BIRTHDAY BOOLSHEET BLASTER: PART 13 - FIFTY CENT REJECTS D

THE NEXT BATCH OF FIFTY CENT REJECT CARDS FEATURES NAMES STARTING WITH D AND THERE WAS A JOHNNY DAMON BLOODBATH IN THE FIFTY CENT BOX

THERE WERE WELL OVER A DOZEN DAMONS WHICH SEEMS LIKE A LOT BUT THERE'S ANOTHER PLAYER IN THE BOX THAT BLOWS JOHNNY OUT OF THE WATER. JUST WAIT TILL WE REACH THE H'S. THIS IS STILL A WHO'S WHO OF ODDBALL 00S CARDS FROM THE PRETTY NICE (TRIPLE THREADS, FINEST, 1996 UPPER DECK) TO THE HIDEOUS (PLAY BALL, UD ARTIFACTS, THAT BOWMAN HERITAGE DISASTER). THERE WAS EVEN ONE CARD I NEEDED!

HERE'S A 2007 FLEER TRADITION CARD I INEXPLICABLY HAVE A WANTLIST FOR AND I NEED A JOHNNY. DO I REALLY THOUGH? DO I NEED A JOHNNY DAMON UPPER DECK ERA FLEER TRADITION CARD FOR A SET I WILL NEVER EVER COMPLETE? EH, IT'S ON THE WANTLIST I GUESS

HERE'S A BETTER JOHNNY CARD. A 1996 SPORTFLIX UC3 CARD. GET IT?? YOU SEE THREE??? MOAR PUNS ON CARDS, PLEASE! THIS IS NICE. I PREFER KANSAS CITY ROYALS JOHNNY DAMON TO COMPLAINING HE WAS ARRESTED FOR A DWI BECAUSE HE'S A TRUMP SUPPORTER JOHNNY DAMON

THERE WAS ALSO A HEALTHY PILE OF SHAWON DUNSTON CARDS BUT IT WAS HALF THE NUMBER OF DAMON CARDS AND THEY WERE ALL JUNK WAX-ERA BASE CARDS. EXCEPT THIS FINEST CARD, FINEST IS NEVER JUNK. THIS CARD HAS GONE A LITTLE GREEN BUT YOU DON'T NOTICE AS MUCH WHEN THE BORDER'S GREEN TOO

90S INSERT CARD ALERT!!! HERE'S A 1997 UPPER DECK ROCK SOLID FOUNDATION INSERT OF CARLOS DELGADO WHO WAS ON A TON OF 90S INSERTS. THIS IS A VERY NICE LOOKING SET WITH THE HOLOFOIL AND BLACK MARBLE BORDER AND IS ONE OF THE MORE COMMON INSERTS FROM 1997 SO THEY'RE NOT DIFFICULT TO FIND. CARLOS ALSO HAD A COUPLE TRIPLE THREADS CARDS IN THE BOX, I SHOULD FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH OF THE SET I HAVE ONCE I'M DONE SORTING THESE OUT

THIS LEN DYKSTRA ROOKIE IS A CARD I ACTUALLY NEED, I HAVE 86 DONRUSS IN A BINDER AND EVERYTHING. IT WAS REALLY FUNNY TO SEE THIS CARD MIXED IN WITH ABOUT TEN 2020 DONRUSS RETRO 86 CARDS OF LENNY

BUCKY FUCKIN DENT ON TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CARD WITH THE SAME DAMN PHOTO. THEY'RE FIVE YEARS APART THOUGH AND THE 2016 ARCHIVES CARD IS ZOOMED IN SO THAT MAKES IT OK, RIGHT? NEW BUCKY CARD INCOMING IN 2026

GOOD: A TOMMY DAVIS 2001 SP LEGENDARY CUTS CARD I DIDN'T HAVE. EVEN BETTER: IT WASN'T IN THE PILE OF LEGENDARY CUTS I PICKED UP FROM THE CARD SHOW!

HERE'S A NEW SHINY CARD OF DANNY DUFFY FROM THE 2017 REHASH OF THE 87 TOPPS SET. I CARE NOT FOR THESE BUT I APPRECIATE THE SHINY

RICK DEMPSEY WAS NOT A PLAYER I EXPECTED IN THIS PILE BUT IT'S COOL. I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN INSERT ATT FIRST BUT I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY A 2005 DONRUSS SIGNATURE BASE CARD? I WAS UNAWARE THAT 2005 DONRUSS SIGNATURE EXISTED UNTIL NOW. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY PANINI DESIGN YEARS BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY SHOWED UP. ESPECIALLY THE MINIMALIST BACK WITH TWO TEAM LOGOS AND NOT MUCH ELSE. IT'S SORT OF UNCANNY

ROB DIBBLE MAKES AN APPEARANCE ON DONRUSS' VERSION OF A LEGENDS SET, 2005 DONRUSS GREATS. I DON'T KNOW WHY I NEVER GOT INTO THESE WHEN I WENT ALL GOOFY OVER ARCHIVES, UD LEGENDS AND FLEER GREATS. MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE OF THE BABY BLUE AND SEPIA (??) DESIGN, MAYBE BECAUSE DONRUSS DROPPED DEAD SHORTLY AFTER THIS SET WAS RELEASED

HOORAY! A 2013 1972 MINI CARD! I COLLECT THESE! I'VE COLLECTED ABOUT FOUR OF THE RA DICKEY CARDS ALREADY BUT I LIKE FINDING THESE ANYWAY. DICKEY IS ONE OF A LONG LINE OF VET PITCHERS THE BRAVES PICKED UP OUTTA NOWHERE FOR A SEASON OR TWO. I REALLY HOPE CHRIS SALE THROWS 190 INNINGS LIKE RA DID  

THE LAST CARD OF THE D'S IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE WHOLE BOX. IN 1997 TOPPS INSERTED INTER-LEAGUE MATCHUP CARDS ON DOUBLE-SIDED FINEST STYLE STOCK WITH PEEL-OFF PRETECTORS AND EVERYTHING. THEY LOOK REALLY GREAT EVEN WITH THAT UGLY BAR OF LEGALESE AND COPYRIGHTS AT THE BOTTOM. THIS ONE HAS BRAVES LEGEND BRIAN JORDAN ON THE FRONT. GUESS WHO'S ON THE BACK?

THAT'S RIGHT, WE'VE GONE FULL CIRCLE WITH YET ANOTHER JOHNNY DAMON CARD. I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THIS IS A BRIAN JORDAN CARD HOWEVER. I NEED TO FIND A FINAL HOME FOR THIS CARD SO I CAN PERFORM THE RARE DOUPLE-PEEL MANUVER. FREE YOUR FINEST, FOLKS!
