START WITH BRAVES AND END WITH SHINY. LET'S GO
2023 TOPPS MATT OLSON
CATEGORY - BRAVES
I GOT TWO OF THESE, ONE FOR THE SET AND ONE FOR THE TEAM. MAN, IT FELT SO GOOD LAST YEAR WHEN ALL THE FREDDIE COMPLAINERS HAD TO WATCH MATT BREAK THE TEAM HOME RUN RECORD. LOOKING FORWARD TO WATCHING THIS DUDE HIT BOPS FOR THE REST OF THE DECADE
1983 O-PEE-CHEE BIFF POCOROBA
CATEGORY - BRAVES
SPEAKING OF TEAM SETS I NEED TO GET MY O-PEE-CHEE HOUSE IN ORDER. I WAS LOOKING THROUGH MY 80S SETS THE OTHER DAY AND DISCOVERED I HAD A COMPLETE 1984 O-PEE-CEE TEAM SET. WHEN THE HECK DID THAT HAPPEN?? I HAVE A SMALL NOTEBOOK I USE FOR ORGANIZING BLOG POSTS AND IDEAS AND I JUST ADDED A NEW TO-DO LIST PAGE WITH 'GET O-PEE-CHEE IN ORDER' RIGHT AT THE TOP. I WILL FORGET ABOUT IT IN TWO DAYS BUT IT'S IN THERE. IN THE MEANTIME I CAN CHECK RECEVEUR BIFF ON MY 83 NEEDS LIST THAT I HAVEN'T ACTUALLY WRITTEN UP YET
2019 BOWMAN PLATINUM SEAN MURPHY
MURPHY NOW HAS A FEW BRAVES CARDS OUT THERE IN THE WILD WHICH IS GREAT BUT I'LL STILL PICK UP A FEW GOOD LOOKING A'S CARDS OF THE DUDE. BOWMAN PLATINUM IS SUCH AN INESSENTIAL SET THAT IT TOOK ME FOUR GUESSES TO FIGURE OUT THAT THIS CARD IS FROM 2019. IT'S A TOP PROSPECT CARD TOO, NOT EVEN A BASE CARD. WHO CARES, IT'S SHINY

2019 BOWMAN EDDIE ROSARIO
EDDIE ROSARIO IS NO LONGER ON THE BRAVES AND AS OF WHEN I'M WRITING THIS HASN'T EVEN BEEN SIGNED YET. BUT FOR A WEEK IN 2021 HE WAS WILLIE MAYS TIMES FRANK ROBINSON AGAINST THE DODGERS SO ANY EDDIE CARD WILL FOREVER MAKE ME SMILE. TWINS, GUARDIANS, BRAVES OR TO BE DETERMINED, DOESN'T MATTER
2021 BOWMAN BRADEN SHEWMAKE
POOR BRADEN SHEWMAKE. HE WAS OUR PRESUMED DANSBY REPLACEMENT FOR YEARS, THEN GOT WALLY PIPP'D BY VAUGHN GRISSOM AND ULTIMATELY SENT TO THE WHITE SOX IN THE GREAT 40-MAN ROSTER DUMP OF 2023. MY BRAVES BOXES ARE LITTERED WITH THIS KIND OF PROSPECT SO BRADEN WILL FIT RIGHT IN. WHO KNOWS, MAYBE HE'LL GIT GUD IN CHICAGO LIKE TYLER FLOWERS DID YEARS AGO AND MAKE A HOMECOMING A DECADE FROM NOW
2001 UPPER DECK JOHN DALY STAT LEADERS
GOLF IS BELOW RACING, BOWLING AND CRICKET IN THE LIST OF SPORTS CARDS I COLLECT. THE ONLY GOLFER I REALLY CARE ANYTHING ABOUT IS TIGER AND GOOD LUCK FINDING HIS CARDS. BUT JOHN DALY IS NOT A GOLFER, HE IS A GODDAMN LEGEND. I SAW THIS INSERT OF DALY AND BROKE MY MOUSE CLICKING ADD TO CART. YEAH HE'S A GREAT GOLFER BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GOLF MOMENTS OF ALL TIME. FAR SUPERIOR TO ANY OF TIGER'S MEMES AND THAT'S WHAT A LEGEND MAKES
1988 PACIFIC LEGENDS MEL STOTTLEMYRE AND BOB LEMON
I'VE BEEN PICKING OFF PACIFIC LEGENDS CARDS OFF THE SITE FOR A WHILE NOW. AFTER THE LATEST PACKAGE I RECEIVED I WAS DOWN TO ONLY NEEDING BOB LEMON TO COMPLETE SERIES ONE. IN A FIT OF ORGANIZATION I WENT THROUGH MY PREVIOUS BOXES TO PUT AWAY SOME INSERT CARDS AND REALIZED I MISSED THESE TWO PREVIOUSLY. SERIES ONE COMPLETE, BAYBEE! ONLY TOOK ME THIRTY SIX YEARS! I WONDER IF THE MICKEY MANTLE CARD STILL SELLS FOR TWENTY FIVE BUCKS LIKE IT DID WHEN THE SET FIRST CAME OUT. NOW I GOTTA GET WORKING ON THE 1989 AND 1990 SERIES, I'VE GOT A LONG WAY TO GO ON THEM
1998-99 TOPPS DIKEMBE MUTOMBO
DEKE'S PUTTING A HURTIN' ON THAT RIM. I BOUGHT A DECENT AMOUNT OF THIS SET IN 1999 BUT NOT ENOUGH TO GET CLOSE TO THE SET. HALL OF FAME WANTLIST GETS ALWAYS MAKE ME HAPPY BUT A HAWKS LEGEND AT THAT? YESSIR, I LIKE IT
2020-21 CHRONICLES BASE SHAI GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER
CHRONICLES CARDS HAVE BEEN TAKING A BACK SEAT LATELY TO WANTLIST AND EXTRA SHINY CARD PICKUPS NOW THAT I'VE BEEN GETTING ORGANIZED BUT I STILL LIKE TO PICK UP STAR CARDS HERE AND THERE WHEN I CAN. SHAI GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER IS DEFINITELY A STAR CARD AND WOULD PROBABLY BE A SUPERSTAR IF HE DIDN'T PLAY IN OKLAHOMA. CHECK HIS STATS, HE'S TAKEN IT UP TO A NEW LEVEL IN THE PAST COUPLE YEARS AND PEOPLE MIGHT FINALLY NOTICE IF THE THUNDER MAKE SOME NOISE IF THE PLAYOFFS THIS YEAR
SOME KINDA UPPER DECK HOCKEY INSERT
I HAVE NO IDEA WHO THIS DUDE IS OR EVEN WHAT YEAR IT'S FROM BUT I PASSED BY THIS EXTRA SHINY INSERT CARD A COUPLE DOZEN TIMES ON THE SITE AND FINALLY COULDN'T RESIST. IT'S EVEN SHINIER IN PERSON THAN THE PHOTO WAS ON THE SITE!
2021 ELITE MATT RYAN
CATEGORY - SHINY
IF I CAN'T PASS UP A SHINY HOCKEY INSERT HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PASS UP A SHINY MATTY MELT CARD. CHECK OUT MY BIG GREASY THUMBPRINT AT THE BOTTOM LOL. DON'T STEAL MY BIOMETRICS, BRO
2020-21 MOSAIC CLINT CAPELA
CATEGORY - HAWKS
CLINT, I LOVE YA, BUT OKONGWU NEEDS TO BE STARTING NOW. PLEASE GET TRADED IN THE OFFSEASON
UPDATE - OKONGWU MESSED UP HIS TOE RIGHT AFTER I WROTE THIS. UUUUGGGGGHHHH
UP NEXT: MOAR ODDBALL JUNK

It'd be pretty cool to get Daly to sign one of those 19th hole photos.
I want to say something about the "19th hole" but at this time less is moar
