WHEN DIGGING THROUGH BOXES OF CARDS I DON'T NEED I TRY TO LIMIT MYSELF TO ONLY GETTING FIVE BUCKS WORTH BUT IT NEVER HAPPENS. I COULDN'T EVEN STOP AT SIX THIS TIME. AND - SPOILER ALERT - THIS AIN'T THE LAST QUARTER BOX POST FOR THIS BATCH. BEFORE THESE ALL GO UP ON THE BLOG I MIGHT EVEN GO BACK TO THE SHOP FOR SECONDS. I LEFT QUITE A FEW CARDS BEHIND AND PROBABLY SKIPPED OVER A FEW MORE GOOD ONES IN MY HASTE
2022 DONRUSS WILLIE STARGELL STARS BORDER PARALLEL
THIS IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE PICKUP FROM THE BOX BINGE. POPS ON THE 88 DONRUSS DESIGN WITH STARS ON THE BORDER. FANTASTIC. SOMETHING'S UP WITH THIS PARALLEL BECAUSE ALL THE OTHER 1988 RETRO CARDS HAVE GLOSSY BACKS AND THIS ONE IS MATTE. I REFUSE TO LOOK UP ALL THE PARALLELS FOR THIS SET SO I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE IT'S A SUPER SCARCE SHORT PRINT VARIATION. ALSO: THE PANINIZATION OF WILLIE'S UNIFORM TO TURN ALL THE YELLOW STRIPES SOLID BLACK IS RIDICULOUS AND I LOVE IT. THIS ISN'T THE ONLY STARGELL CARD THEY'VE DONE IT TO EITHER. PANINI TURNING POPS INTO A REFEREE
2022 DONRUSS BROOKS ROBINSON RED BORDER PARALLEL
IT'S KINDA RIDICULOUS I GOT THE JOHNNY BENCH CARD WITH ORANGE BORDERS AND THE BROOKS ROBINSON CARD WITH RED BORDERS. THEY LOOK REALLY GOOD SIDE BY SIDE THOUGH, MAYBE DONRUSS KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING. SPEAKING OF DONRUSS HAVE I POSTED MY 2023 RACK PACK YET? IF NOT, YELL AT ME. I GOT THAT THING JUST AFTER FATHER'S DAY AND AM BEING SLOW ABOUT POSTING. THERE'S SOME GOOD STUFF IN THERE
2022 TOPPS INCEPTION JESSE WINKER
IT MAKES ME SOOOO HAPPY TO FIND A BASE CARD FROM A HIGH-END PRODUCT THAT COSTS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR A SINGLE LOUSY PACK IN A CHEAPSKATE POVERTY BOX. IT'S NOT EVEN A GOOD LOOKING CARD! IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE EXACTO KNIFED JESSE OUT OF HIS QYPSY GUEEN CARD AND PLOPPED HIM ONTO SOME GEOMETRIC SHAPES AN AI GENERATED. IT'S ON SUPER THICK CARD STOCK TOO, THEY WASTED THAT GOOD CARDBOARD ON THIS MESS LOL. I GOT A FEW OF THESE IN A BOX ALREADY, MAYBE SOON I'LL HAVE ENOUGH TO COMPLETE A PAGE IN A FUTURE CHAOS BINDER
2021 OPTIC MIKE YASTRZEMSKI MYTHICAL
I LOVE THIS DUMB SET AND HAVE SINCE I FOUND THE RONALD ACUÑA VERSION AND INSTA-BOUGHT IT. THE GENERIC MYSTICAL 'WE WANTED A TAROT CARD MOTIF BUT TOPPS BEAT US TO IT' DESIGN APPEALS TO ME GREATLY. MOONS, ARROWS AND SPIROGRAPH DESIGNS, JUST WONDERFUL. MIKE YASTRZEMSKI CARDS ARE FUN TOO
