THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO THEME TO THIS POST. WE'VE GOT CARDS FROM FOUR DIFFERENT SPORTS, TWO VERY DIFFERENT MOVIES, AND AN ACTUAL PAINTING. LET'S JUMP RIGHT INTO THE NONSENSE
1990 PACIFIC WIZARD OF OZ THE WINGED MONKEYS
CATEGORY - NON-SPORT, SUPERSTAR
I LOVE THE WIZARD OF OZ AND THE WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST AND MARGARET HAMILTON. WHEN I SAW THIS PACIFIC SET I HIT A CARD GALLERY TO FIND A CARD WITH A GOOD PICTURE OF THE WITCH. I WANTED A NICE CLOSE UP WHICH I DID NOT GET BUT WHEN I SAW THE FLYING MONKEY I WAS SOLD. WITCHY-POO IS LITERALLY MY TWITTER AVATAR SO THIS CARD SHOULDN'T BE A BIG SHOCK TO ANY OF YOU WHO FOLLOW ME ON THERE
2020 OPTIC MATT RYAN
CATEGORY - FALCONS
I DON'T LIKE THE FALCONS I SWEAR. I JUST DON'T HAVE A LOT OF MATT RYAN CARDS AND NOW THAT HIS CAREER IS OVER HE'S BASICALLY AS GOOD AS DAN MARINO. EVERYONE LOVES DAN, HE WAS IN ACE VENTURA! OR WAS IT THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY. AT ANY RATE WHEN MATT RYAN STARS IN AN INAPPROPRIATE COMEDY FOR TEENS I'LL HAVE THE LAST LAUGH
1990 TOPPS MARK CLAYTON 1000 YARD CLUB
CATEGORY - WANTLIST
MOAR FEETSBAWL! I ACTUALLY NEED THIS CARD, AS MUCH AS YOU CAN NEED 1990 FOOTBALL CARDS. STILL WORKING ON PICKING OFF THESE 1000 YARD CLUB SETS AND MAKING SOME PROGRESS THANKS TO BASEBALLCARDSTORE.CA
1993 SKYBOX DEMOLITION MAN 21ST CENTURY TACO BELL
CATEGORY - NON-SPORT
I ALLOW MYSELF TO BUY SOMETHING COMPLETELY STUPID ONCE EVERY COUPLE ORDERS AND THIS ABSOLUTELY FITS THE BILL. I'M PRETTY SURE A LARGE CHUNK OF THE PEOPLE WHO READ THIS BLOG IS AT LEAST IN THEIR 40S BY NOW WHICH MEANS YOU ALL REMEMBER THE ABSOLUTELY INSANE AD BLITZ TACO BELL MADE WHEN THIS MOVIE CAME OUT. I COULDN'T PASS THIS UP, IT'S TOO DUMB AND MAKES ME LAUGH. IT'S KINDA FUNNY THAT TACO BELL'S ACTUAL LOGO NOW ISN'T TERRIBLY FAR OFF FROM THIS ONE. THEY HAVE NINE MORE YEARS TO REPLACE EVERY OTHER RESTAURANT ON EARTH AND MAKE THIS FILM PROPHETIC
2022 DONRUSS OZZIE ALBIES
CATEGORY - BRAVES
HOORAY! ANOTHER ACUÑA LITE! THIS JOKE IS GOING TO GET OLD QUICK WITH ALL THE OTHER OZZIES I'VE PICKED UP FROM HERE. I'M UTTERLY FASCINATED BY THIS ODD M.C, ESCHER LOOKING DESIGN FROM DONRUSS. IT REALY DOES LOOK 3-D TO ME IN HAND BUT THEN AGAIN I AM OVERDUE FOR AN EYE DOCTOR APPOINTMENT
1993 COMIC IMAGES NORMAN ROCKWELL THE DUGOUT
CATEGORY - NON-SPORT? BRAVES
THIS IS MY FAVORITE NORMAN ROCKWELL PAINTING BY ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE. THE EXPRESSION ON EVERY FACE IN THIS PICTURE IS JUST PERFECT. NORMAN PAINTED THIS BASED ON A GAME IN BOSTON - THAT'S RIGHT THE BRAVES ARE BEATING UP ON THE CUBS! IN THE CLUBHOUSE IS BOB RUSH, CHARLEY GRIMM, AL WALKER AND JOHNNY SCHMITZ. I SAW THE ACTUAL PAINTING AT A ROCKWELL MUSEUM IN CHICAGO AND ALWAYS REGRETTED NOT BUYING A PRINT
MY FAVORITE FACE. THIS GUY COULD BE THE MASCOT FOR BRAVES TWITTER
2017-18 HOOPS HARRISON BARNES COURTSIDE
CATEGORY - INSERT
I DON'T HAVE A LOT TO SAY ABOUT THIS ONE. IT'S A NICE LOOKING SHINY BASKETBALL INSERT AND I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF THOSE
1988 PACIFIC LEGENDS MINNIE MINOSO
CATEGORY - PLAYER COLLECTION
UPON FURTHER REVIEW, THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ACTUAL WANTLIST NEED. DON'T CARE, I LOVE MINNIE AND I'M HAPPY HE GOT IN THE HALL AND MAD THAT IT TOOK SO LONG. I'M ACTUALLY REALLY CLOSE TO COMPLETING THE 1988 FIRST SERIES PACIFIC LEGENDS SET NOW AND COULD PROBABLY FINISH IT WITHIN THE YEAR IF I PUT MY MIND TO IT
1988-89 ESSO STICKER PAUL COFFEY
CATEGORY - PLAYER COLLECTION
COFFEY IS MY THIRD AND LARGEST HOCKEY PLAYER COLLECTION. I FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE SOME FAVORITE FORWARDS BUT NAH, EVERYONE I COLLECT IS A DEFENSEMAN OR GOALIE RIGHT NOW. I BECAME A FAN OF COFFEY PLAYING EA NHL '93. COFFEY WAS A MONSTER WHO COULD SCORE AT WILL. MY FRIEND ALWAYS TOOK THE BLACKHAWKS AND KEPT ME FROM PLAYING WITH CHELIOS, SO I WAS THE RED WINGS AND BEAT HIM CONSTANTLY. AT LEAST UNTIL NHL '94 CAME OUT AND ALL THE CHEAP TRICKS I LEARNED IN '93 STOPPED WORKING
THIS THING IS ACTUALLY A STICKER AND NOT ONE OF THOSE PEEL OFF KINDS. THIS IS THE KIND YOU LICK LIKE A STAMP SO YOU CAN PASTE IT INTO AN ALBUM. AND IT'S A HELL OF AN ALBUM JUDGING BY THIS CHECKLIST. I GET JEALOUS OF THE CANADIANS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES. I WANT AN ALBUM FULL OF HOCKEY STARS COVERED IN TASTY GLUE!
1992 UPPER DECK PHILLIES HEROES OF BASEBALL HOLO STICKER
CATEGORY - WANTLIST
I'M ALSO TRYING TO COMPLETE ALL THE UPPER DECK HOLOGRAM STICKER SETS. THE THINGS ARE SEEMINGLY EVERYWHERE ESPECIALLY THE SMALL ONES FROM 89 AND 90, BUT THE COLLATION WAS SO ATROCIOUS THAT IT'S A LITTLE TRICKY TO COMPLETE THE SET. EXPECIALLY SO FOR THE 1992 STICKERS WHICH WERE NOT IN EVERY PACK AND WERE DITCHED AFTER THE LOW SERIES BECAUSE MLB DECIDED THAT COMPANIES DIDN'T NEED TCHOTCHKES INSERTED INTO PACKS ANYMORE. NO MORE STICKERS, NO MORE PUZZLES, NO MORE GUM. LAZY CHEAP BASTARDS
UP NEXT - WE START TO CALM DOWN A BIT AND THEN COMPLETELY LOSE OUR HEADS

As a loyal Bills fan, it's impossible for me to love Dan. I even like some current Braves more than Marino.
I didn't think anyone wanted those holo stickers from UD. I had a ton of those have purged them over the years.
