MOAR STUFF!!! THIS IS THE ONLY BATCH OF THE BUNCH THAT IS ONE HUNDRED PERCENT BASEBALL. ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN, THINGS GET WEIRD SOON
2021 TOPPS '52 CHROME WHATEVER THIS WAS CALLED EDDIE ROSARIO
CATEGORY - BRAVES
THIS ISN'T A BRAVES CARD! YOU YELL
THIS CARD IS FROM 2021 AND EDDIE ROSARIO WAS A BRAVE IN 2021. JUST ASK ANY DODGERS FAN. EDDIE WAS THE ONE GUY WE KEPT FROM ALEX ANTHOPOULOS' EPIC 2021 TRADE DEADLINE. ONCE THE WHOLE 'GOING BLIND' THING WAS TAKEN CARE OF, EDDIE HAS PLAYED PRETTY OK FOR THE BRAVES. WHEN THE REST OF THE LINEUP IS ACTUAL BASEBALL-MASSACRING MONSTERS, PRETTY OK IS GOOD ENOUGH
2012 TOPPS MIGUEL CABRERA
CATEGORY - WANTLIST, SUPERSTAR
THIRTY CARDS IN AND I FINALLY PICKED UP A CARD FOR A TOPPS BASE SET. IT'S WAY EASIER TO PICK UP SET NEEDS WHEN THEY ARE SLAM DUNK FIRST BALLOT HALL OF FAMERS. I DID MANAGE TO WORK ON SOME SETS WHEN NOT DAZZLED BY SHINIES THOUGH
2022 BOWMAN CHROME LUISANGEL ACUÑA
CATEGORY - UHHH, BRAVES?
THIS IS THE FIRST CARD THAT DOESN'T FIT ANY OF THE COLLECTING GOALS I'M FOCUSING ON. BUT I WANT A CARD OF RONALD'S LITTLE BROTHER SO I GOT IT. I'LL BE DOING THE SAME THING WITH DRUW JONES. UPDATE: OH GOD HE'S A MET NOW
2022 TOPPS TRADED JOSE MORBAN GOLD PARALLEL #1409/2002
CATEGORY - WANTLIST, INSERT
I HAVE A LONG TERM PROJECT TO BUILD A FRANKENSET USING TOPPS GOLD PARALLELS THAT IS FLOUNDERING. THESE USED TO BE COMMON AND BEAUTIFUL AND NOW THEY ARE SCARCE AND UGLY. I STILL ENJOY PICKING UP OLDER ONES WHEN I CAN FIND THEM
THAT OLD STYLE GOLD SERIAL NUMBER STAMPING MAKES ME HAPPY. THIS IS THE FIRST CARD I ATTEMPTED TO PUT AWAY IN ITS PROPER PLACE AND... IT DIDN'T MAKE THE CUT. A RANDALL DELGADO GOLD CARD BLOCKED IT FROM THE BINDER. I SHOULD MAYBE ACTUALLY MAKE A WANTLIST
2012 TOPPS BARRY LARKIN/ASDRUBAL CABRERA TIMELESS TALENTS
CATEGORY - INSERT
THERE'S A DECENT CHANCE I ALREADY HAVE THIS BUT IT'S A BARRY LARKIN INSERT. BARRY LARKIN CARDS ARE COOL. TOPPS DID A LOT OF DUAL PLAYER INSERTS IN THE EARLY 10S AND A LOT OF THE COMBOS ARE PRETTY WILD
2023 TOPPS OZZIE ALBIES
CATEGORY - ACUÑA LITE
I COULD PUT THIS IN THE BASE SET, OR ADD IT TO THE TEAM SET, BUT I THINK I WANNA JUST KEEP IT TO HAS IT. THIS IS A FANTASTIC LOOKING CARD, I WANT SOME SHINY PARALLELS OF THIS
2023 TOPPS NL HOME RUNS LEADERS
CATEGORY - BRAVES
IF OZZIE IS ACUÑA LITE, THEN RILEY IS NEW CHIPPER. THIS CARD HAS SOME REAL BIG TATER MASHERS ON IT. MONTHS AFTER THE SET WAS RELEASED AND I STILL HAVE THE URGE TO TAKE SOME SCISSORS TO THIS CARD AND MAKE SOME MINIS
2021 DONRUSS SAMMY SOSA SLUGGING PERCENTAGE VARIATION
CATEGORY - INSERT, SUPERSTAR
I HAVE A WEAKNESS FOR DONRUSS LEGENDS CARDS AND A WEAKNESS FOR STRANGE DONRUSS VARATIONS, HOW WAS I TO RESIST? I NORMALLY LIKE THE DONRUSS RETRO DESIGNS BUT THIS ONE ACCENTUATES HOW MUCH THE 87 SET NEEDS THAT BLACK BORDER. THAT WOULD LIMIT THE MYRIAD NUMBER OF PARALLELS THOUGH, SO BYE BYE BLACK. I WONDER IF THAT'S WHY DONRUSS STRAIGHT UP SKIPPED THE 1989 DESIGN THIS YEAR?
2022 QYPSY GUEEN JORGE SOLER
CATEGORY - BRAVES
NO BRAVES CARD FOR JORGE IN GINTER BUT GQ HOOKS ME UP. I REALLY LIKE THE STEAMPUNK TICKET DISPENSER DESIGN OF THIS SET. TCDB SAYS THERE ARE 335 DIFFERENT JORGE SOLER CARDS IN A BRAVES UNIFORM. THAT'S TOO MANY. IF I FILTER OUT EVERYTHING EXCEPT MAJOR RELEASES, IT'S DOWN TO 18. THAT... IS VERY DOABLE. I WISH THERE WAS A FILTER TO JUST REMOVE THE AUTOGRAPHS AND PARALLELS TO SEE WHAT THAT NUMBER IS, BUT 18 GOT MY MIND THINKING THINGS
2019 DIAMOND KINGS EDDIE STANKY
CATEGORY - BRAVES
I COMPLETELY FORGOT I BOUGHT THIS ONE AND WHEN I GOT IT I WONDERED WHY I BOUGHT IT UNTIL I SAW THE BOSTON AT THE BOTTOM. STEALTH BRAVES CARD! THEN AGAIN ALL PANINI PRODUCTS HAVE STEALTH BRAVES CARDS. I ASSOCIATE STANKY WITH THE DODGERS SO THE CARD IS EXTRA CONFUSING. DIAMOND KINGS LOOK COOL THOUGH AND THE NO LOGOS LOOK WORKS WELL WITH OLD TIMERS
UP NEXT - HIGH END, STICKERS AND MINIS

Now that he's on my Mets I definitely need to get that Luisangel Acuña from that store! Gonna do it right now.
Diamond Kings has listed Stanky as a Dodger in recent sets, pretty sure with that exact same picture. If Panini is still doing DK (no idea), it could pretend he is a Cub and then a Giant using the same picture as he played for both teams. Maybe it already has, I don't know, I don't have time to look up Panini cards.
Oh, and good to see Rosario has calmed down now. 🙄
