOME OF THE FUNNIEST SHIT I'VE EVER SEEN IN THERE. THE SCENE WHERE HE'S PULLING THE LADY'S TOOTH IS RAUNCHY AS HELL AND HAD ME WHEEZING

I'VE ALREADY FOUND A NEW CARD I HAVE TO GET ON THAT CONFOUNDED WEBSITE AND MY SHIPMENT IS SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE ON TUESDAY. I WARNED YA, BETTER GET PREPARED FOR AN INFLUX ON CHEEPNISS ON HERE
