ONLINE MEGA BOX - PART 4

TODAY WE HAVE SEVEN SPORTS AND THREE CARS AND WE START WITH TWO SPORTS IN ONE

1990 COLLECT-A-CARD KINGPINS CURTIS ODOM

CATEGORY - FRIGGIN HILARIOUS

THIS CARD WAS ONE I TRIED TO GET A COUPLE YEARS AGO WHEN THE SITE DROPPED THE PRICE TO FIVE CENTS A CARD AND I GOT GREEDY AND TRIED TO PUT THREE HUNDRED CARDS IN MY CART AND BROKE THE SITE. I COULDN'T REMEMBER WHICH CARD WAS THE FUNNY BOWLING CARD I WANTED WHEN I JUMPED BACK INTO THE DIME BOX SO I LOOKED AT THE GALLERY ON TCDB AND IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED THIS AS THE ONE. THIS IS CURTIS' ONLY CARD AS FAR AS I CAN TELL AND IT'S PROBABLY THE GREATEST ONE-HIT WONDER IN TRADING CARD HISTORY 

2012 OPENING DAY SUPERSTAR CELEBRATIONS MARTIN PRADO

CATEGORY - BRAVES, INSERT

I KINDA FEEL LIKE I BOUGHT THIS CARD BEFORE FROM THIS SAME SITE BUT IT HAS JASON HEYWARD WITH A CAMEO SO IF I DO HAVE TWO OF THEM THIS WILL SIMPLY GO INTO THE HEYWARD BINDER

AS A SIDE NOTE - I COMPLETELY REGRET ALL MY YEARS OF OPENING DAY SLANDER. THE BASE SET SUCKS BUT I REALLY REALLY MISS THE INSERTS

2008 INDIANA JONES HERITAGE DRIVING BY SHORT ROUND

CATEGORY - NON-SPORTS

THIS SET CAME OUT IN 2008 AND COMPLETELY PASSED ME BY SOMEHOW EVEN THOUGH I WAS RAGING HERITAGE FANBOY BUYING UP EVERY SPORT AND EVEN THE MARS ATTACKS AND STAR WARS VERSIONS. MAYBE IT WAS HOBBY ONLY? IN ANY CASE I REALLY LIKE TEMPLE OF DOOM AND I APPRECIATE SHORT ROUND HERE WITH HIS NEW YORK GIANTS HAT AND PICKED OUT THIS CARD OF AN OSCAR WINNER

1991 LIME ROCKDREAM MACHINES 1968 FORD MUSTANG

CATEGORY - HORSIE

WHOOPS - I ALREADY BOUGHT THIS CARD, IT CAME IN THE LAST BATCH I POSTED. OH WELL, NOW I HAVE TWO. MAYBE I'LL TAKE A GREEN MARKER TO THIS ONE AND PRETEND IT REALLY IS THE BULLITT CAR

2013 SCORE MATT RYAN AIRMAIL

CATEGORY - I DON'T LIKE THE FALCONS STOP SAYING THAT

MY METHODOLOGY FOR PICKING UP CARDS IN THESE LOTS FOR A WHILE WENT LKE THIS: I HAD A FOLDER FULL OF BOOKMARKED CARDS I WAS INTERESTED IN. I PICKED OUT ABOUT 50 OR SO COOL ONES I WANTED THE MOST AND PUT THEM ASIDE IN A SEPERATE FOLDER. THEN WHEN A TON OF NEW CARDS GOT POSTED, I PICKED OUT THE ONES I WANTED BUT DIDN'T BUY UNTIL I SAW A CARD I COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT. THEN I MADLY ADDED 40 CARDS TO MY CART PLUS SHIPPING AND TRIED TO CHECK OUT. AND LOST LIKE TWO OR THREE CARDS IN THE TIME IT TOOK TO ADD EVERYTHING SO I HAD TO TAKE THOSE OUT AND ADD A COUPLE MORE TO GET BACK TO 40 CARDS. AND THEN LOST TWO OR THREE MORE CARDS AND HAD TO REPEAT UNTIL I COULD FINALLY PAY WITHOUT GETTING SNIPED. EVENTUALLY I LOST TOO MANY CARDS AND THEN FINALLY FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS AND JUST DID SMALLER ORDERS WITH THE NEW CARDS I WANTED. AT ANY RATE, A WHOLE PAGE OF A CERTAIN PLAYER'S CARDS CAME UP AND MATTY ICE HERE WAS IN LINE TO BE A FILLER CARD BECAUSE I SAW IT AT ONE POINT AND IT LOOKED COOL. I THOUGHT IT WAS AN INSERT BUT IT'S ACTUALLY A BASE CARD. OR MAYBE A SUBSET CARD? THERE'S FULL STATS ON THE BACK SO I'M NOT SURE. I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND SCORE FOOTBALL AT ALL AFTER ABOUT 1992

2021 CHRONICLES TITAN DANIEL LYNCH

CATEGORY - CHRONICLES 

I HAVE GONE ABSOLUTELY APESHIT ON THE CHRONICLES CARDS ON THIS SITE. AT FIRST I WAS BEING PICKY AND ONLY GETTING THE BEST PLAYERS AND MY FAVORITE DESIGNS BUT I'VE GONE OVERBOARD LATELY. THE TITAN DESIGN IS ONE OF MY TOP FAVORITES SO I SNAGGED THEM WHEN I COULD. DANIEL LYNCH IS STILL PITCHING FOR THE ROYALS WHICH IS MORE THAN I CAN SAY FOR A LOT OF THE CHRONICLES ROOKIES IN THE SET

1998-99 SKYBOX METAL UNIVERSE MAURICE TAYLOR NEOPHYTES

CATEGORY - INSERT

IT'S REALLY HARD TO PASS UP ON SKYBOX METAL INSERTS. THIS IS THE SECOND NEOPHYTES CARD I PICKED UP. I THINK THE FIRST ONE WAS ANTONIO DANIELS AND I DON'T KNOW WHY ANTONIO GOT PICKED BEFORE MAURICE. THEY'RE BOTH NICE AND SHINY THOUGH AND VERY METAL

2001-02 PACIFIC HEADS UP RAY FERRARO

CATEGORY - SHINY

THE THRASHERS MAKE ME SAD BUT PACIFIC MAKES ME HAPPY AND CRAZY PATTERNED HOLOFOIL CARDS REALLY MAKE ME HAPPY. FERRARO WAS A COOL DUDE AND I'M GLAD HE GOT TO PLAY ON MY DEAD TEAM FOR HALF A MINUTE

1997 COLLECTOR'S CHOICE BILL ELLIOTT CC600 GAME CARD

CATEGORY - SUPERSTAR, WEIRDNESS

THIS ONE'S A REAL ODD ONE. I DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THERE BEING A COLLECTOR'S CHOICE RACING SET AND I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE WAS A COLLECTIBLE RACING GAME INSERTED IN THE PACKS. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE GAME WOULD EVEN WORK BUT IT WAS A NEAT ODDBALL OF AWESOME BILL SO IT WENT IN MY CART

1984 TOPPS WILLIE TULLIS

CATEGORY - WANTLIST

ANOTHER NUMBER CROSSED OFF MY 80S TOPPS FOOTBALL WANTLIST. I ONLY NEED ABOUT 50 OR SO CARDS TO COMPLETE THE 1984 SET BUT WHO OF THEM ARE THAT GUY AND YOU-KNOW-WHO SO I'M ESSENTIALLY AS CLOSE AS I AM WITH MY 1952 TOPPS SET. I REALLY DIG THE OILERS COLORS ON THIS CARD AND I REALLY WISH THEY'D STRIKE OIL IN GALLATIN SO NASHVILLE COULD JUST GO BACK TO THESE UNIFORMS

1994 FLEER ULTRA MARK LANGSTON STRIKEOUT KINGS

CATEGORY - INSERT

THIS CARD WAS THE IMPETUS TO FINALLY PUT TOGETHER A FLEER/ULTRA INSERT WANTLIST. FLEER'S INSERT OFFERINGS IN THE 90S WERE THE BEST IN MY OPINION, THEY ALWAYS LOOKED GOOD AND FLEER DID THEIR BEST TO MAKE SURE YOU PULLED THEM FROM PACKS. THIS STRIKEOUT KINGS SET FROM 1994 IS FANTASTIC WITH THE MULTIPLE PHOTOS AND GAUDY LOGO. I STILL THINK OF MARK LANGSTON AS A MARINER THOUGH

2000-01 TOPPS DAN MAJERLIE

CATEGORY - WANTLIST

I'M STILL KICKING MYSELF FOR NOT BUYING A SINGLE PACK OF TOPPS BASKETBALL CARDS IN 2000-2001. WHY DID I SKIP THIS PURPLE NIGHTMARE OF A SET? PROBABLY BECAUSE THE HAWKS WERE ASS AND I WAS FALCONS FOOTBALL CRAZED AT THE TIME. I WILL STILL PICK UP ANY SINGLES I SEE AND WILL PROBABLY COMPLETE THE SET AROUND 2078 JUST BY PICKING OFF RANDOM CARDS FROM CHEAPO BOXES AS I FIND THEM
