THIS BATCH IS ALL OVER THE MAP, LET'S JUST GET STARTED
1992 FLEER ULTRA REGGIE SANDERS ALL-ROOKIE TEAM
CATEGORY - INSERT
OH FLEER ULTRA INSERTS HOW I LOVE YOU SO. THE UPGRADE FROM 1991 ULTRA TO 1992 IS ONE OF THE LARGEST IN BASEBALL CARD HISTORY AND THESE ALL-ROOKIE TEAM CARDS ARE THE BEST LOOKING IN THE SET. REGGIE SANDERS IS A PROUD BRAVES LEGEND TOO, IT'S NOT OFTEN YOU HAVE THE WORST SEASON OF YOUR CAREER THEY YEAR BEFORE WINNING A WORLD SERIES
1994 DONRUSS KEVIN APPIER, ROBERTO KELLY, DELINO DESHIELDS HOLOFOIL PARALLEL THING
CATEGORY - WANTLIST
IT'S SLOW GOING BUT I AM STILL MAKING PROGRESS ON THIS 94 DONRUSS SHINY PARALLEL. ROBERTO KELLY IS ANOTHER FORMER BRAVE AS WELL! AND IF I ASSERTED THAT APPIER AND DESHIELDS PLAYED A SEASON IN ATLANTA IN THE EARLY 00'S I BET YOU'D HAVE TO LOOK IT UP BEFORE YOU WERE CERTAIN I WAS BULLSHITTING YOU
2021 DONRUSS MAX FRIED
CATEGORY - BRAVES
DID ANOTHER OOPS AND BOUGHT THE SAME CARD TWICE AGAIN. THIS WORKED OUT TO MY ADVANTAGE AS THE PREVIOUS FRIED CARD WAS INVOLVED IN A CATASTROPHE INVOLVING TWO COMPLETELY FULL CUPS OF WATER AND COFFEE AND A DESK LAMP THAT SPONTANEOUSLY ATTACKED ME. NO I DON'T WISH TO EXPLAIN IN DETAIL AT THIS TIME, I NEED A FEW YEARS OF THERAPY FIRST. DON'T WORRY, I DIDN'T HAVE TO THROW AWAY THE OTHER FRIED CARD UNLIKE SOME OTHER UNLUCKY VICTIMS. THIS IS AT LEAST A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW OFF THE INCREDIBLY BORING DONRUSS BACKS
2022 DONRUSS MAX FRIED
CATEGORY - BRAVES
ANOTHER MAX, THIS ONE I DON'T ALREADY HAVE. THIS DESIGN CONFUSES MY BRAIN BUT I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE 3-D EFFECT POPS A LOT HARDER ON THE HOLOFOIL PARALLELS. THANKFULLY THE PARALLELS SEEM TO BE MUCH EASIER TO FIND THAN THE BASE CARDS THANKS TO THE SHEER NUMBER OF THEM
2022 DONRUSS FREDDIE FREEMAN
CATEGORY - BRAVES
FREDERICK STILL HAS AN ATLANTA TEAM DESIGNATION SO I GUESS I NEED IT. LEST YOU THINK I BECAME BITTER ABOUT HIM DEFECTING TO THE DODGERS, I WAS KINDA SICK OF HIS ANTICS A FEW YEARS BEFORE HIS CONTRACT RAN OUT. I'VE BEEN BITTER FOR A LONG TIME
2022 BOWMAN RONALD ACUÑA JR.
CATEGORY - RONALD
ANOTHER CARD I'VE BOUGHT AT LEAST TWICE FROM THIS WEBSITE BUT THIS ONE I BOUGHT AGAIN ON PURPOSE. IF I SEE A RONALD FOR UNDER A BUCK I'M BUYING IT. IF I END UP WITH ENOUGH BOWMAN ACUÑA CARDS TO WALLPAPER MY ENTIRE HOUSE THEN I GUESS IT'S TIME TO REDECORATE THEN
2000 FINEST MANNY RAMIREZ
CATEGORY - SHINY
I'M SURE YOU WILL ALL BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT YOU WILL NOT SEE ANOTHER BARVE IN THESE POSTS FOR ANOTHER 26 CARDS. I KNOW I'VE OVERLOADED YOU A BIT LATELY. MANNY RAMIREZ CARDS WERE PLENTIFUL ON THE SITE AND I HAPPILY PICKED UP THIS FINEST. I LOVE THE GIANT BASEBALL DESIGN OF THIS SET, THE INTRICATE ETCHING LOOKS SO DAMN GOOD
1998-99 UD CHOICE WAYNE GRETZKY GM'S CHOICE
CATEGORY - SUPERSTAR, PLAYER COLLECTION
I'VE BEEN PICKING UP RANDOM GRETZKY CARDS LIKE MAD ON THIS SITE AND THIS ONE CAN TECHNICALLY FIT INTO THE YZERMAN COLLECTION. PATRICK ROY AND STEVE YZERMAN WERE APPARENTLY THE SPOKESMEN FOR THIS UD CHOICE SET AND THEY BOTH GOT A SUBSET WHERE THEY COULD BE THE GM AND CHOOSE A TEAM. BOTH CHOSE GRETZKY OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE WHY WOULDN'T YOU BUT WHILE YZERMAN CHOSE ROY FOR HIS TEAM, ROY DID NOT SELECT STEVE. SUCH DISRESPECT. YZERMAN ACTUALLY IS THE GM OF THE RED WINGS NOW WHO UH HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE PLAYOFFS SINCE OBAMA WAS PRESIDENT. MAYBE PATRICK KNEW SOMETHING
1995-96 HOOPS SHAWN BRADLEY CLOCK PARTY
CATEGORY - INSERT
95-96 HOOPS WAS ANOTHER SET I BOUGHT A SHITLOAD OF AT THE TIME (THERE'S A LOT OF THESE AREN'T THERE) THANKS TO THERE BEING A COOL PROTO-BLASTER BOX AVAILABLE WITH NOT OF INSERTS AND A GIGANTIC GRANT HILL BOX TOPPER. THE INSERTS WERE COMPLETELY WILD TOO, JUST TAKE A GANDER AT THESE DESIGNS. EVERY INSERT SET IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FLAVOR OF INSANE. THE BLOCK PARTY CARDS HAD THE NEON LAVA LAMP THEME GOING PRETTY HARD. THIS IS THE MOST PSYCHEDELIC SHAWN BRADLEY HAS EVER BEEN
EVEN THE BACKS ARE BLINDING. I LOVE THIS NONSENSE SO MUCH
1993-94 BOBBY CLARKE DYNASTY EMERALD ICE
CATEGORY - UMMM
SO UHHH I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHY I GOT THIS CARD? MAYBE I THOUGHT IT WAS AN INSERT? IT'S NOT. MAYBE I THOUGHT THE EMERALD PARALLEL MEANT IT WAS HOLOFOIL? IT'S NOT, THE EMERALD BIT IS A TINY STAMP OF GREEN FOIL AND THE INK IS JUST REALLY BRIGHT AND DAY-GLO. I DON'T COLLECT PARKHURST CARDS, I DON'T COLLECT BOBBY CLARKE (ALTHOUGH I HAVE A COUPLE COOL VINTAGE CARDS OF HIM) SO THIS CARD DOES NOT FIT ANYTHING I AM TRYING TO DO WITH MY LIFE. MY GUESS IS IN THE HEAT OF BATTLE TRYING TO ADD NEW CARDS TO MY CART BEFORE THEY ALL GOT SNATCHED UP I SAW THIS ONE AND THOUGHT IT WAS COOL AND JUST MADE A SNAP DECISION. IT HAPPENS, THIS WON'T BE THE LAST INEXPLICABLE CARD I PICK UP. MAYBE NOT EVEN FROM THIS BOX!
UP NEXT: SHINIES. SUPER EXTRA SHINIES. YOU CAN'T HANDLE ALL THIS SHINY SO BEWARE. OH LAWD, THE SHINY IS COMIN'

I remember how awesome it was pulling an Ultra insert back then, especially those rookies.
