WE ARE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A LONG STRETCH OF RANDOMNESS SO JUST BUCKLE UP AND ENJOY THE CHAOS. I PROMISED A KING AND HERE'S YOUR KING
1991 TRAKS RICHARD PETTY THE KING
CATEGORY - SUPERSTAR
RICHARD PETTY WEARING A CAPE AND CROWN HOLDING A TROPHY THE SIZE OF A TODDLER IS A CARD I WILL NOT PASS ON. I THINK I HAVE NARROWED DOWN MY RACING CARD FOCUS ON KING PETTY, WILD BILL FROM DAWSONVILLE AND WEIRDO VINTAGE AND RETRO STYLE CARDS
I VASTLY PREFER THESE JUNKWAX ERA RACING CARDS FROM THE NEW ONES. RACING CARDS FROM AFTER THE MID-90S START TO GET TOO CORPORATE. THERE'S NO GOOFINESS LIKE THIS BAR GRAPH WITH A PILE OF MONEY REPRESENTING PETTY'S WINNINGS FROM 1979
2000 UPPER DECK SEAN CASEY PRIME PERFORMERS
CATEGORY - INSERT
THIS CARD IS UGLY AS SIN AND ACTUALLY LOOKS WORSE IN PERSON THAN THIS COLORFUL PICTURE AS YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN NOT SEE THE SHADOW CASEY OVER ON THE LEFT WITHOUT STANDING ON YOUR HEAD WITH PERFECT LIGHTING. IT'S A DREADFUL DESIGN, BUT EARLY 00S INSERTS ARE HARD TO FIND AND A CHECK OF MY UD BOX SHOWED THAT I HAD NO OTHER EXAMPLES FROM THIS SET. A TYPE CARD IS A TYPE CARD, NO MATTER HOW UGLY
2022 PANINI CORNERSTONE SEAN MURPHY
CATEGORY - BRAVES
YET ANOTHER UNNECESSARY CORNERSTONE CARD TO THROW IN THE BRAVES BOX. BUT THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT - IT DOESN'T HAVE THAT ODD VERTICAL SHINY STRIPE THAT SHOWS UP IN OTHER PHOTOGRAPHS OF THESE CARDS - WHY'S THAT?
BECAUSE IT'S PARALLEL TIME! MOST CORNERSTONE PARALLELS I'VE SEEN SIMPLY HAVE DIFFERENT COLORED FOIL STAMPING, BUT THIS ONE HAS A FUNKY TRIANGLE TEXTURE ON IT. I HAVE VERY FEW SEAN MURPHY CARDS SO I'LL TAKE IT
1982 TOPPS KEVIN HOUSE
CATEGORY - WANTLIST
IF I SEE A VINTAGE TOPPS CARD I NEED FOR CHEAPS, I'M BUYING IT. 1982 IS A GREAT SET JUST BECAUSE YOU GET TO SEE THE CREAMSICLE HELMETS. KEVIN HOUSE HAD HIS BEST YEAR IN '81 AND WOULD HAVE GOTTEN A 1000 YEARD CLUB INSERT CARD IF TOPPS DID THOSE IN 1982
1982 TOPPS IN ACTION ED MURRAY AND RAFAEL SEPTIEN
CATEGORY - WANTLIST
TWO KICKER IN ACTION CARDS WERE ADDED TO THE SET AS WELL. I GOTTA SAY ED MURRAY LOOKS MUCH COOLER THAN RAFAEL SEPTIEN ON THESE CARDS. 1982 TOPPS IS PROBABLY THE 80S SET I NEED THE MOST CARDS FROM BYT I'M CHIPPING AWAY AT IT NICELY
2022 BOWMAN PLATINUM WILLIAM CONTRERAS
CATEGORY - BRAVES
I LIKE THIS SHINY WILD BILL CARD A LOT ALTHOUGH I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY BOWMAN PLATINUM EXISTS. THERE'S A FINITE SUPPLY OF WILLIAM CONTRERAS CARDS IN A BRAVES UNI SO I SHALL ENJOY THEM WHILE I CAN. DID THIS SET ACTUALLY COME OUT IN 2022? IT'S HARD TO TELL NOWADAYS, THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY BE COMING OUT NEXT YEAR
1993-94 UPPER DECK ROOKIE EXCHANGE JAMAL MASHBURN
CATEGORY - INSERT
HOORAY! ANOTHER 90S INSERT I DIDN'T HAVE ALREADY. I BOUGHT A LOT OF THESE PACKS IN 93-94 BUT NEVER PULLED THE EXCHANGE CARD SO NO ROOKIES FOR ME. THE BIG PRIZE OF THE ROOKIE CLASS WAS CHRIS WEBBER SO IT'S NOT A TRAGEDY I GUESS. LIKE SO MANY CARDS FROM THAT TIME THIS ONE HAS A LITTLE BIT OF BRICKING SNOW. I'LL PRETEND IT'S A PANINI HOLIDAY CARD AND PUT IT IN THE BASKETBALL INSERT BOX
1992 UPPER DECK FLORIDA MARLINS HOLOGRAM
CATEGORY - WANTLIST
SLOWLY BUT SURELY CHIPPING AWAY AT THE 1992 STICKERS SET. I FOUND THE TIGERS STICKER HIDING WITH MY UPPER DECK INSERTS THIS WEEK! THESE CARDS ARE STOOPID HARD TO GET A CLEAN PHOTO OF WHEN YOU HAVE A POTATO PHONE AND NO LIGHT TABLE
1996-97 STADIUM CLUB CRAIG EHLO WELCOME ADDITION
CATEGORY - INSERT
I THINK I WAS STARTING TO GET INSERT CRAZY AT THIS POINT. I DON'T REALLY COLLECT STADIUM CLUB BASKEETBALL ANYTHING, ALTHOUGH I LIKE HAWKS LEGEND CRAIG EHLO. THE SHINY HOLOFOIL ACCIDENTALLY MATCHES THE UNIFORM WHICH IS NEAT
1992 TOPPS GOLD WINNERS BIP ROBERTS
CATEGORY - OH NOEZ
BIPPED AGIN!
UP NEXT: RANDOM NONSENSE CONTINUES BUT 'INSERTS' SEEMS TO BE THE THEME OF THE POST
