MOARER CARDS! POSTS LIKE THIS IS WHY I QUIT PULLING CARDS STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX AND STARTED GROUPING THEM INTO THEMES WHEN I COULD. YOU'LL SEE THOSE POSTS IN A FEW MONTHS. FOR NOW, ENJOY THE CHAOS
2019 TOPPS NATIONAL BASEBALL CARD DAY JUSTIN VERLANDER
CATEGORY - INSERT? ODDBALL? SCREW IT, SUPERSTAR
2021-22 PANINI CONTENDERS JAMES HARDEN
CATEGORY - SUPERSTAR
NOT GONNA LIE, JAMES SEEMS MUCH LESS OF A SUPERSTAR TWO TEAMS LATER NOW THAT HE'S A CLIPPER. HE STILL HAS THOSE HOUSTON YEARS THOUGH AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO HAVE A HARDEN CARD EVENTUALLY
2021-22 PANINI CONTENDERS JOHN COLLINS
CATEGORY - HAWKS
HERE'S ANOTHER DUDE THAT GOT TRADED SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CARD BUT I STILL LOVE COLLINS EVEN THOUGH HE LOOKS AS OUT OF PLACE IN UTAH AS HE WAS IN ATLANTA LAST YEAR. I THINK JOHN COLLINS HAS BECOME THE NEW JASON TERRY WITH ME. I'LL BE PICKING UP HIS CARDS HERE AND THERE UNTIL I DIE. I'VE PASSED ON A DOZEN DE'ANDRE HUNTER CARDS ON THE SITE BUT PICKED UP COLLINS' SELECT CARD THE WEEK BEFORE THIS GOT WRITTEN
1988 FLEER STICKERS GEORGE BELL
CATEGORY - WANTLIST
EVEN THOUGH I CAN'T MANAGE TO FINISH ANY REGULAR-ASS FLEER SETS FROM THE 80S I STILL INSIST THAT I AM COLLECTING THE STICKER SETS. I ONLY SEE MAYBE A DOZEN OF THESE CARDS IN THE WILD A YEAR AND INEVITABLY I ALREADY HAVE THEM ALL. THIS GEORGE BELL IS A GREAT GET, IT'S BEEN A HOT MINUTE SINCE I'VE PUT A STICKER IN THE 1988 FLEER BINDER. THIS BEING SAID, CIRCUS STARS ON BEIGEY GRAY IS MAYBE THE WORST FLEER DESIGN EVER, AND THEY'VE HAD SOME REAL STINKEROOS
1991 LEAF GOLD ROOKIES ANTHONY YOUNG
CATEGORY - INSERT
A COUPLE OF THESE LEAF CARDS WEREN'T GROUPED UP WITH THE OTHERS SO THEY GET SPRINKLED THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE POSTS FOR FLAVOR. I FEEL REALLY BAD FOR ANTHONY YOUNG. ONE OF THE BEST YOUNG PITCHERS IN THE WORLD AND HE ENDS UP STUCK WITH THE DISMAL METS AND LOSES TWENTY STRAIGHT GAMES. AND THAT'S ALL SHE WROTE. ANTHONY DESERVED BETTER
2022 CHRONICLES CRUSADE COLTON WELKER AND REISS KNEHR
CATEGORY - CHRONICLES
LIKE I SAID LAST POST, I LOVE THESE CRUSADE CARDS AND I JUST PICK UP WHATEVER ONES THAT SHOW UP REGARDLESS OF PLAYER. COLTON WELKER HURT HIS SHOULDER AND IS NOW IN THE GIANTS' ORGANIZATION. REISS KNEHR WAS THE SPECIAL PINK FLASHY PRISM CARD I PULLED IN MY FIRST CHRONICLES PACK SO NOW I GET MAD WHENEVER I SEE HIS CARDS. I WILL CONTINUE TO RANDOMLY COLLECT PILES OF CHRONICLES CARDS FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE HOWEVER SO GET USED TO IT
20022 CHRONICLES SPECTRA CHARLIE BLACKMON
CATEGORY - CHRONICLES
I WAS UNSURE ABOUT SPECTRA WHEN I FIRST PULLED THAT LOGAN WEBB CARD OUT OF MY FIRST PACK BUT IT'S BECOME ONE OF MY FAVES. THE CARDS ARE SUPER THICK AND SHINY AND COLORFUL AND HAVE A GREAT VARIETY OF PLAYERS ON THE CHECKLIST SINCE IT'S A HUNDRED CARD SET. SO MANY CHRONICLES SUBSETS ARE FILLED WITH THE SAME COUPLE DOZEN ROOKIE CARDS (GRRR REISS KNEHR) AND IT'S NICE TO SEE SOME ACTUAL MLB PLAYERS FOR A CHANGE.
1996 SELECT CERTIFIED MANNY RAMIREZ
CATEGORY - SHINY, SUPERSTAR
SELECT CERTIFIED IS ONE OF THSE SETS I'LL NEVER COLLECT BECAUSE THERE'S TOO MUCH OTHER COOL STUFF FROM THE 90S OUT THERE BUT I'LL HAPPILY PICK UP ONE OF A GREAT PLAYER. MANNY LOOKS SO HAPPY ON THIS CARD, I LIKE HAPPY MANNY
2023 TOPPS NL ERA LEADERS
CATEGORY - BRAVES
SLOWLY BUT SURELY BUILDING UP THESE TOPPS TEAM SETS INSTEAD OF BUYING THEM ALL AT ONCE LIKE A SANE PERSON. 2023 WAS A PRETTY BRUTAL YEAR FOR ALL THREE OF THESE PITCHERS. I'M HOPING MAX HAS A CY YOUNG CALIBER YEAR FOR THE BRAVES IN 2024 TO JACK UP THE AMOUNT OF DEFERRED SALARY HE GETS FROM THE DODGERS NEXT OFFSEASON
2021 TOPPS A PLAYFUL BOUT OF JUNIORS CHECKLIST
CATEGORY - RONALD
AT SOME POINT I SEARCHED RONALD ACUÑA ON THE SITE AND BOUGHT EVERY SINGLE ONE I FOUND. THIS ONE COUNTS AS AN ACUÑA CARD. I AM GLAD THIS CONFRONTATION DIDN'T END UP LIKE TIM ANDERSON AND JOSE RAMIREZ. POOR VLAD WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN WHAT HIT HIM

One of my biggest hobby accomplishments of 1991 (outside of working at my LCS) was completing that 1991 Gold Leaf Rookies set. I'm sure I paid at least a buck (if not more) for that Anthony Young card (and that's with my employee discount).
