ONLINE MEGA BOX - PART 26

 WE'RE BACK TO THE GOOFY SHIT. WHILE I HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD ABOUT FOCUSING ON WANTLIST STUFF AND THINGS I ACTUALLY COLLECT LATELY SOMETIMES I GO OFF THE RAILS AND THAT'S OK

2021 UPPER DECK SPACE JAM LEBRON JAMES PROFILE

CATEGORY - SUPERSTAR

LEBRON JAMES IS THE BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER OF THIS CENTURY AND IF YOU GET A CHANCE TO PICK UP A CARD CHEAP YOU DO IT. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THERE ARE RABBITS ON THE CARD YOU GET THE CARD. THIS CARD DESIGN - LIKE THE MOVIE ITSELF - SEEMS A BIT OVERWORKED

2021 UPPER DECK SPACE JAM GOSSAMER

CATEGORY - NON-SPORT

GOSSAMER FITS ON THIS DESIGN MUCH BETTER. I REALLY LIKE THE BUGS BUNNY CARTOONS WITH BUFF, GINGER COUSIN ITT SO THIS WAS AN EASY GET FOR MY MONSTER BINDER. I NEED TO FIND A WITCH HAZEL CARD FROM THE ORIGINAL SPACE JAM SET TO PAIR WITH HIM

2022-23 HOOPS GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO

CATEGORY - SUPERSTAR

I THINK THESE WERE THE FIRST 2022-23 HOOPS I GOT AND GIANNIS IS A PRETTY DANG GOOD FIRST CARD. I LIKE WHEN HOOPS BRINGS BACK THE KEY ELEMENT TO THE DESIGN THAT THEY USED BACK IN THE EARLY DAYS. IT'S UPSIDE DOWN HERE BUT I STILL GET IT 

2022-23 HOOPS JALEN JOHNSON, DEJOUNTE MURRAY

CATEGORY - HAWKS

THIS HAWKS SEASON HAS BEEN A COMPLETE TRAINWRECK BUT AT LEAST THEY MADE THE PLAY-IN TOURNEY AGAIN. AT LKEAST JALEN JOHNSON HAS BROKEN OUT THIS SEASON AND BECOME THE PLAYER JOHN COLLINS ALREADY WAS BEFORE THEY SCREWED UP HIS ROLE WITH CRAPPY ROSTER CONSTRUCTION. DEJOUNTE LOOKS GREAT, AT LEAST WHEN TRAE ISN'T PLAYING, AND I'M SOMEWHAT SURPRISED HE WAS ALREADY TRADED AT THE DEADLINE. PROBABLY A GOOD THING, AS WE'D MOST LIKELY BE IN THE LOTTERY IF HE WAS SHIPPED OFF. HAWKS ARE A DAMN MESS BUT THEY KEEP ENDING UP IN THE (EXPANDED) PLAYOFFS AND THEY HAVE SOME REALLY GOOD YOUNG PLAYERS SO MY ABANDONING THEM FOR THE SPURS WILL BE DELAYED AT LEAST ONE MORE SEASON*

2022 PANINI LEGACY DRAKE LONDON

CATEGORY - ROOKIE

WHY DID I BUY THIS?? I DON'T REALLY COLLECT FALCONS PLAYERS ANYMORE, AT LEAST NOT ONES FROM THIS DECADE, AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY COLLEGE PLAYER EXCEPT GEORGIA BULLDOGS. BUT A WHOLE CRAPLOAD OF LEGACY CARDS GOT POSTED ALL AT ONCE AND I DIG THE WHOLE RETRO VIBE AND I ENDED UP PICKING UP A FEW CARDS. NOW THAT THE HEAD COACH IS LESS OBNOXIOUS (AND MY ALTERNATE TEAM JUST HIRED THE OLD ONE) MAYBE I'LL LISTEN TO A FEW FALCONS GAME THIS FALL AND MAYBE DRAKE WILL DO SOMETHING WITH A COMPETENT QB

2022 PANINI LEGACY MICHAEL VICK LEGENDS

CATEGORY - LEGEND

THIS I KNOW WHY I BOUGHT. I HAVE A BOX SOMEWHERE WITH A BIG PILE OF COOL VICK CARDS I GOT BEFORE *WAVES HANDS AT EVERYTHING* AND I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT ABOUT ADDING TO THAT COLLECTION NOW THAT HIS CARDS ARE NO LONGER PRICEY. I HAVE NOT DONE SO BUT IF I SEE A NICE ONE IN A FALCONS UNI IN A DIME BOX I PICK IT UP. AS LONG AS THERE'S NOTHING BETTER IN THE BOX

1998 METAL UNIVERSE DAMION EASLEY

CATEGORY - WANTLIST

IN 1998 SKYBOX DITCHED THE FANTASY BACKGROUNDS WITH INTRICATE FOIL ETCHING AND SWITCHED TO BACKGROUNDS REPRESENTING THE CITY OF THE PLAYER'S TEAM. DETROIT GOT A TRAINYARD. EVEN IF IT WASN'T ON THE WANTLIST ALREADY I MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN IT JUST BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY

1991 LEAF ROGER SALKELD GOLD LEAF ROOKIES

CATEGORY - INSERT

I'M SLOWLY CHIP-CHIP-CHIPPING AWAY AT THESE GOLD LEAF ROOKIES CARDS AND I THINK I ONLY NEED ABOUT TEN FOR THE ENTIRE 1991 TO 1995 RUN. IN 1996 LEAF RELEGATED THE GOLD LEAF ROOKIES TO THE BASE SET AND THEY WERE DITCHED COMPLETELY IN 1997. THERE'S NOT MANY  MULTI-YEAR RUNS OF INSERTS LIKE THIS FROM THE 80S TO 90S SINCE THINGS GOT WACKY AFTER THE STRIKE. GOLD LEAF ROOKIES, DONRUSS DIAMOND KINGS, TOPPS ALL-STARS, FLEER ALL-STARS, UPPER DECK HEROES... AND? NOT MUCH ELSE? I SHOULD DO SOME RESEARCH ON THIS STUFF NOW THAT I'M ON A MAJOR 90S INSERT KICK

1997 TOPPS FINEST JASON GIAMBI EMBOSSED

 

CATEGORY - SHINY

I'VE BEEN PICKING UP RANDOM NEATO FINEST CARDS HERE AND THERE DESPITE STILL PROCRASTINATING ON GETTING A  HANDLE ON EXACTLY WHAT FINEST CARDS I ALREADY HAVE. THIS ONE WAS AN EASY PICKUP SINCE IT'S 1) AN UNCOMMON SILVER BACKGROUND CARD AND 2) AN EMBOSSED CARD. CRAZY FRACTURED BASE SETS WITH DIFFERENT RARITIES FOR RANDOM CARDS IS A BIG REASON WHY I'VE NEVER BOTHERED TO BUILD ANY OF THESE SETS DESPITE THEM BEING REALLY COOL LOOKING. THE EMBOSSED BIT IS A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO STORE TOO. YOU CAN'T SEE IT FROM THE FRONT IN THIS PICTURE SO I TOOK ONE OF THE BACK TO TRY TO SHOW IT OFF  

I'M NOT SURE HOW SUCCESSFUL I WAS BUT YOU CAN KINDA SEE HIS ARM AND MEATY THIGH. THEY'RE REALLY COOL LOOKING AND ALSO NOT TOO EASY TO FIND. GIAMBI AIN'T MY FAVORITE BUT IT'S STILL SHINY COOL

UP NEXT: I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA, THE DRAFT POSTS HAVE RUN OUT AND IT'S TIME TO DECIDE WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. MAAAYBE MORE OF THIS, MAAAAYBE SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. THE FUTURE IS UNKNOWN

*UNLESS TRAE GETS TRADED, THEN ALL BETS ARE OFF

BIRTHDAY BOOLSHEET BLASTER: PART 13 - FIFTY CENT REJECTS D

THE NEXT BATCH OF FIFTY CENT REJECT CARDS FEATURES NAMES STARTING WITH D AND THERE WAS A JOHNNY DAMON BLOODBATH IN THE FIFTY CENT BOX

THERE WERE WELL OVER A DOZEN DAMONS WHICH SEEMS LIKE A LOT BUT THERE'S ANOTHER PLAYER IN THE BOX THAT BLOWS JOHNNY OUT OF THE WATER. JUST WAIT TILL WE REACH THE H'S. THIS IS STILL A WHO'S WHO OF ODDBALL 00S CARDS FROM THE PRETTY NICE (TRIPLE THREADS, FINEST, 1996 UPPER DECK) TO THE HIDEOUS (PLAY BALL, UD ARTIFACTS, THAT BOWMAN HERITAGE DISASTER). THERE WAS EVEN ONE CARD I NEEDED!

HERE'S A 2007 FLEER TRADITION CARD I INEXPLICABLY HAVE A WANTLIST FOR AND I NEED A JOHNNY. DO I REALLY THOUGH? DO I NEED A JOHNNY DAMON UPPER DECK ERA FLEER TRADITION CARD FOR A SET I WILL NEVER EVER COMPLETE? EH, IT'S ON THE WANTLIST I GUESS

HERE'S A BETTER JOHNNY CARD. A 1996 SPORTFLIX UC3 CARD. GET IT?? YOU SEE THREE??? MOAR PUNS ON CARDS, PLEASE! THIS IS NICE. I PREFER KANSAS CITY ROYALS JOHNNY DAMON TO COMPLAINING HE WAS ARRESTED FOR A DWI BECAUSE HE'S A TRUMP SUPPORTER JOHNNY DAMON

THERE WAS ALSO A HEALTHY PILE OF SHAWON DUNSTON CARDS BUT IT WAS HALF THE NUMBER OF DAMON CARDS AND THEY WERE ALL JUNK WAX-ERA BASE CARDS. EXCEPT THIS FINEST CARD, FINEST IS NEVER JUNK. THIS CARD HAS GONE A LITTLE GREEN BUT YOU DON'T NOTICE AS MUCH WHEN THE BORDER'S GREEN TOO

90S INSERT CARD ALERT!!! HERE'S A 1997 UPPER DECK ROCK SOLID FOUNDATION INSERT OF CARLOS DELGADO WHO WAS ON A TON OF 90S INSERTS. THIS IS A VERY NICE LOOKING SET WITH THE HOLOFOIL AND BLACK MARBLE BORDER AND IS ONE OF THE MORE COMMON INSERTS FROM 1997 SO THEY'RE NOT DIFFICULT TO FIND. CARLOS ALSO HAD A COUPLE TRIPLE THREADS CARDS IN THE BOX, I SHOULD FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH OF THE SET I HAVE ONCE I'M DONE SORTING THESE OUT

THIS LEN DYKSTRA ROOKIE IS A CARD I ACTUALLY NEED, I HAVE 86 DONRUSS IN A BINDER AND EVERYTHING. IT WAS REALLY FUNNY TO SEE THIS CARD MIXED IN WITH ABOUT TEN 2020 DONRUSS RETRO 86 CARDS OF LENNY

BUCKY FUCKIN DENT ON TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CARD WITH THE SAME DAMN PHOTO. THEY'RE FIVE YEARS APART THOUGH AND THE 2016 ARCHIVES CARD IS ZOOMED IN SO THAT MAKES IT OK, RIGHT? NEW BUCKY CARD INCOMING IN 2026

GOOD: A TOMMY DAVIS 2001 SP LEGENDARY CUTS CARD I DIDN'T HAVE. EVEN BETTER: IT WASN'T IN THE PILE OF LEGENDARY CUTS I PICKED UP FROM THE CARD SHOW!

HERE'S A NEW SHINY CARD OF DANNY DUFFY FROM THE 2017 REHASH OF THE 87 TOPPS SET. I CARE NOT FOR THESE BUT I APPRECIATE THE SHINY

RICK DEMPSEY WAS NOT A PLAYER I EXPECTED IN THIS PILE BUT IT'S COOL. I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN INSERT ATT FIRST BUT I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY A 2005 DONRUSS SIGNATURE BASE CARD? I WAS UNAWARE THAT 2005 DONRUSS SIGNATURE EXISTED UNTIL NOW. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY PANINI DESIGN YEARS BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY SHOWED UP. ESPECIALLY THE MINIMALIST BACK WITH TWO TEAM LOGOS AND NOT MUCH ELSE. IT'S SORT OF UNCANNY

ROB DIBBLE MAKES AN APPEARANCE ON DONRUSS' VERSION OF A LEGENDS SET, 2005 DONRUSS GREATS. I DON'T KNOW WHY I NEVER GOT INTO THESE WHEN I WENT ALL GOOFY OVER ARCHIVES, UD LEGENDS AND FLEER GREATS. MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE OF THE BABY BLUE AND SEPIA (??) DESIGN, MAYBE BECAUSE DONRUSS DROPPED DEAD SHORTLY AFTER THIS SET WAS RELEASED

HOORAY! A 2013 1972 MINI CARD! I COLLECT THESE! I'VE COLLECTED ABOUT FOUR OF THE RA DICKEY CARDS ALREADY BUT I LIKE FINDING THESE ANYWAY. DICKEY IS ONE OF A LONG LINE OF VET PITCHERS THE BRAVES PICKED UP OUTTA NOWHERE FOR A SEASON OR TWO. I REALLY HOPE CHRIS SALE THROWS 190 INNINGS LIKE RA DID  

THE LAST CARD OF THE D'S IS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE WHOLE BOX. IN 1997 TOPPS INSERTED INTER-LEAGUE MATCHUP CARDS ON DOUBLE-SIDED FINEST STYLE STOCK WITH PEEL-OFF PRETECTORS AND EVERYTHING. THEY LOOK REALLY GREAT EVEN WITH THAT UGLY BAR OF LEGALESE AND COPYRIGHTS AT THE BOTTOM. THIS ONE HAS BRAVES LEGEND BRIAN JORDAN ON THE FRONT. GUESS WHO'S ON THE BACK?

THAT'S RIGHT, WE'VE GONE FULL CIRCLE WITH YET ANOTHER JOHNNY DAMON CARD. I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THIS IS A BRIAN JORDAN CARD HOWEVER. I NEED TO FIND A FINAL HOME FOR THIS CARD SO I CAN PERFORM THE RARE DOUPLE-PEEL MANUVER. FREE YOUR FINEST, FOLKS!

ONLINE MEGA BOX - PART 12

THIS BATCH IS ALL OVER THE MAP, LET'S JUST GET STARTED

1992 FLEER ULTRA REGGIE SANDERS ALL-ROOKIE TEAM

CATEGORY - INSERT

OH FLEER ULTRA INSERTS HOW I LOVE YOU SO. THE UPGRADE FROM 1991 ULTRA TO 1992 IS ONE OF THE LARGEST IN BASEBALL CARD HISTORY AND THESE ALL-ROOKIE TEAM CARDS ARE THE BEST LOOKING IN THE SET. REGGIE SANDERS IS A PROUD BRAVES LEGEND TOO, IT'S NOT OFTEN YOU HAVE THE WORST SEASON OF YOUR CAREER THEY YEAR BEFORE WINNING A WORLD SERIES

1994 DONRUSS KEVIN APPIER, ROBERTO KELLY, DELINO DESHIELDS HOLOFOIL PARALLEL THING

CATEGORY - WANTLIST

IT'S SLOW GOING BUT I AM STILL MAKING PROGRESS ON THIS 94 DONRUSS SHINY PARALLEL. ROBERTO KELLY IS ANOTHER FORMER BRAVE AS WELL! AND IF I ASSERTED THAT APPIER AND DESHIELDS PLAYED A SEASON IN ATLANTA IN THE EARLY 00'S I BET YOU'D HAVE TO LOOK IT UP BEFORE YOU WERE CERTAIN I WAS BULLSHITTING YOU

2021 DONRUSS MAX FRIED

CATEGORY - BRAVES

DID ANOTHER OOPS AND BOUGHT THE SAME CARD TWICE AGAIN. THIS WORKED OUT TO MY ADVANTAGE AS THE PREVIOUS FRIED CARD WAS INVOLVED IN A CATASTROPHE INVOLVING TWO COMPLETELY FULL CUPS OF WATER AND COFFEE AND A DESK LAMP THAT SPONTANEOUSLY ATTACKED ME. NO I DON'T WISH TO EXPLAIN IN DETAIL AT THIS TIME, I NEED A FEW YEARS OF THERAPY FIRST. DON'T WORRY, I DIDN'T HAVE TO THROW AWAY THE OTHER FRIED CARD UNLIKE SOME OTHER UNLUCKY VICTIMS. THIS IS AT LEAST A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW OFF THE INCREDIBLY BORING DONRUSS BACKS

2022 DONRUSS MAX FRIED

CATEGORY - BRAVES

ANOTHER MAX, THIS ONE I DON'T ALREADY HAVE. THIS DESIGN CONFUSES MY BRAIN BUT I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE 3-D EFFECT POPS A LOT HARDER ON THE HOLOFOIL PARALLELS. THANKFULLY THE PARALLELS SEEM TO BE MUCH EASIER TO FIND THAN THE BASE CARDS THANKS TO THE SHEER NUMBER OF THEM

2022 DONRUSS FREDDIE FREEMAN

CATEGORY - BRAVES

FREDERICK STILL HAS AN ATLANTA TEAM DESIGNATION SO I GUESS I NEED IT. LEST YOU THINK I BECAME BITTER ABOUT HIM DEFECTING TO THE DODGERS, I WAS KINDA SICK OF HIS ANTICS A FEW YEARS BEFORE HIS CONTRACT RAN OUT. I'VE BEEN BITTER FOR A LONG TIME

2022 BOWMAN RONALD ACUÑA JR.

CATEGORY - RONALD

ANOTHER CARD I'VE BOUGHT AT LEAST TWICE FROM THIS WEBSITE BUT THIS ONE I BOUGHT AGAIN ON PURPOSE. IF I SEE A RONALD FOR UNDER A BUCK I'M BUYING IT. IF I END UP WITH ENOUGH BOWMAN ACUÑA CARDS TO WALLPAPER MY ENTIRE HOUSE THEN I GUESS IT'S TIME TO REDECORATE THEN

2000 FINEST MANNY RAMIREZ

CATEGORY - SHINY

I'M SURE YOU WILL ALL BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT YOU WILL NOT SEE ANOTHER BARVE IN THESE POSTS FOR ANOTHER 26 CARDS. I KNOW I'VE OVERLOADED YOU A BIT LATELY. MANNY RAMIREZ CARDS WERE PLENTIFUL ON THE SITE AND I HAPPILY PICKED UP THIS FINEST. I LOVE THE GIANT BASEBALL DESIGN OF THIS SET, THE INTRICATE ETCHING LOOKS SO DAMN GOOD

1998-99 UD CHOICE WAYNE GRETZKY GM'S CHOICE

CATEGORY - SUPERSTAR, PLAYER COLLECTION

I'VE BEEN PICKING UP RANDOM GRETZKY CARDS LIKE MAD ON THIS SITE AND THIS ONE CAN TECHNICALLY FIT INTO THE YZERMAN COLLECTION. PATRICK ROY AND STEVE YZERMAN WERE APPARENTLY THE SPOKESMEN FOR THIS UD CHOICE SET AND THEY BOTH GOT A SUBSET WHERE THEY COULD BE THE GM AND CHOOSE A TEAM. BOTH CHOSE GRETZKY OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE WHY WOULDN'T YOU BUT WHILE YZERMAN CHOSE ROY FOR HIS TEAM, ROY DID NOT SELECT STEVE. SUCH DISRESPECT. YZERMAN ACTUALLY IS THE GM OF THE RED WINGS NOW WHO UH HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE PLAYOFFS SINCE OBAMA WAS PRESIDENT. MAYBE PATRICK KNEW SOMETHING

1995-96 HOOPS SHAWN BRADLEY CLOCK PARTY

CATEGORY - INSERT

95-96 HOOPS WAS ANOTHER SET I BOUGHT A SHITLOAD OF AT THE TIME (THERE'S A LOT OF THESE AREN'T THERE) THANKS TO THERE BEING A COOL PROTO-BLASTER BOX AVAILABLE WITH NOT OF INSERTS AND A GIGANTIC GRANT HILL BOX TOPPER. THE INSERTS WERE COMPLETELY WILD TOO, JUST TAKE A GANDER AT THESE DESIGNS. EVERY INSERT SET IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FLAVOR OF INSANE. THE BLOCK PARTY CARDS HAD THE NEON LAVA LAMP THEME GOING PRETTY HARD. THIS IS THE MOST PSYCHEDELIC SHAWN BRADLEY HAS EVER BEEN

EVEN THE BACKS ARE BLINDING. I LOVE THIS NONSENSE SO MUCH

1993-94 BOBBY CLARKE DYNASTY EMERALD ICE

CATEGORY - UMMM

SO UHHH I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHY I GOT THIS CARD? MAYBE I THOUGHT IT WAS AN INSERT? IT'S NOT. MAYBE I THOUGHT THE EMERALD PARALLEL MEANT IT WAS HOLOFOIL? IT'S NOT, THE EMERALD BIT IS A TINY STAMP OF GREEN FOIL AND THE INK IS JUST REALLY BRIGHT AND DAY-GLO. I DON'T COLLECT PARKHURST CARDS, I DON'T COLLECT BOBBY CLARKE (ALTHOUGH I HAVE A COUPLE COOL VINTAGE CARDS OF HIM) SO THIS CARD DOES NOT FIT ANYTHING I AM TRYING TO DO WITH MY LIFE. MY GUESS IS IN THE HEAT OF BATTLE TRYING TO ADD NEW CARDS TO MY CART BEFORE THEY ALL GOT SNATCHED UP I SAW THIS ONE AND THOUGHT IT WAS COOL AND JUST MADE A SNAP DECISION. IT HAPPENS, THIS WON'T BE THE LAST INEXPLICABLE CARD I PICK UP. MAYBE NOT EVEN FROM THIS BOX! 

OH, AND IF YOU WERE THINKING THAT WAS A REALLY BAD DRAWING OF BOBBY ON THE FRONT OF THE CARD YOU CAN SEE FROM THE BACK THAT NO, HE REALLY DOES JUST LOOK LIKE THAT

 UP NEXT: SHINIES. SUPER EXTRA SHINIES. YOU CAN'T HANDLE ALL THIS SHINY SO BEWARE. OH LAWD, THE SHINY IS COMIN'

BIRTHDAY BOOLSHEET BLASTER: PART 7 - TIGERS

BACK TO THE JUNK BOX AFTER LIFE GOT DERAILED A SMIDGE. THE TIGERS PILE IS PRETTY BIG AT 92 CARDS TOTAL

THE TRADED SET GIVES US SOME PRETTY GOOD TIGERS. BILL MADLOCK IS A VERY UNDERRATED PLAYER AND WAS THE LAST CARD I NEEDED FOR MY 1992 KELLOGG'S SET. EMPHASIS ON WAS - MY COMC SHIPMENT IS SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE ON JANUARY 3RD. HENNEMAN AND ROBINSON ARE DECENT PITCHERS AND THAT MATT NOKES CARD HAS TO BE WORTH A BUNCH NOW, RIGHT? BECKETT'S HOT LIST WOULDN'T LIE TO ME

1987 TOPPS TRADED COUNT: 11/132

THE TIGERS ALSO ADD A BIG CHUNK TO MY SECOND 2002 SET, PROBABLY BECAUSE THERE WEREN'T MANY STARS TO PICK OUT. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE JOSE LIMA, ASTROS RADIO GUY STEVE SPARKS AND MANAGER PHIL GARNER 

2002 TOPPS COUNT: 63/718

THERE WERE A COUPLE SURPRISES IN THERE TOO. FIRST HERE'S A SHINY GOLD DAMION EASLEY

CHECK OUT THE PLACEMENT ON THAT SERIAL NUMBER. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE DESIGNERS KNEW TO SAVE A BUNCH OF DEAD SPACE ON EACH CARD FOR SERIAL NUMBERING, RELICS AND AUTOGRAPHS

THE OTHER BIG SURPRISE IS THIS FACTORY SET EXCLUSIVE DRAFT PICK CARD OF SCOTT MOORE. THIS ADDS TO MY SUSPICION THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THIS BOX BOUGHT A FACTORY SET TO STRIP FOR PARTS. WE'LL HAVE TO BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THE OTHER FOUR DRAFT CARDS FROM THIS SET AS NONE OF THE PLAYERS PANNED OUT ENOUGH TO BE CHERRY PICKED OUT OF THE BOX

CECIL FIELDER JUST CHILLIN WHILE THE SAN DIEGO CHICKEN WORSHIPS AT HIS FEET. FIND ME A BETTER CARD PRINTED THIS YEAR, I DARE YOU

I WAS NOT A FAN OF TOPPS KIDS WHEN IT CAME OUT BUT I'VE COME AROUND ON IT. IT'S NICELY GOOFY

YEAAAAAH SHINIES! LOVE FINDING THE PACIFIC PRISM CARDS

TONY CLARK ON THE MLB SHOWDOWN COMMON CARD BEFORE HE STARTED WITH ALL THE UNION BUSINESS

MOAR PACIFIC! THE 2001 FLAGSHIP DESIGN IS PRETTY OK BUT I BOUGHT WAY MORE OF THE NFL VERSION BACK IN THE DAY CHASING MICHAEL VICK CARDS

SOME MORE JUNKBOX GOLD WITH A 1985 DONRUSS CARD OF DARRELL EVANS.  A GUY WITH 400 HOMERS AND 1600 WALKS WOULD BE WAY MORE RESPECTED IN TODAY'S GAME. DARRELL ALSO BOOKENDED HIS CAREER IN ATLANTA

CROWN CARD OF DEAN PALMER. GOTTA SHOW OFF ALL THE PACIFIC

70S CARD IN THE JUNK BOX! I LOVE 1978 TOPPS BUT BECAUSE I LOVED IT SO MUCH I COMPLETED THE SET A FEW YEARS AGO AND NOW WHEN I SEE ONE I AUTOMATICALLY THINK 'GOT IT' AND MOVE ON LOOKING FOR 77S AND 75S. I AM TRYING TO BREAK OUT OF THIS HABIT AND APPRECIATE THE NICE CARDS FROM SETS I HAVE LIKE THIS ONE WITH A VERY HAPPY AURELIO RODRIGUEZ

SKYBOX MOLTEN METAL IS A WEIRD ONE BECAUSE IT WAS A HIGHER-END PRODUCT BUT LOOKED NOTHING LIKE THE COOL METAL UNIVERSE CARDS SO IT WAS A BIT OF A LETDOWN. UNLESS YOU PULLED ONE OF THE ACTUAL METAL CARDS OUT OF A PACK, WHICH WERE REALLY COOL. THESE CARDS ARE PRETTY COMMON IN DISCARDED BOXES OF TRASH SINCE THEY WERE HEAVILY RIPPED FOR THE INSERTS

DEAN MAKES ANOTHER APPEARANCE ON A FINEST CARD. I REALLY LIKED THIS DESIGN AND BOUGHT A LOT OF IT AND AM STILL NOT ANYWHERE CLOSE TO EVEN BEGINNING TO ATTEMPT TO COLLECT THIS SET. GETTING MY FINEST IN ORDER NEEDS TO BE A 2024 COLLECTING GOAL

YOU MAY BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT I HAVE DECIDED TO NOT THROW ALL THE JUNK IN THE TRASH AND HAVE INSTEAD PUT THEM AWAY BACK IN THE BOX SO THEY DON'T CAUSE ANY NEW CATASTROPHES. SADLY ONCE AGAIN I NEED NONE OF THESE CARDS. HOWEVER I FOUND A FEW MORE SECOND CHANCE GOODIES TO SHOW OFF

A 1990 UPPER DECK CARD OF ALAN TRAMMELL MADE THE JUNK PILE BECAUSE AS MUCH AS MY BRAIN BLIPS BY 1978 TOPPS NOW IT DOESN'T EVEN PERCIEVE 1990 UD ANYMORE, A TONY CLARK ULTRA CARD TO REPLACE MY CURRENT WATERLOGGED ONE, JIM WALEWANDER, FOREVER THE DEAD MILKMEN GUY THANKS TO THE BACK OF A SCORE CARD AND THE LATE GREAT WILLIE HERNANDEZ. YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND GEMS IF YOU JUST KEEP DIGGING
