ONLINE MEGA BOX - PART 19

HERE'S SOME CARDS. YOU LIKE CARDS! HAVE SOME CARDS

1997 METAL UNIVERSE FERNANDO VALENZUELA

 
CATEGORY - WANTLIST

METAL UNIVERSE CARDS ARE DIFFICULT TO FIND AND IMPOSSIBLE TO PHOTOGRAPH. FERNANDO IS PITCHING IN THE MIDDLE OF FLYING ROCKS AND SPEWING LAVA INSIDE AN ACTIVE VOLCANO BUT GOOD LUCK FIGURING THAT OUT FROM THIS PICTURE. METAL CARDS ARE GENERALLY AN AUTO-BUY WHEN I SEE THEM IN DIME BOXES, ESPECIALLY THE UNIVERSE SETS WITH THE COOL BACKGROUNDS

2020 PANINI CONTENDERS JOSE ALTUVE


 CATEGORY - SUPERSTAR

EVERY SO OFTEN I BUY A JOSE ALTUVE CARD SO I CAN FEEL ALIVE AGAIN. IT MUST HAVE BEEN A WHILE SINCE I FELT THAT WAY SINCE I DON'T EVEN LIKE CONTENDERS. WELL, THAT'S NOT TRUE THERE'S A BASKETBALL SET I REALLY LIKE. THIS ISN'T BASKETBALL THOUGH. JOSE MAKES IT WORTH IT

2020 PANINI CONTENDERS MIKE SOROKA


 CATEGORY - BRAVES

SPEAKING OF CONTENDERS... I DON'T HAVE MANY MICHAEL SOROKA CARDS SINCE MOST OF THEM CAME OUT DURING THE PLAGUE. AND NOW THAT HE'S ON THE WHITE SOX I'M NOT REALLY UP TO GETTING MANY MORE. BUT I HAVE A FEW OF THEM TO REMIND ME OF THE GOOD TIMES WHEN SOROKA WAS A BEAST. THIS CARD CAN REMIND ME OF THOSE OTHER TIMES. WHY IS THE TICKET TWICE THE SIZE OF THE PHOTO???

1989-90 O-PEE-CHEE KEVIN LOWE


 CATEGORY - O-PEE-CHEE

89 O-PEE-CHEE IS AN ODD BUT ATTRACTIVE SET. WHAT EVEN IS THIS BORDER? ICE? MARBLE? VANILLA ICE CREAM? NO MATTER, I'LL TAKE A HALL OF FAMER O-PEE-CHEE ANY DAY

2008 UPPER DECK DAVID WRIGHT INFIELD POWER

 
CATEGORY - INSERT

HOO BOY I GOT A LOT OF THESE CARDS OUT OF UPPER DECK PACKS IN 2008. WE ALL GOT LOTS OF EVERY UPPER DECK CARDS OUT OF PACKS IN 2008 BECAUSE WE ALL BOUGHT A REALLY LUDICROUS AMOUNT OF PACKS THAT YEAR. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I HAVE THIS CARD ALREADY I HAVE SO MANY. WERE THESE REGULAR INSERTS OR ONE OF THOSE THAT WERE TWO IN EVERY RACK PACK? I DON'T REALLY NEED THIS CARD EVEN IF I DON'T HAVE IT BUT IT KEPT LOOKING AT ME WITH SAD PUPPY DOG EYES AND I LET IT FOLLOW ME HOME. UPPER DECK INSERTS ARE LIKE THAT SOMETIMES 

2021-22 HOOPS ANTHONY DAVIS SKYVIEW


 CATEGORY - INSERT

THIS ONE DID NOT HAVE TO CONVINCE ME TO PUT IT IN MY CART. I AM PRETTY MUCH DONE BUILDING NEW BASKETBALL SETS BUT I STILL LIKE 'EM AND GOOD LOOKING INSERTS OF FUTURE HALL OF FAMERS ARE A FINE THING TO HAVE. IS THIS CARD GOOD LOOKING, ACTUALLY? I THINK IT IS BUT I MAY JUST LIKE CLOUDY CARDS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THIS DESIGN IS SUPPOSED TO BE THOUGH, IT KINDA LOOKS LIKE AN AIRPLANE WINDOW FLOATING IN MID AIR. MAYBE WONDER WOMAN'S INVISIBLE JET GOT A BASKETBALL COURT INSTALLED. 

2022 OPTIC MATT OLSON


 CATEGORY - BRAVES

I DUNNO WHY I AM DRAKE NO MEME WITH TOPPS CHROME BUT DRAKE YES MEME WITH DONRUSS OPTIC. IT REALLY DOES MAKE NO SENSE! I BUY BRAVES CARDS ON ALL SORTS OF OBNOXIOUS CARD BRANDS SO IT'S NOT A SURPRISE I GOT THIS ONE. I HAD NO IDEA WHEN I PICKED THIS UP OLSON WOULD BREAK THE TEAM HOME RUN RECORD THOUGH

2022 OPTIC BRYCE HARPER


 CATEGORY - SUPERSTAR

HARPER HAS BECOME MY FAVORITE BASEBALL HEEL EVEN THOUGH (MAYBE BECAUSE?) HE'S RUINED MY LIFE FOR TWO STRAIGHT YEARS. HE'S BECOME A VERY LOVABLE VILLAIN AS THE YEARS HAVE PASSED AND IS NO LONGER THE PETULANT KID COMPLAINING ABOUT CLOWN QUESTIONS, BRO. IT REALLY REALLY HELPS HE AVOIDED BECOMING A YANKEE. POOR, POOR JUAN SOTO

2001 VICTORY BARRY BONDS VICTORY'S BEST


 CATEGORY - SUPERSTAR

SPEAKING IF FAVORITE VILLAINS, HERE'S ANOTHER BARRY BONDS CARD. I KNOW I'VE EXPRESSED MY DISDAIN FOR UPPER DECK VICTORY CARDS BUT THIS RETRO UNIFORM WAS TOO GOOD, I HAD TO GET IT. OR MAYBE IT'S THE GIANTS' FUTURE UNIFORM? I KNOW MLB DID A FUTURE UNIFORM GIMMICK BACK AROUND THAT TIME WHERE THEY ALL LOOKED KINDA GOOFY. THEY... WEREN'T ALL THAT WRONG? HELLO CITY UNIFORMS

2023 TOPPS ALEX BOHM RAINBOW


 CATEGORY - SHINY

THIS CARD IS COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY BUT IT'S 2023 TOPPS AND RAINBOW SHINY AND THOSE ARE TWO THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY SO WHY NOT. I DIDN'T BUY AS MUCH 2023 TOPPS AS I WANTED LAST YEAR AND NOW THAT I'VE SEEN 2024 TOPPS I AIN'T BUYING ANY MORE OF IT EITHER

2022 TOPPS VIDAL BRUJAN 1987 35TH ANNIVERSARY


 CATEGORY - INSERT

VIDAL BRUJAN HAS ALREADY MOVED ON TO THE MARLINS SO I'M NOT CERTAIN IF HE'S STILL A PROSPECT OR NOT. HE'S IN A BUNCH OF 2022 SETS THO, I SEE HIS CARDS ALL OVER THE PLACE. I STILL NEED TO GET A HANDLE ON MY TOPPS INSERTS FROM THE PAST FIFTEEN YEARS SO I CAN FIGURE OUT WHICH RECENT INSERTS I EVEN NEED

UP NEXT: ALMOST ALL BASEBALL CARDS!

Totally agree, metal universe are must haves when they are found

Those Metal sets from the 90's are awesome. Just found my 1996-97 basketball set and it provided me with a solid 10 minutes of entertainment while flipping through it.
