LOL I WROTE THIS OUT AND FORGOT TO POST IT SO NOW EVERYTHING'S OUT OF ORDER. OH WELL AT LEAST IT'S ALREADY WROTE
2003 TOPPS BOBBY COX
CATEGORY - BRAVES, WANTLIST
I'D BE HAPPY WITH A BOBBY COX CARD FROM MY FAVORITE TOPPS DESIGN OF THE 00S IN ANY CASE BUT THIS ONE IS AN ACTUAL WANTLIST NEED. I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT IS FOR THE SET OR THE TEAM SET BUT IT'S ON ONE OF THEM. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M CHECKING THE TEAM BINDER NOW HOLD UP
NOPE IT'S FOR THE SET SET, NOT THE TEAM SET. ASSUMING I HAVEN'T ALREADY GOTTEN THREE OTHER COPIES OF THE CARD THAT I'VE BEEN TOO LAZY TO PUT AWAY. I ALSO DISCOVERED I'M MISSING A TON FROM MY 2002 BRAVES TEAM SET WHICH MAKES ME EXCITED FOR A FUTURE BIRTHDAY BULLSHIT BLASTER POST
1997-98 STADIUM CLUB STACEY AUGMON
CATEGORY - HAWKS
HE'S IN A BLAZERS UNI BUT AUGMON IS FOREVER A HAWK IN MY HEART. LATE 90S STADIUM CLUB CARDS LOOK AWESOME WITH THE HOLOFOIL AND THICK CARD STOCK AND FULL BLEED BORDERS AND SUPER GLOSSY FINISH THAT IS GOOD ABOUT NOT BRICKING. THIS WAS ONE OF MANY PICKUPS WHERE I SAW IT AND JUST WENT FOR IT WITHOUT CONFIRMING THAT I DIDN'T ALREADY HAVE A COPY.I AM BEING MUCH MORE CAREFUL ON MY DOLLAR CARD PICKUPS
1989 PACIFIC LEGENDS SERIES 2 ROGER CRAIG, PHIL CAVARRETTA, RICH REESE, SMOKY BURGESS, EWELL BLACKWELL
CATEGORY - WANTLIST
I KNOCKED OUT A BIG CHUNK OFF MY PACIFIC LEGENDS WANTLIST AND MIGHT HAVE FUCKED AROUND AND COMPLETED SERIES ONE. SERIES TWO I AM NOT NEARLY AS CLOSE TO FINISHING BUT HERE'S 4.5% OF THE SET. HERE'S A SENTENCE FOR EACH CARD:
- ROGER CRAIG IS CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH A FEW TEAMS BUT THE CINCINNATI REDS IS NOT ONE USUALLY I THINK OF
- PHIL'S NAME IS MISSPELLED ON THIS CARD, VERY DISRESPECTFUL FOR AN MVP
- RICH REESE WAS THE VICTIM FOR NOLAN RYAN'S RECORD BREAKING STRIKEOUT IN 1973 AND I HAD TO LOOK THIS UP BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT RICH REESE
- I LIKED PICKING UP SMOKY BURGESS CARDS WHEN I WAS A KID AND AN ASSHOLE WHO WORKED AT A CARD SHOP MADE FUN OF ME WHEN I BOUGHT HIS 1959 CARD WHICH IS AN AWESOME CARD ACTUALLY
- EWELL BLACKWELL WAS A REALLY GOOD PITCHER WHO WOULD HAVE WON A CY YOUNG AWARD IN 1947 IF IT HAD EXISTED, AND ALSO HAD THE SAME FIRST NAME AS A FRIEND WHO LIVED DOWN THE STREET
1998 PACIFIC REVOLUTION JASON KENDALL
CATEGORY - SHINY
I HAVE THROWN THE HIGH-END CATEGORY OUT THE WINDOW BECAUSE PRETTY MUCH ALL THE CARDS THAT FIT I BOUGHT FOR THEIR SHINY IF I'M BEING HONEST. HIGH-END IN THE 90S DOES NOT MEAN THE SAME THING AS HIGH-END IN THE 2010S AND BEYOND ANYWAY. I TRIED TO BUY ALL THE REVOLUTION CARDS I COULD FIND BUT THESE THINGS GOT SNATCHED UP QUICK. I'M FORTUNATE TO HAVE GOTTEN KENDALL. THIS THING IS BLINDING IN PERSON, PACIFIC CARDS ARE SOOO GOOD
1992 ACTION PACKED MINNIE MINOSO
CATEGORY - PLAYER COLLECTION, WANTLIST
I DID NOT HAVE A WANT LIST FOR ACTION PACKED WHEN I PUT THIS IN MY CART BUT AFTER THE FACT I DID DISCOVER THAT IS IS ON THERE. MINNIIE MINOSO CARDS ARE USUALLY AN AUTOMATIC GET THOUGH AND IF I SEE THIS CARD IN A FUTURE DIME BOX I MIGHT GET IT AGAIN. THESE CARDS ARE SO GREAT BUT IN 1992 THEY REALLY WERE $2.69 A PACK FOR FIVE CARDS AT K-MART AND THAT WAS JUST TOO MUCH
2021-22 DONRUSS BOGDAN BOGDANOVIC
CATEGORY - HAWKS
I MORE OR LESS GOT ONE HAWKS CARD OF EACH OF THE STARTING LINEUP AND THIS IS THE ONE FOR BOGI. MOST OF MY BOGDANOVIC CARDS HAVE HIM IN A KINGS UNI SO IT'S NICE TO GET ONE IN RED. THE HAWKS HAVE STARTED OUT SUPER SLOWLY THE PAST TWO YEARS AND COINCIDENTALLY BOGDAN WAS HURT IN THE OFFSEASON BOTH OF THOSE YEARS. THIS YEAR BOGI IS HEALTHY SO I HAVE UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS THAT MIGHT ALREADY BE BLOWN UP BY THE TIME THIS POST IS UP
NOTE FROM THE FUTURE: YEP, KABLOOEY
2020-21 PRIZM KEVIN HUERTER
CATEGORY - HAWKS
THE HAWKS ARE OBVIOUSLY MY #1 TEAM BUT IN 2024 THE KINGS ARE RIGHT UP THERE WITH THEM. MAINLY BECAUSE THIS IS THE YEAR WE GET THEIR FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICK IF - AND THIS IS A BIG IF - THEY MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. I LOVE RED VELVET AND I HOPE HE DROPS THIRTY A GAME ON THEIR WAY TO THE NUMBER SIX SEED. LORD KNOWS WE DESPERATELY NEED THAT FIRST ROUNDER AFTER THE DEJOUNTE TRADE
2020-21 PRIZM DE'ANDRE HUNTER
THERE WERE LIKE FOUR OTHER DE'ANDRE CARDS I WAS WATCHING BUT COULD NEVER PULL THE TRIGGER ON BECAUSE I HONESTLY WAS NOT SURE IF HE'D EVEN BE WITH THE TEAM BY OPENING DAY. THIS DID NOT DISSUADE ME FROM GETTING THREE JOHN COLLINS CARDS AFTER HE WAS SALARY DUMPED TO THE JAZZ. THE HAWKS NEED DE'ANDRE TO PLAY LIKE THE NUMBER FOUR OVERALL PICK HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REALLY QUICK IF THE HAWKS ARE REALISTICALLY GOING TO DO ANYTHING THIS YEAR. UNLESS JALEN JOHNSON OR AJ GRIFFIN WALLY PIPPS HIM AT LEAST
UP NEXT: FEETSBAWL, HAWKEY AND SOME O-PEE-CHEE

Nice LA Coliseum shot on that 59 Burgess.
Big fan of Bogdan, he was on my fantasy team the last few years. I like how his name is the equivalent to Steve Stevenson. I had to drop DeAndre from one of my teams because of his inconsistency
man, if DeAndre would just play to his potential HALF the time the Hawks would be the four seed
