INSERTS!!!!! INSERTS AND MORE INSERTS!!! AND A BASE CARD AND A BOX SET CARD AND A SHORT PRINT AND A CHECKLIST! THAT IS ALSO AN INSERT!!! INSERTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1992 UPPER DECK WALTER PAYTON FOOTBALL HEROES HEADER
CATEGORY - INSERT
I NEED THREE OR FOUR CARDS FOR THE FULL RUN OF HEROES CARDS FROM 1990-93. THERE ARE A FEW OTHER HEROES INSERT SETS OUT THERE BUT THEY AREN'T TERRIBLY EASY TO FIND SO ONCE I'M DONE I MIGHT START ATTACKING THE FOOTBALL AND HOCKEY SETS AS WELL. THE HEROES HEADER CARDS ARE ALWAYS A BIT SHORT PRINTED SO I NABBED THIS ONE FOR THE WALTER PAYTON SET TO GET IT OUT OF THE WAY
2020 TOPPS ANDREW MCCUTCHEN TURKEY RED
CATEGORY - INSERT
THIS IS FAR FROM THE BEST LOOKING MCCUTCHEN PHILLIES CARD BUT EVERY MCCUTCHEN IS A GOOD MCCUTCHEN. I SEEM TO SLOWLY BE ACCUMULATING THIS SET, SOMETHING I'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH ALL PREVIOUS TURKEY RED SETS. ONE DAY I NEED TO EITHER MAKE A WANTLIST OR SELL A BOX FULL OF THE CARDS
2022 TOPPS FORMULA ONE HAAS F1 TEAM RETRO
CATEGORY - RETRO
I DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT FORMULA 1, BUT I AM A SUCKER FOR RETRO CARDS EXPECIALLY RETRO CARDS FROM OTHER SPORTS. THIS IS BASED ON THE 1968 TOPPS HOT ROD SET AND I'M HAVING TO FORCE MYSELF TO NOT BUY ONE OF THE ORIGINALS ONLINE AT THE MOMENT. I MAY NEED TO PUT TOGETHER A VINTAGE CAR CARD BINDER TO JUSTIFY ALL THESE OLD CARDS I WANT TO BUY
THE BACK REALLY SOLD ME MORE THAN THE FRONT. TOPPS IS TOO COWARDLY TO DESIGN A CARD BACK LIKE THIS ANYMORE. I HAVE NO IDEA IF MICK SCHUMACHER IS ANY GOOD OR NOT BUT IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD A CARD AS ANY TO PICK UP
1986 FLEER LEAGUE LEADERS BOB HORNER
CATEGORY - BRAVES
I REALLY LOVE OLD FLEER BOX SETS BUT I WAITED TOO LONG TO PICK THEM UP CHEAP. I PROBABLY HAVE THIS BOB HORNER CARD BUT THEN AGAIN, MAYBE I DON'T? I HAVE ALL MY BOX SET CARDS SORTED AND PUT AWAY BUT NO WANTLISTS. THIS CARD WAS PRETTY ENOUGH TO THROW A DIME AT
1992-93 UPPER DECK LARRY STEWART NBA ALL ROOKIE TEAM
CATEGORY - INSERT
LARRY STEWART ONLY PLAYED 5 SEASONS IN THE NBA BUT HE PLAYED OVERSEAS UNTIL 2008. THAT'S A GOOD CAREER NO MATTER HOW YOU SLICE IT. I AM NOT CLOSE ON ANY OF THE OLDER UPPER DECK INSERT SETS BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THIS ONE SO NOW I HAVE IT
2002 LEAF ROOKIES AND STARS BRIAN GILES STATISTICAL STANDOUTS
CATEGORY - INSERT
THIS WAS A CASE OF A CARD THAT I SAW TOO MANY TIMES AND EVENTUALLY JUST HAD TO BUY IT. I DON'T COLLECT LEAF ROOKIES AND STARS AT ALL. BRIAN GILES IS NOT HIGH ON MY PLAYER COLLECTING LISTS EITHER. AND THE DESIGN ISN'T WINNING ANY AWARDS. BUT INSERTS!!! BIG MOJO HITZ!!! THESE WERE ONE IN TWELVE PACKS!!!
202? PANINI MOSAIC MARCELL OZUNA
CATEGORY - BRAVES
HOLY SMOKES A BASE CARD. MARCELL COMPLETELY WORE OUT HIS WELCOME IN ATLANTA, HAD THE ENTIRE FAN BASE SCREAMING FOR HIS RELEASE, ADN THEN BOPPED 40 HOMERS. BASEBALL IS WEIRD, MAN
1997 LEAF ALBERT BELLE GAMERS
CATEGORY - SHORT PRINT
I CAN'T FIND PROOF ANYWHERE BUT I'VE GOT IT IN MY HEAD THAT THESE GAMERS SUBSET CARDS WERE SHORT PRINTED SO I KEEP PICKING THEM UP COMPULSIVELY. THEY'RE NICE LOOKING CARDS AND THERE'S A GOOD CHECKLIST SO I'LL KEEP DOING IT, SEE IF I WON'T
1997 FLEER ULTRA MIKE PIAZZA CHECKLIST
CATEGORY - INSERT
YEP, FLEER GOT SO INSERT HAPPY THEY MADE THE CHECKLISTS INSERTS TOO. THEY WEREN'T THE FIRST TO DO IT, UPPER DECK BEAT THEM TO IT, BUT WHEN INSERTS ARE ONE-PER-PACK YOU DON'T WANNA SEE CHECKLISTS AS YOUR FUN PACK PRIZE. SERIES TWO CHECKLISTS AT LEAST HAVE THE FUN HOLOFOIL
YES, THAT'S RIGHT, THERE'S TEN CHECKLISTS. PER SERIES! YOU NEED TWENTY CHECKLISTS FOR 1997 ULTRA!! INSERT CHECKLISTS!!! LOUD NOISES!!!!!
2012 TOPPS GOLDEN GIVEAWAY RYAN BRAUN CODE CARD
CATEGORY - INSERT
I MISS THE GLORY DAYS OF CODE CARDS. THAT 3 MONTH PERIOD IN 2011 WAS SWEET. BY 2012 I WAS WEARY OF CODES AND THEREBY DID NOT HOARD QUITE AS MANY OF THE CARDS SO NOW I HAVE TO PLAY CATCH UP IF I WANT TO GET A SET OF THESE THINGS. HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN ONE OF THESE 14k GOLD LEAF CARDS OTHER THAN ON THE CODE CARDS? I TRIED LOOKING FOR THEM ONLINE AND FOUND A BIGFOOT QUALITY PICTURE OF A MIKE TROUT CARD THAT LOOKED NOTHING LIKE THIS
2012 ALLEN & GINTER WILLIE MAYS BASEBALL HIGHLIGHT SKETCHES
CATEGORY - FUCKIN' WILLIE MAYS
ONLINE BLASTER CASE HIT!!! ALLEN & GINTER CARDS ARE REALLY HARD TO GET ON THE SITE AS THEY END UP IN SOMEONE'S CARD AN AVERAGE OF 14 SECONDS AFTER BEING POSTED. NOT ONLY DID I MANAGE TO WIN THE RACE TO THIS CARD BUT IT'S ACTUALLY A CARD I NEED! NOT THAT I CHECKED, THIS WAS IN MY CART IN 13 SECONDS. PICKUPS LIKE ME KEEP ME IN THE GINTER COLLECTING GAME NOW THAT BOXES ARE OUT OF REACH
UP NEXT: I CAN'T FIGURE OUT A TEASER YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO FIND OUT

I need to sit down and figure out my early 90's UD Heroes needs. I know I have a few different sets from different sports... especially the 1990 and 1991 sets. It'd be cool to put them all into a binder.
Layaway can create havoc but may also be a good friend , love reading your blogs obviously biased and unashamedly so!
