ONLINE DIMEBOX BLASTER - PART 14

EIGHT INSERTS PLUS A BASE CARD THAT LOOKS LIKE AN INSERT AND ANOTHER THAT IF SOMEONE TOLD YOU WAS AN INSERT YOU'D PROBABLY BUY IT

CATEGORY - INSERT UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED

2022 TOPPS JOEY VOTTO 2021'S GREATEST HITS


I'VE FINALLY BEGUN THE ARDUOUS TASK OF SORTING AND CATALOGUING MY INSERT CARDS AFTER PUTTING IT OFF FOR YEARS. THE IDEA OF COLLECTING A TYPE CARD OF EACH INSERT FOR SOME OF THE FLAGSHIP SETS HAS BEEN GROWING LOUDER AND LOUDER IN MY MIND AND IF I WANT TO DO IT I REALLY NEED TO KNOW WHAT I GOT. ONE THING I AIN'T GOT IS 2022 TOPPS INSERT CARDS. NOW I'VE GOT THAT 2021'S GREATEST HITS TYPE CARD CHECKED OFF. AND IT'S A GOOD ONE! ALL HAIL SHINY VOTTO CARDS. JOEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THIS YESTERDAY BUT THE UMPS SHALL HAVE THEIR SHOW

2022 FREDDIE FREEMAN STARS OF MLB


I THINK THERE WERE MORE OF THESE STARS OF MLB CARDS ON THE SITE THAN ACTUAL 2022 BASE CARDS. MAYBE NOT THAT MANY BUT THERE WERE A LOT. A LOT OF MULTIPLE COPIES OF THE SAME PLAYER TOO, THERE'S AT LEAST TWO OTHER COPIES OF FREDDIE OUT THERE. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I FELT SMART WHEN I DIDN'T ACCIDENTALLY BUY BOTH OF THEM! I ONLY BOUGHT THIS ONE. TWO MONTHS AFTER I GOT THE OTHER ONE. WHOOPS. OH WELL, NO SHAME IN HAVING DOUBLES OF THE MVP. OR TRIPLES AS THE CASE MAY BE AS ANOTHER ONE SHOWED UP IN THE LASTEST BOX

1992-93 SKYBOX DAVID ROBINSON FLAGSHIP SERIES


I HAVE PICKED UP A TON OF DAVID ROBINSON INSERTS FROM THE SITE INCLUDING DAVE HERE WITH HIS MOM. I'M GETTING 90S POISONING THE LONGER I LOOK AT THIS CARD, I'D NEED TO SEE A 1-800-COLLECT AD DURING FRIENDS TO GET MUCH MORE 90S THAN THIS. MY GOD THAT SHIRT. I AM GETTING VERY CLOSE TO COMPLETING THIS SET BUT WE'LL SEE TO THAT LATER

2000 BOWMAN CHROME JUAN GONZALEZ TEEN IDOLS


THIS CARD SHOULD NOT WORK. THERE IS ONLY THE BAREST HINT OF COLOR ON HERE AND THIS COMBINED WITH THE TIGERS' STARK UNIFORMS MAKES IT LOOK A LOT LIKE A PANINI PRIZM CARD. BUT IN HAND YOU CAN SEE THE LITTLE SPLASHES OF PRIMARY COLORS AND THE GHOSTLY TIGER LOGO IN THE BACKGROUND POPS AND IT'S KINDA GREAT. A VERY PLEASANT SURPRISE, THIS ONE

2022 PANINI CHRONICLES OBSIDIAN KEVIN SMITH


CATEGORY - CHRONICLES

GOODNESS GRACIOUS THESE OBSIDIAN CARDS LOOK GREAT. SO SHINY! I'M HAVING A HARD TIME NOT STARING AT IT AND ALL THE LITTLE GLOWY NOOKS AND CRANNIES IN THE BACKGROUND. IT'S EVEN A LITTLE OFF CENTER, SOMETHING I APPRECIATE NOW THAT A GOOD CHUNK OF SETS HAVE NO BORDERS. OH NOEZ THE CARD ISN'T PERFECT. NEITHER IS KEVIN SMITH, THE CARD'S STILL GORGEOUS

2022 TOPPS ANDREW MCCUTCHEN 1987 REHASH


I'VE BEEN PICKING UP EVERY ANDREW MCCUTCHEN CARD IN A PHILLIES UNIFORM I SEE, PROBABLY BECAUSE THAT TOPPS VARIATION IS SO DAMN COOL IT RAISES THE COOLNESS OF ALL HIS OTHER CARDS. THE 1987 REHASHES AIN'T COOL THOUGH. THEY FEEL FLIMSY AND THE BACKS ARE FAKE CARDBOARD PRINTED ON GLOSSY STOCK AND IT LOOKS SICKLY. IF TOPPS ARE GOING TO INSIST ON DOING THESE I WISH THEY'D PUT SOME EFFORT INTO IT

2020 PRESTIGE CAMERON HEYWARD POWERHOUSE


CATEGORY - STEELERS, MY FAVORITE TEAM AS YOU ALL KNOW

I TOLD YOU SUCKERS I LOVE THE STEELERS AND HERE'S PROOF. CAM HEYWARD INSERT! HE'S A... BIG DUDE! AND HE HAS THE SAME LAST NAME AS JASON HEYWARD! AND HE... DOES STUFF... FOR THE BEST TEAM! GOOOOOOOO STEELERS, SMELT EM!  CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG 
THAT'S A THING STEELERS FANS SAY!

2020 TOPPS JOHNNY BENCH TURKEY RED


I KEEP ENDING UP WITH MORE AND MORE OF THESE TURKEY RED CARDS. I SWORE I WAS DONE WITH THEM AFTER THE 2010 INSERTS BUT THEY STILL SHOW UP IN MY DIME BOX PILES. I CAN'T BE BLAMED FOR GETTING A GREAT LOOKING CARD OF JOHNNY BENCH, CAN I? I ALREADY HAVE THE FISK, THIS JUST GOES WITH THAT ONE

2020 TOPPS TREA TURNER TURKEY RED


AAAND HERE'S ANOTHER ONE. I'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF TREA TURNER CARDS CHEAP LATELY. I KNOW HE'S NOT HAVING A GREAT SEASON IN PHILLY BUT I STILL FEAR HIM FACING THE BRAVES. HE'S BEAT OUR ASS TOO MUCH, I CAN'T TRUST HIM

2020 SPORTKINGS VOL 2 MIKE RICHTER

CATEGORY - ODDBALL

I GOT THIS ONE SHORTLY AFTER THE HORSE MINI SPORTKINGS CARD FROM THE FIRST BATCH SO I'D HAVE ONE OF THE FULL SIZED CARDS. LITTLE DID I KNOW I'D START SEEING THEM EVERYWHERE AFTER THAT, SINGLES, BLASTERS EVEN LOOSE PACKS. WHOEVER PICKED UP THE BRAND SEEMS TO BE RUNNING THE PRESSES A LOT. THIS IS STILL A NICE LOOKING CARD OF THE GOALIE FOR THE STANLEY CUP WINNERS WAY BACK WHEN I STILL LIKED HOCKEY

UP NEXT - FOUR SPORTS, THREE WITCHES AND ONE MEME

Not gonna lie... I'd be happier coming home today from the flea market with a Homey the Clown t-shirt than baseball cards.
