NO DILLYDALLYING THIS TIME, FULL SPEED AHEAD TO JUNKY CARDS
2020 BIG LEAGUE NL DOUBLES LEADERS
CATEGORY - BRAVES
RONALD ACUÑA CARDS ARE DIFFICULT RIGHT NOW BUT I CONSIDER OZZIE ALBIES TO BASICALLY BE ACUÑA LITE SO I GET THE SAME AMOUNT OF HAPPINESS WHEN I FIND ONE OF HIS CARDS. I HAVE NEVER BEEN A HUGE FAN OF BIG LEAGUE BUT I AM STILL OUTRAGED BY FANATOPPS' IMMENSE BUNGLING OF THIS YEAR'S SET. THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS REALLY DID CAUSE ME TO START MISSING OPENING DAY
2022 TOPPS IAN ANDERSON
CATEGORY - BRAVES
I HAVE BEEN NEGLECTING MY TOPPS BRAVES TEAM SETS FOR YEARS AND THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO START CATCHING UP. IT'S ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY TO JUST BUY THE DAMN TEAM SETS BUT THAT WOULD BE EASY AND CHEAPER
2022 ALLEN & GINTER JORGE SOLER
CATEGORY - BRAVES
ONE SWING AND I LOVE JORGE FOREVER. THIS CARD SHOULD'VE BEEN A BRAVES CARD BUT WHATEVER. I THINK THIS IS A SHORT PRINT AS WELL? I DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW GINTER WORKS ANYMORE AND THE LCS NO LONGER HAS ANY IN THE DIME BOX AND THESE CARDS GET SNAPPED UP IMMEDIATELY ON THE WEBSITE SO I'M HAPPY WITH WHAT I CAN GET
2021 CHRONICLES PLAYBOOK DRAFT PICKS AZEEZ OJULARI
CATEGORY - OTHER TEAM (BULLDOGS), CHRONICLES
LOVE THE DAWGS IN THE GEORGIA UNIS. AZEEZ GOT DRAFTED BY THE GIANTS AND LOOKS LIKE HE'S DOING WELL IN THE NFL. THIS IS A SURPRISE CHRONICLES CARD. CHRONICLES MIGHT NEED TO BE ITS OWN CATEGORY, I KEEP COMPULSIVELY SNAPPING THEM UP AND IT DOESN'T REALLY FIT WANTLIST OR HIGH END
1994 MICKEY MANTLE'S LONG SHOTS ALBERT BELLE
CATEGORY - INSERT, SUPERSTAR
UPPER DECK INSERTS GOT WEIRD IN 1994 BUT I'M NOT PASSING ON SOMETHING THIS SHINY. I DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND THE THEME OF THE SET. WHY ARE THEY LONG SHOTS, WHY IS MICKEY INVOLVED. NICE LOOKING CARD THO. AND I'M DECLARING ALBERT A SUPERSTAR, DUDE MASHED AND IT'S NOT HIS FAULT THE WRITERS DICK ALLEN'D HIM
1993 SCORE BOYS OF SUMMER DAVID HULSE
I HAVE NONE OF THESE CARDS WHICH ISN'T SURPRISING SINCE I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN A PACK OF 1993 SCORE, LET ALONE THE SUPER PACKS THESE WERE INSERTED INTO. IT'S A VERY STRIKING CARD AND I WISH I HAD THE KLESKO INSTEAD OF THIS DUDE BUT A HULSE IN THE HAND IS WORTH TWO RYANS ON COMC OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT
2000 UPPER DECK LEGENDS GREG MADDUX 20TH CENTURY LEGENDS
CATEGORY - BRAVES
THE FOLLOWUP TO UPPER DECK'S FIRST LEGENDS SET IS INFERIOR TO THE ORIGINAL DESPITE BEING ON FULL FOILBOARD STOCK. OR MAYBE BECAUSE? I SAW GREG MADDUX INSERTY LOOKING THING AND YELLED GIBE NOW. THIS WAS IN FACT A SUBSET CARD BUT WHO CARES. THIS DESIGN REMINDS ME A LOT OF THE FUTURE DOCUMENTARY DISASTER, UD APPARENTLY HAD IDEAS FOR A SPREADSHEET LOOKING CARD FOR A LONG TIME
1991 PEPSI RED SOX JOHN MARZANO
CATEGORY - ODDBALL
WEIRD REGIONAL FOOD ODDBALLS I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING I NEED IN MY SWEATY HANDS. BEING A COKE FAN WHO HAS NEVER STEPPED FOOT IN NEW ENGLAND THIS SET COMPLETELY PASSED ME BY. THIS CARD LOOKED VERY SCORE-LIKE AND THEN I CHECKED THE BACK
OH HELL YEAH THAT'S STRAIGHT UP 1990 SCORE. I'M MAKING A LOT OF PROGRESS ON MY SCORE COMPLETIONIST PROJECT I NEVER KNOW I WAS WORKING ON WITH THIS LOT
2022 HERITAGE KYLE MULLER RC
CATEGORY - BRAVES
MY TOPPS HERITAGE TEAM SETS HAVE BEEN HORRIBLY NEGLECTED AS WELL. WHY AM I BUILDING ALL THESE TEAM SETS
2022 BOWMAN CHROME RODOLFO CASTRO RC
CATEGORY - INSERT, VAPORWAVE
I DO NOT KNOW WHO RODOLFO CASTRO IS AND I ACTIVELY DISLIKE BOWMAN CHROME BUT A SHINY VAPORWAVE CARD? YES, HA HA HA, YES! RODOLFO IS YOUNG AND GETTING SOME PLAYING TIME FOR PITTSBURGH, SO YEAH, NICE PICKUP IF I SAY SO MYSELF
UP NEXT - MOAR BARVES, MOAR CHROME AND SOME GOLD

Belle totally got Dick Allen'd! Love that you turned the late and great Mr. Allen into a verb.
2023 Big League is also a good example of one of my least favorite parts of Twitter/X, in which you say something that's blatantly obvious, like "Big League has turned to crap this year" and you get several "yeah buts". That is comparable to driving on the thruway, stopping at a rest stop and realizing, "yikes I'm driving with THESE people?"
I love those Score Boys of Summer cards. The first time I saw one about seven years ago, I immediately snapped up the first Dodger I could find.
Not a Red Sox fan, but liked that Pepsi card the most.
