TOP THIRTY CARDS FROM NIGHT OWL'S JUNK DUMP GIVEAWAY BOX - #20-11

ALL RIGHTY TIME FOR THE FORGOTTEN MIDDLE CHILDREN OF MY NIGHT OWL CARDS TOP THIRTY LIST WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN POSTED LIKE TWO MONTHS AGO BUT THEN STUFF HAPPENED AND IT WAS THE HOLIDAYS AND NOW NONE OF YOU EVEN REMEMBER THE OTHER CARDS BUT I'VE UPLOADED THE IMAGES AND I'M PROBABLY RUNNING OUT OF CLOUD SPACE SO I BETTER USE WHAT I HAVE AND CAN YOU TELL I DON'T KNOW HOW TO START THIS POST

#20 - 2014 WACKY PACKAGES THE VAMPIRE DAIRIES

I'LL NEVER SERIOUSLY COLLECT WACKY PACKAGES BUT I LOVE VAMPIRES AND THIS IS A FIRST-CLASS PUN. MOVE OVER, COUNT DUCKULA

#19 - 1978 KELLOGG'S GEORGE FOSTER

WHEN I REQUESTED A GIVEAWAY BOX, I KNEW GREG WASN'T GOING TO INCLUDE THE JUNKIEST OF THE JUNK, BUT I ABSOLUTELY DID NOT EXPECT VINTAGE KELLOGG'S CARDS OF MVP WINNERS EITHER. I HAD A VERY GOOD 2022 PICKING UP A TON OF OLD KELLOGG'S CARDS AND I HOPE TO CONTINUE THIS TREND IN 2023

#18 - 1981 BASEBALL IMMORTALS BILL KLEM

THIS IS BEING POSTED EITHER RIGHT BEFORE OR RIGHT AFTER A HUGE POST ON BASEBALL IMMORTALS CARDS SO I'LL LET THAT POST EXPOUND UPON THE SET. LONG STORY SHORT I LOVE THIS SET AND I AM VERY BELATEDLY TRYING TO BUILD IT BECAUSE I WAS NEVER ABLE TO BUY THE FACTORY SET FROM A MAGAZINE AD WHEN I WAS A KID. ALSO, THIS PICTURE OF BILL KLEM IS FANTASTIC

#17 - 2021 ALLEN & GINTER JUAN SOTO

I'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS MANY, MANY TIMES, BUT AFTER COMLETING THE ALLEN AND GINTER SET EVERY YEAR FOR LIKE A DECADE, I CAN BARELY SCRAPE TOGETHER ENOUGH TO FILL A PAGE NOWADAYS. THIS WAS ONE OF MY FIRST GINTER CARDS FROM 2021, AND ONE OF THE FEW JUAN SOTO CARDS I HAVE PERIOD SO IT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. THAT'S A PRETTY COOL LOGO ON THE CAP TOO 

#16 - 2011 TOPPS LINEAGE ANDRE DAWSON

LINEAGE REALLY PISSED ME OFF IN 2011 AND I'M NOT EVEN SURE WHY ANYMORE. I KNOW I SHOULD HOLD A GRUDGE BUT THAT'S REALLY HARD TO DO WITH GORGEOUS CARDS LIKE THIS. HAWK + EXPOS + ROOKIE CUP = 😍

#15 - 2022 TOPPS JONAH HEIM

IT TOOK UNTIL DECEMBER TO BREAK SINGLE DIGITS IN MY 2022 TOPPS FLAGSHIP COLLECTION BUT THAT DIDN'T MATTER BECAUSE I GOT PROBABLY THE BEST CARD IN THE SET RIGHT HERE

#14 - 2021 ALLEN & GINTER YOGI BERRA

MOARER 2021 ALLEN AND GINTER! AND I ACTUALLY COLLECT THIS PLAYER ON PURPOSE! VERY VERY NICE

*****BONUS*****

FOR SOME REASON I ACCIDENTALLY UPLOADED THE UNCROPPED SCAN OF THE PAST 9 CARDS SO YOU GET AN EXTRA BEHIND THE SCENE LOOK AT MY BLOGGERY PROCESS

#13 - 1970 TOPPS LUIS APARICIO

ALONG WITH THE FOSTER THIS CARD WAS THE HOLY SHIT MOMENT WHERE I TRULY UNDERSTOOD HOW DAMN GOOD THIS BOX WAS. VINTAGE HALL OF FAMERS ARE MOST DEFINITELY NOT JUNK. FOR SOME REASON THIS CARD SEEMS VERY ICONIC TO ME AND I'M NOT SURE WHY. I THINK IT JUST IMPRINTED ON ME AS A CHILD THAT THIS WAS A COOL CARD AND IT STUCK

#12 (TIE) - 2010 TOPPS EDDIE MATHEWS & CHIPPER JONES DIAMOND DUOS

#12 (TIE) - 2011 TOPPS JASON HEYWARD & FREDDIE FREEMAN DIAMOND DUOS

CHEATING, BUT HOW DO YOU CHOOSE BETWEEN THESE TWO. I HAVE A GREAT NEED FOR AN UPDATED CARD WITH EDDIE, CHIPPER AND AUSTIN RILEY ON IT. I ALSO APPRECIATE THE HEYWARD/FREEMAN CARD'S CONTIGUOUS BACKGROUND THAT LOOKS LIKE FREDDIE IS RUNNING AWAY FROM JASON IN TERROR. JASON JUST CAUGHT UP TO YOU IN L.A., BETTER KEEP RUNNING FREDDIE 

#11 - 2016 ALLEN & GINTER MOOSE MASCOTS IN THE WILD

MOOOOOOOOOOOOSE 

I HAD THIS CARD ALREADY BUT WHO CARES BECAUSE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE

THESE CARDS WERE SO GOOD, JUST IMAGINE WHAT THE TOP TEN COULD BE! IMAGINE HARD YOU SAW HOW LONG IT TOOK THIS POST TO COME OUT

Cool Stuff #1 - Beautiful Auto

HEY, EVERYTHING'S GREAT.

BRAVES WON A GAME AND ACUÑA SIGNED A BIG DEAL

TRAE YOUNG KICKING ASS YET STILL GETTING THE HAWKS LOTS OF PING PONG BALLS

UNITED STILL HAS AN ALMIRON AND TATA HANGOVER BUT ARSENAL IS SOMEHOW IN THIRD PLACE???

WATCHED THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI TODAY, WHO DOESN'T LOVE THAT MOVIE

BEEN READING LOTS OF COMICS, TRY THIS ONE, IT'S FUN

STRESS LEVELS ARE DOWN, NOT SURE IF IT'S BECAUSE MY MENTAL STATE HAS COMPLETELY COLLAPSED AND I JUST DON'T CARE ANYMORE, BUT WHATEVER IT FEELS FANTASTIC

AND I HAVE SOMEHOW ACQUIRED A DON MOSSI AUTOGRAPH CARD HOLY CRAP

 LOOKIT THAT GORGEOUS PUSS. AND THAT LOVELY HANDWRITING. YOU CAN READ EVERY LETTER AND HE DOTTED THE I, NOT THE EAR

LIKE MOST OF MY SPECTACULAR PICKUPS THIS ONE COMPLETELY BLINDSIDED ME. AT A RECENT LOCAL CARD SHOW I SHOWED UP SUPER LATE (AN HOUR BEFORE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO END, HOW GAUCHE) AND PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE WAS ALREADY PACKED UP WHEN I WALKED IN. I LOOKED HALFHEARTEDLY AT SOME VINTAGE STUFF I'VE PICKED OVER A THOUSAND TIMES, THEN PARKED IN FRONT OF SOME POOR BASTARD'S DIME BOX FOR 45 MINUTES WHILE EVERYONE ELSE CLEARED OUT. DROPPED A HAMILTON ON SOME TEN CENT GOODIES [foreshadowing] AND ON MY WAY OUT THE DOOR THE VINTAGE GUY WAS STILL SET UP SO I CLEANED HIM OUT OF 25-CENT KELLOGG'S AS ONE DOES. WENT TO PAY AND DON LEAPT OUT OF A STACK OF AUTOGRAPH CARDS AND TACKLED MY ASS, DEMANDING THAT I TAKE HIM HOME. HOW COULD I SAY NO TO THAT SWEET SMILING FACE

THIS IS MY FAVORITE INDIANS CARD OF DON SO REALLY PICKING THIS UP WAS A NO BRAINER AND I'M GLAD THAT STACK OF AUTOS ACCOSTED ME WHEN IT DID. FOR FUTURE REFERENCE, MY FAVORITE TIGERS MOSSI IS THE '64 TOPPS*, MY FAVORITE ATHLETICS MOSSI IS THE '66 TOPPS AND I AM ETERNALLY HEARTBROKEN THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A WHITE SOX CARD OF DON. CHECK OUT THAT STEALTH PERFECT GAME COMMEMORATED WITH A CARTOON ON THE BACK. FANTASTIC

EVEN BETTER IS I GOT MY SHIT TOGETHER FINALLY AND HAVE A FOLDER FULL OF SCANS ACTUALLY SORTED AND ORGANIZED AND READY TO POST AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE. CHECK OUT SOME SPOILERS FOR FUTURE POSTS IN THE IMAGE ABOVE. FOR THE REST OF THE SUMMER MY LACK OF POSTS IS 100% DUE TO MY LAZINESS SO YELL AT ME WHEN YOU'RE READY FOR MORE TRASH TRADING CARD CONTENT. PLAY BALL!

*YOU'D THINK IT WOULD BE THE '60 TOPPS BUT NOPE. '64
