ONLINE DIMEBOX BLASTER - PART 12

FREE CARD PSA: I GOT A COMMENT ON THE LAST POST FROM SOMEONE WHO HAD FREE CARDS PENDING FROM BASEBALLCARDSTORE DOT CA THAT THEY HADN'T PAID SHIPPING ON YET BEFORE THE FREE CARD THING ENDED. THIS HAPPENED TO ME AS WELL AND I ASKED THEM ABOUT IT THROUGH THE CHAT AND GOT THIS RESPONSE:

I have added back the 5.99 shipping for everyone who still has orders to apply shipping to. Nancy

SO YOU CAN STILL FINISH OFF YOUR ORDERS IF YOU NEED TO DO SO. I HAD 33 CARDS ORDERED, IF YOU HAVE LIKE, FIVE, JUST ASK THROUGH THE CHAT ON SITE AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO WORK IT OUT. I WAS PLANNING TO DO ONLY ONE OF THESE POSTS PER WEEK BUT THIS SEEMED LIKE IT WAS IMPORTANT ENOUGH INFORMATION TO SEND OUT RIGHT AWAY AND BESIDES I'VE BEEN LAZY AND HAVEN'T COMPLETED ANY OF MY DRAFTS THIS WEEK

BACK TO THE CARD POSTING

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IF YOU ONLY LIKE BASEBALL THIS IS NOT A GREAT POST FOR YOU. BUT IF YOU HANG IN THERE YOU'LL GET TO SEE A MIGHTY FEAT

1994-95 ULTRA KHALID REEVES ALL-ROOKIE

CATEGORY - INSERT

FLEER INSERTS FROM THE EARLY TO MID 90S ARE UNIQUELY COMFORTING TO ME FOR SOME REASON. PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY WERE IN JUST ABOUT EVERY PACK. YOU ALWAYS GOT A SURPRISE! THIS IS A NICE LOOKING ONE FROM 94-95 ULTRA. WOOD BORDERS JUST LOOK BETTER ON BASKETALL CARDS

1997-98 LEAF INTERNATIONAL STARS ERIC LINDROS

CATEGORY - SUPERSTAR, ODDBALL

THIS IS A STRANGE ONE - A 1997-98 LEAF HOCKEY FOILBOARD PARALLEL SET  ALSO FEATURING A MAP BACKGROUND PRINTED IN SUPER THICK BLACK INK. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S THE SAME PROCESS USED IN PINNACLE AFICIONADO BUT IT'S VERY SIMILAR. IT ALSO WASN'T AN INSERT IN LEAF PACKS, IT WAS A STANDALONE SET WITH NO INSERTS THAT SKIPPED ALL THE ROOKIES AND SUBSET CARDS. A VERY STRANGE CARD FOR A VERY STRANGE TIME IN THE HOBBY BUT ERIC LINDROS IS ONE OF THOSE 90S HOCKEY STARS THAT IS HARD TO PASS UP

2013 SCORE TONY GONZALEZ

CATEGORY - PLAYER COLLECTION

SHUT UP I DON'T LIKE THE FALCONS. THIS IS A COOL CARD OF A GREAT PLAYER. YOU CAN PROBABLY PINPOINT THE GAME THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN AND MAYBE EVEN THE PLAY WITH A LITTLE WORK THANKS TO THE SCOREBOARD IN THE BACKGROUND. I'M TOO LAZY BUT SOMEONE CAN

2020 OPTIC TREY MANCINI  STAINED GLASS 

CATEGORY - INSERT

PANINI LIKES THESE STAINED GLASS INSERTS. I LIKE THEM TOO

1995 COMIC IMAGES TANK GIRL "WIRED"

CATEGORY - NON-SPORT

I LIKE THE TANK GIRL COMICS WHEN I CAN FIND THEM AND I'VE BEEN MEANING TO RE-WATCH THE MOVIE SOMETIME. ONE OF MY BIG FINDS LAST YEAR WAS A LORI PETTY AUTOGRAPH! I FOUND A BUNCH OF TANK GIRL MOVIE CARDS AND PICKED OUT THE ONE WITH THE COOL COMIC BOOK COVER

1998-99 SKYBOX METAL UNIVERSE ANTONIO DANIELS NEOPHYTES

CATEGORY - INSERT

LATE 90S METAL UNIVERSE ANYTHING IS AWESOME. SOMETIMES THE INSERTS ARE LESS WILD THAN THE ACTUAL BASE CARDS BUT THIS ONE IS NICE AND COLORFUL. ANTONIO DANIELS WAS A PRETTY GOOD ROLE PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE, YOU DON'T PLAY ALMOST 900 GAMES IN THE NBA WITHOUT HAVING SKILLS. THAT VANCOUVER GRIZZLIES LOGO REALLY SCRATCHES THE NOSTALGIA ITCH

1994 UPPER DECK STREET FIGHTER M. BISON

CATEGORY - NON-SPORT, SUPERSTAR

I MISSED OUT ON A NICE ADDAMS FAMILY STICKER OF GOMEZ BUT DISCOVERED THERE WAS A STREET FIGHTER SET. I FOUND THIS CARD WITH A GREAT PHOTO OF RAUL JULIA IN FRONT OF THE STREET FIGHTER 2 BACKGROUND AND HAD TO SNAP IT UP. I WASN'T FAMILIAR WITH THE SET AND WENT DIGGING AROUND ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT WHOEVER PUT THEIR STREET FIGHTER CARDS ON COMC IS CHARGING ABSURD PRICES FOR THE THINGS. I'M PRETTY SURE THE CARD IS MORE CLOSELY WORTH WHAT I PAID FOR IT IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT GETTING RICH QUICK ON MID 90S MOVIE CARDS

1993 COLLECT-A-CARD AMERICAN BANDSTAND DEVO

CATEGORY - NON-SPORT

ARE WE NOT MEN?! THE HOLE IN THE WALL CARD SHOP I LOVE HAS TWO SETS OF THIS AMERICAN BANDSTAND CARD SET COMPLETE IN TINS FOR TEN BUCKS A POP. I HAVE BEEN VERY TEMPTED TO PICK UP A SET MAINLY FOR THIS CARD HERE ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME OTHER GROUPS IN THE SET I LIKE. FINDING JUST THE DEVO HELPS WITH THE TEMPTATION. I STILL DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND HOW DEVO GOT IN A SET WITH ANNETTE FUNICELLO, THE CAPTAIN AND TENNILLE AND THE NITTY GRITTY DIRT BAND BUT I'M NOT COMPLAINING

1991 LIME ROCK 1968 FORD MUSTANG

CATEGORY - NON-SPORT

MAD MAGAZINE WASN'T LIME ROCK'S ONLY CARD SET FOR THEIR BRIEF EXISTENCE, THEY ALSO HAD CARDS OF CARS, CHEERLEADERS AND THE GULF WAR. I LOVE MUSTANGS AND ESPECIALLY THE MUSTANG IN BULLITT. THIS ONE ISN'T GREEN BUT IT'S A 1968 MODEL WHICH IS CLOSE ENOUGH FOR ME. THE PASTEL PURPLE BORDERS ARE VERY CALMING

1992 DONRUSS LENNY DYKSTRA

CATEGORY - WANTLIST

SO. RANDOM 1992 DONRUSS CARD. WHY ON EARTH IS THIS MIXED IN WITH ALL THE RANDOM INSERTS AND NONSENSE. NIGHT OWL IS ALREADY IRRITATED WITH ME FOR SHOWING OFF COOL DODGER CARDS I SNATCHED AWAY AND REMINDING HIM THAT EDDIE ROSARIO EXISTS, AM I TRYING TO RUN OFF ONE OF MY THREE LOYAL  READERS?? NO! I AM DECLARING I AM NOW DONE WITH 1992 DONRUSS FOREVER! THIS IS THE LAST CARD I NEED FROM THIS SET! IT'S COMPLETE! I CAN IGNORE THESE BLUE AND SILVER NIGHTMARES FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE NOW!!! I COMPLETED A REAL SET AND IT FEELS GREAT!
