TODAY WE GET TO SEE ONE OF MY GOOFS. OR IS IT TWO OF MY GOOFS? IT'S NOT MY FINEST MOMENT AT ANY RATE BUT THERE'S STILL GREAT STUFF IN HERE
1993-94 SKYBOX ANDREW LANG & CRAIG EHLO CHANGING FACES
CATEGORY - INSERT WANTLIST
AS YOU'VE SEEN FROM A BUNCH OF THESE POSTS I WENT ON AN INSERT CARD BINGE ON THE SITE AND SNAPPED UP ANY I COULD FIND IF I THOUGHT I DIDN'T ALREADY HAVE IT. 93-94 SKYBOX MISSED ME BACK IN THE DAY SO I WASN'T TERRIBLY FAMILIAR WITH ANY OF THE INSERTS FROM THAT SET. I SAW THIS CHANGING FACES CARD AND WAS ALL 'HELL YEAH, HAWKS INSERT CARD' AND SNAPPED IT UP. LET'S LOOK AT THE BACK
OOPS IT'S A SUBSET CARD. LIKE I SAID, I HAVE ALMOST NONE OF THIS SET SO NOW I HAVE SOME. IT'S A LITTLE SAD THAT THE WRITEUP ON THE BACK IS STILL FAIRLY APPLICABLE TO THE CURRENT HAWKS SQUAD
1995 LEAF DAVID JUSTICE
CATEGORY - BRAVES, WANTLIST
1995 LEAF IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SETS OF THE 90S. I LOVE THAT TRANSPARENT HOLOFOIL FOR THE NAME AND INSET PHOTO. I LIKE A GOOD DAVID JUSTICE CARD AT ALL TIMES BUT THIS ONE'S CARD NUMBER SHOWED UP ON MY WANTLIST AS WELL. WIN-WIN
THE CARD BACKS ARE PRETTY GREAT AS WELL. LOOK AT THAT NUMBER, BIG, LEGIBLE AND SUPER FANCY
1991-92 SKYBOX JON KONCAK
CATEGORY - WANTLIST
IT'S KINDA FUNNY TO ME THAT A TWO MILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT FOR KONCAK MANAGED TO TRAINWRECK THE WHOLE FRANCHISE FOR DECADES. TWO MIL GETS YOU A G-LEAGUE REFUGEE TO SIT ON THE BENCH NOWADAYS. THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST COUPLE DOZEN CARDS I NEED FOR THE 91-92 SKYBOX FIRST SERIES SET SO I HAD TO NAB IT. I HAVE HARDLY ANY CARDS FROM SERIES TWO AND BOXES OF THAT STUFF HAVE GOTTEN EXTRA SPENDY LATELY SO SERIES ONE MIGHT BE THE ONLY ONE FOR ME
1992 BARRY COLLA FRANK THOMAS
CATEGORY - ODDBALL
A WHOLE BUNCH OF THESE POPPED UP ON THE SITE AND WHILE THEY WERE SNAPPED UP TOO QUICK TO PULL THE ENTIRE SET I DID WANT ONE OF THEM JUST TO HAS IT. I PICKED THIS ONE BECAUSE OF THE BACK
HELL YEAH SERIAL NUMBER. AND AN OFFICIAL AUTOGRAPH BALL. AWW YEAH THAT'S THE STUFF. YOU WON'T SEE BIG EMPTY SPACES ON 2024 CARDS AWAITING AN AUTOGRAPH. WELL, UNLESS THERE'S SOME QUALITY CONTROL ISSUES WITH AN INTERN LOSING A SHEET OF STICKERS
1994 DONRUSS EDDIE MURRAY
CATEGORY - WANTLIST
HELL YEAH WANTLIST HALL OF FAMERS. I APPRECIATE THE CAP UNDERNEATH THE BATTING HELMET PHOTO. I AM SUPER CLOSE TO COMPLETING SERIES ONE OF THIS SET AND I SHOULD TRY TO FINISH THAT UP SOON
1987 FLEER STICKERS ASTROS, MARINERS
CATEGORY - WANTLIST?
I'VE ALREADY POSTED SO MANY OF THESE I DON'T REMEMBER IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I POSTED THIS STICKER OR THE SECOND. I BOUGHT TWO OF THEM, THAT'S FOR SURE. I STILL LIKE GETTING THEM EITHER WAY, I WISH MY LCS STILL HAD THE BIG BOX OF STICKERS IT HAD FOR DECADES THAT GOT BOUGHT UP IN THE PANDEMIC CARD SPECULATION FRENZY. OH IF I JUST COULD GO BACK TO THE LCS IN 2019 FOR ONE HOUR. I WOULDN'T BUY MUCH BECAUSE I WAS STILL KINDA BROKE THEN BUT EVERY PENNY WOULD BE SQUANDERED ON JUNK LIKE THIS, I ASSURE YOU
1992 LEAF MATT STAIRS GOLD LEAF ROOKIES
CATEGORY - WANTLIST
ONE OF THE LAST GOLD LEAF ROOKIE STRAGGLERS. THIS 1992 SET IS COMPLETELY COMPLETE NOW, I'VE DOUBLE AND TRIPLE CHECKED IT. I STILL STOP AND LOOK WHENEVER I SEE ONE THOUGH. THE CHECKLIST IS VERY SOLID FOR A PROSPECTS SET AND MATT IS ONE OF THE BETTER PLAYERS IN THE SET
2021 TOPPS CHARLIE MORTON
CATEGORY - BRAVES
CHARLIE'S BACK FOR ONE MORE SEASON ON THE BRAVES BEFORE HE HANDS OFF THE VETERAN PRESENTS BATON TO CHRIS SALE. I FINALLY GOT MY BRAVES TEAM SET WANTLISTS UPDATED TO 2024 LAST WEEKEND. NOW I HAVE TO DECIDE IF I WANT TO RAID THE BASE SETS FOR BRAVES ON RECENT SETS I'LL LIKELY NEVER BUILD
1994 LEAF LIMITED DAVID JUSTICE
CATEGORY - SHINY, BRAVES
I'M TELLIN' YA, DAVE JUSTICE CARDS ARE THE BEST. YEAH, HALF OF THEM SHOW OFF THAT SWING FOLLOW THROUGH BUT THAT'S WHY THEY'RE THE BEST./ SPEAKING OF BEST, HOLY CRAP 94 LEAF LIMITED WAS SUCH A DAZZLER IN 1994. HOLOFOIL JUST EXPLODING EVERYWHERE. MID-90S IS RIGHT THERE WITH THE EARLY 50S AND 1933 AS THE BESTEST TIME EVER FOR BASEBALL CARDS
1993-94 SKYBOX HARVEY GRANT & CHRIS DUDLEY, BOBBY HURLEY & MITCH RICHMOND, ERIC FLOYD & DENNIS RODMAN CHANGING FACES
YEP, I BOUGHT A WHOLE MESS OF THESE 'INSERTS'. I CANNOT COMPLAIN AS THERE'S TWO HALL OF FAMERS IN HERE AND I'VE GREATLY INCREASED THE NUMBER OF 93 SKYBOX IN MY COLLECTION. I MEAN, C'MON, THEY LOOK LIKE INSERTS! WHO CAN BLAME ME
UP NEXT: BRAVES AND SHINY

I've been tricked by those Changing Faces subset cards too. The Costacos posters subset in that product also look just like inserts.
