A BUCK'S WORTH OF QUARTER BOX CARDS

 RIGHT AFTER POSTING THAT IT'S HARD TO FIND QUARTER BOXES I REMEMBERED ABOUT THE PLACE THAT HAS A QUARTER BOX AND RAIDED IT. I'VE GOT WORD CONSTIPATION WRITING MY COMC POSTS AND MY MULTIPLE 50-IMAGE POSTS ARE A BOONDOGGLE SO LET'S SLIP IN A FEW JUNKBOX SHITPOSTS INTO THE DRAFT QUEUE TO KEEP THE CONTENT COMING. LOL JUST KIDDING, THERE'S NO CONTENT TO BE FOUND HERE. I'M STILL POSTING THE JUNK THO - I HAD VERY LITTLE TIME TO SCROUNGE FOR GEMS AND THE PICKS WERE BASED ON INSTANT VIBES. HERE THEY ARE MORE OR LESS IN THE ORDER I PICKED THEM OUT OF THE BOX

1988 TOPPS ERIC DAVIS GLOSSY ALL-STAR


EVERY OTHER CARD IN THE BUNCH WAS CHOSEN WITH THE CRITERIA "YEP, THIS LOOKS COOL" BUT THIS CARD HAD TO BE CHECKED OFF ON MY WANTLIST. THERE WAS A BIG PILE OF THESE GLOSSY RACK PACK ALL-STARS IN THE BOX AND I AM DETERMINED TO COMPLETE THE ENTIRE 1984-1991 RUN OF THIS INSERT BEFORE I DIE. THE FINAL TWENTY (12 OF WHICH ARE FROM 1991) HAVE BEEN REMARKABLY ELUSIVE DESPITE FINDING AT LEAST 4-5 OF THEM IN EVERY JUNK BOX.  ERIC DAVIS IS AN EXCELLENT ONE TO FIND

2021 ELITE EXTRA EDITION SPENCER SCHWELLENBACH

THE BRAVES' SECOND ROUND PICK IN 2021, THE ONLY REASON THIS CAUGHT MY EYE IS BECAUSE HE WAS THE BRAVES' REPRESENTATIVE IN THE FUTURES GAME THIS YEAR. I STILL HAD TO TRIPLE CHECK FOR THE ATLANTA ON THE CARD. AS AN ENJOYER OF BRAVES CARDS, I LIKE SNAGGING PRE-ROOKIE CARDS WHEN I CAN. IT PREVENTS STUFF LIKE NOT GETTING A SPENCER STRIDER CARD UNTIL OVER A YEAR AFTER HIS DEBUT. AND WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH SPENCERS, THEY'RE EVERYWHERE ALL OF A SUDDEN

2022 TOPPS RAISEL IGLESIAS SOME KIND OF PARALLEL


SPEAKING OF BRAVES, I HAVE NO CARDS OF THEIR CLOSER UNLESS ONE OF 'EM IS HIDING IN A TOPPS FLAGSHIP SET. THIS HERE IS THE BEST USE OF A PARALLEL CARD: TO THROW IT IN THE TEAM COLLECTION. RAISEL'S DOING PRETTY WELL THIS YEAR ALTHOUGH THE SAVE OPPORTUNITIES ARE HARD TO COME BY WHEN THE OFFENSE BLASTS 6 HOMERS A GAME AND BLOWS EVERYONE OUT

2022 DONRUSS JUAN SOTO ORANGE (?) SHINY PARALLEL THING


THIS IS THE SAME QUARTER BOX I GOT ALL THOSE CHRONICLES CARDS FROM AND I'M STILL ASTONISHED THAT I'M FINDING JUAN SOTO CARDS THIS CHEAP. I GET THAT INTEREST IN JUAN IS DWINDLING NOW THAT HE'S A PADRE BUT HE'S STILL HITTING THE CRAP OUT OF THE BALL AND THAT RING IS NEVER GOING AWAY. I DON'T EXACTLY KNOW WHAT THE HECK THIS PARALLEL IS BUT IT'S SHINY SO WHY THE HELL NOT

No way I'd pass up a Soto parallel for a quarter. Nice find.
