WE'VE GOT A WIDE VARIETY OF CARDS THIS TIME INCLUDING A BIG SURPRISE AT THE END SO HOLD ON TO YOUR BUTTS
2021 DONRUSS MATT OLSON
CATEGORY - BRAVES
'THIS IS AN A, NOT A BRAVE' DUDE'S SIGNED UNTIL 2030. HE MIGHT BE WITH THE BRAVES LONGER THAN THE A'S ARE IN LAS VEGAS. THIS IS NOT A 'STUCK WITH A BIG PILE OF JD DREW CARDINALS CARDS I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH' SITUATION. PLUS DUDE HAS LIKE 90% OF FREDDIE'S PRODUCTION WITHOUT THE WHOLE CLASHING WITH RONALD OVER PLAYING THE RIGHT WAY NONSENSE. GIVE ME ALL THE OLSONS, GREEN OR BLUE I DON'T CARE
2016 ALLEN & GINTER GRAVITATIONAL WAVES BLACK BORDER MINI
CATEGORY - INSERT, WANTLIST?
THIS IS A WEIRD ONE. I BOUGHT A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FULL SIZE GINTER INSERT, BUT I ENDED UP GETTING THIS ONE. I'M PRETTY SURE I TRIED TO BUY THIS ONE THOUGH, AND WASN'T FAST ENOUGH TO GET IT BEFORE IT WAS SOLD OUT. SO I'M PERFECTLY HAPPY WITH THIS SLIGHT CHANGE IN PLANS. WHO KNOWS, THE OTHER ONE MIGHT SHOW UP IN ONE OF MY MANY PENDING ORDERS EVENTUALLY. EITHER WAY I'M HAPPY
THE IMPORTANT QUESTION IS.... DID IT MAKE THE FRANKENSET?
YES! IT'S NOW THE NEW NEIGHBOR TO BRIAN MCCANN
2006 PANINI STICKERS THRASHERS LOGO
CATEGORY - OTHER TEAM
HOCKEY MAKES ME SAD BUT CARDS MAKE ME HAPPIER AND SHINY STICKERS MAKE ME POSITIVELY GIDDY. THIS ONE IS EXTRA FLASHY. I MISS THAT DUMB BIRD
2004 TOPPS PRISTINE JASON SCHMIDT
CATEGORY - HIGH END
HIGH END BACK WHEN THAT WAS LIKE $150 A BOX, NOT $600 AND UP. SOMETIMES WAY UP. THIS IS BASICALLY FINEST WITH A DIFFERENT LOGO BUT I DIG THE PSEUDO 3-D DESIGN. DON'T FORGET JASON SCHMIDT WAS A BRAVE FOR A HALF A MINUTE AS WELL
1994 CLASSIC TRI-CARDS DARON KIRKREIT, TONY MITCHELL, CHAD OGEA
CATEGORY - INSERT
I LIKE THE CONCEPT OF PERFORATED 3-IN-1 CARDS BUT HATE THE ONES MADE IN THE PAST 40 YEARS ARE ALL INSERTS. THIS ONE IS LIMITED TO 8000 COPIES SO I'M REALLY HAVING TO FIGHT THE URGE TO RIP IT. THESE ARE GOOD PERFORATIONS TOO, IT WOULD BE SO SATISFYING TO FOLD IT OVER AND HEAR THAT SNAP. KIRKREIT AND MITCHELL TOPPED OUT AT TRIPLE-A BUT OGEA PITCHED FOR SIX YEARS IN THE BIGS
1985 FLEER GIANTS LOGO STICKER
CATEGORY - WANTLIST
I'M SERIOUS ABOUT COMPLETING THE FLEER STICKER SETS TO GO ALONG WITH THE FLEER BASE CARD SETS I STILL HAVEN'T COMPLETED YET EITHER. I DON'T THINK I RIPPED ANY 1985 FLEER SO ANY OF THESE I CAN GET IS NICE
2020 BOWMAN STERLING IAN ANDERSON
CATEGORY - HIGH END
I SWEAR TO GOD I THOUGHT THIS WAS A FINEST CARD AND GOT CONFUSED WHEN I SAW IT WAS FROM 2020 BECAUSE IAN'S ROOKIE CARDS ARE FROM 2021. IN MY DEFENSE THE BASEBALL WAS OBSCURING THE BOWMAN AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT FINEST CARDS LOOK LIKE AFTER MAYBE 2007. ALSO I AM VERY UNOBSERVANT. IT'S A NICE LOOKING CARD AT LEAST AND REALLY COULD PASS FOR FINEST
2006-07 UPPER DECK MVP ILYA KOVALCHUK INTERNATIONAL ICONS
CATEGORY - OTHER TEAM (THRSHRS), INSERT
AGAIN, EVERYTHING THRASHERS MAKES ME SAD BUT THIS IS A SUPER NICE LOOKING INSERT. OF ALL THE THRASHERS PLAYERS KOVALCHUK IS THE ONE I'D MOST LIKELY ACTUALLY COLLECT. HE WASN'T A FLOP LIKE STEFAN AND THERE AREN'T BAD MEMORIES LIKE HEATLEY. EITHER HIM OR SOME DUDE LIKE RAY FERRARO
2003 ULTRA LANCE BERKMAN ALL-STAR
CATEGORY - INSERT
THIS IS TECHNICALLY A BASE CARD, BUT IT'S A SHORT PRINT WHICH IS AN INSERT IF WE'RE BEING COMPLETELY HONEST ABOUT IT. IT'S A PRETTY COOL LOOKING CARD TOO. THE 2003 ULTRA SET IS JUST COMPLETELY STUPID, IT'S GOT A TOO-SMALL 200 CARD BASE SET, TWENTY OF THESE SHORT PRINTED ALL-STARS, 20 ROOKIES-THAT-ARE-NOT-ACTUALLY-ROOKIES IN THE 2002 DESIGN, TEN PROSPECTS THAT ARE ALSO NOT ROOKIES BUT ARE AT LEAST THE RIGHT DESIGN, AND FINALLY FIFTEEN MORE PROSPECTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY ROOKIE CARDS THAT ARE ALSO SERIAL NUMBERED TO 1500 AND WERE INSERTED INTO A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PRODUCT. IT'S COMPLETELY FUCKIN STUPID, JUST LOOK AT IT. IT'S A SHAME TOO BECAUSE THE DESIGN THAT YEAR IS VERY UNIQUE
1991 ULTRA KENNY ROGERS
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE KENNY ROGERS FOR WALKING ANDRUW JONES IN THE 1999 NLCS. A SERIES-ENDING SHRIMP IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BASEBALL MOMENTS. THAT'S NOT WHY I BOUGHT THIS CARD THOUGH. THIS WAS A WANTLIST CARD. THIS IS A CARD THAT DID THIS:
BEHOLD A COMPLETE SET OF 1991 FLEER ULTRA. ONLY TOOK ME 32 YEARS AND I STILL NEED TO FINISH THE INSERT SET, STICKER SET AND TRACK DOWN AN UPDATE SET SOMEWHERE. BUT I FINISHED A SET AND THAT'S A GLORIOUS FEELING
UP NEXT - WE DESCEND INTO MADNESS

The amount of card set schemes going on between 2000-08, I don't know how anyone collected.
Freddie has been going 3-for-4 every damn day for three weeks so I barely know what Olson is doing.
i actually collected all that crap and i have no idea how or why now
Freddie is objectively a much better hitter than Olson and maybe a better fielder too, but Matt is going to hit fifty dingers this year and might make a run at 60 if he gets hot so i'm feeling ok
If my life ever slows down... and I can get my stuff together, I'll hook you up with some Olsons (of the green variety). I've got plenty of duplicates. Just need to find time to sit down and sort... which I can't imagine happening anytime soon.
