ONLINE MEGA BOX - PART 32

WE'RE IN THE HOME STRETCH FOR THIS BOX WITH ONLY A COUPLE LEFT TO GO. THEY ARE ALL RANDOM NONSENSE WHICH IS HOW I LIKE IT

1978 TOPPS GREASE STOCKARD CHANNING

CATEGORY - VINTAGE

I GET SO FEW CARDS FROM THE 70S ON THE SITE SINCE I'VE ALREADY COMPLETED MOST OF THE LATE 70S TOPPS SETS THAT FINDING ANYTHING I NEED IS WONDERFUL. I HAD NO CARDS FROM THE 78 GREASE SET BUT SOMEHOW ACQUIRED AN UNOPENED PACK. I NOW HAVE A CARD FROM THE 1978 GREASE SET AND DO NOT NEED TO RIP ANY OLD PACKS

1993-94 HOOPS SHAWN KEMP SCOOPS GOLD FOIL PARALLEL

CATEGORY - INSERT

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE 90S INSERT SETS I DON'T CARE MUCH ABOUT. THERE ARE TOO MANY CARDS AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE GIMMICK OF PUTTING TRIVIA QUESTIONS ON THE BACK AND NOT PROVIDING ANY ANSWERS. PLUS THIS ISN'T TECHNICALLY THE INSERT BUT A FOLD FOIL EMBOSSED PARALLEL. KUDOS TO HOOPS FOR PUTTING SOME EFFORT INTO THEIR DUMB PARALLEL AS THE EMBOSSED GOLD LOOKS FANCY BUT PARALLELS ARE GENERALLY A WASTE. NOT WHEN THE PHOTO IS FANTASTIC THOUGH, SHAWN KEMP LOOKING VERY NONCHALANT AS HE IS ABOUT TO MURDER A BASKETBALL HOOP IS A GREAT SHOT

1995-96 HOOPS DAVID ROBINSON HOOPS POWER PREDATOR

CATEGORY - INSERT

THIS INSERT I DO WANT TO COMPLETE ONE OF THESE DAYS AS I PULLED ABOUT HALF OF IT OUT OF PACKS WHEN I WAS RIPPING PROTO-BLASTERS OF THE STUFF IN THE 90S. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS ANOTHER PARALLEL CARD WHAT WITH THE GREEN FOIL BUT IT'S A COMPLETELY SEPARATE SET THAT JUST HAS THE EXACT SAME DESIGN AS THE HOOPS POWER SET. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE GREEN FOIL OR WHAT IT HAS TO DO WITH PREDATORS BUT IT'S DAVID ROBINSON SO WHO CARES

1997 SCORE MANNY RAMIREZ GOIN' YARD

CATEGORY - WANTLIST

ANOTHER STAR OFF THE WANTLIST. 1996 AND 1997 SCORE ARE EASY TO GET MIXED UP - ESPECIALLY THE SUBSET CARDS - SO HERE'S A HELPFUL HINT TO TELL POST JUNK WAX WHITE BORDERED SCORE APART: IF IT SAYS SCORE '96 IT'S FROM 1996. IF IT'S A PINNACLE BRAND IT'S 1997

1981 FLEER HERE'S BO! CORNROWS... MADE FAMOUS BY BO

CATEGORY - WANTLIST

HERE'S THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HERE'S BO! SET, GLAMOUR PHOTOS OF BO DEREK TAKE UP ABOUT HALF THE SET WHILE THE REST GIVE YOU BIZARRE BEHIND THE SCENES PIC OF THE TARZAN SHOOT. THIS ONE ISN'T EVEN FROM THE TARZAN FLICK, IT'S REFERENCING BLAKE EDWARDS' 10. BOTH CARDS I PICKED UP WERE VARIATIONS AS THE BACK OF THIS CARD IS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT BLURRY PUZZLE PIECE WHILE THE PREVIOUS CARD WITH THE ORANGUTAN HAS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT BO'S LIFE STORY FACTOID. NO PROGRESS ON THE 72 CARD SET BUT I'M MAKING SLIGHT PROGRESS FOR THE 198 CARD VARATI- OH GOD WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE

1991 IMPEL DISNEY FAVORITE STORIES BONE TROUBLE

CATEGORY - NON-SPORTS

I'M NOT SUPER BIG ON DISNEY ALTHOUGH I ENJOY SOME OF THE OLDER MOVIES AND THEIR COMEDY SHORTS FROM THE 40S AND 50S. THIS ONE, BONE TROUBLE, IS ONE OF THE BETTER ONES WITH A TON OF CLEVER MIRROR GAGS. I DIDN'T GET THIS FOR THE FRONT OF THE CARD BUT THE BACK

THIS IS SOME OF THE FUNNIEST SHIT I EVER SEEN ON A TRADING CARD. I'M PUTTING THIS ONE IN MY MONSTER BINDER BECAUSE IT'S MY BINDER AND I'LL DO AS I PLEASE. YOU CAN WATCH THIS SHORT HERE AS LONG AS YOU BE COOL AND DON'T TELL THE MOUSE

1992 STAR PICS SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE GARRET MORRIS LIFER FOLLIES

CATEGORY - NON-SPORTS

GARRETT MORRIS IS A VERY UNDERRATED ORIGINAL SNL CAST MEMBER. HE'S EXTREMELY FUNNY AND IS ALSO IN QUITE A FEW CULT MOVIE CLASSICS SUCH AS THE EQUALLY UNDERRATED THE STUFF. WHILE THESE IS AN OFFICIALLY LICENSED CHICO ESCUELA CARD IN THIS RELEASE IT'S A PHOTO OF HIM ON THE WEEKEND UPDATE SET. THERE'S A TON OF CUSTOM CARDS OF HIM IN A METS UNIFORM IF YOU LOOK AROUND ONLINE THOUGH

I SAW THIS BIT IN RERUNS AS A KID AND LAUGHED MY ASS OFF AT THIS SONG. IT POPS INTO MY HEAD EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AND I STILL LAUGH EVERY TIME. JUST... DON'T LOOK UP THE SONG IT WAS BASED ON. THAT ONE IS NOT AS FUNNY 

2023 BOWMAN MATT OLSON

CATEGORY - BRAVES

IS EVERYONE ENJOYING THEIR $300 BOXES OF 2024 BOWMAN??? CARDS LIKE THIS ARE WHAT YOU'RE GONNA FIND IN THERE. YOU AIN'T GETTING THAT SUPERFRACTOR BRO, JUST BUY THE PLAYER YOU LIKE ON THE CHEAPS

1994 UPPER DECK PRO BOWL INSERT CHECKLIST

CATEGORY - INSERT

THE CARDS IN THIS SET ALL HAVE THE CLASSIC MID 90S UPPER DECK HOLOGRAM PORTRAIT WHERE THE PLAYER' SHAKES HIS HEAD AND WINKS AT YOU BUT THE CHECKLIST IS JUST PLAIN HOLOFOIL. IT'S STILL MAYBE THE PRETTIEST CHECKLIST YOU'LL EVER FIND

1997-98 HOOPS HAKEEM OLAJUWON, RAY ALLEN

CATEGORY - WANTLIST

I AM NEVER EVER COMPLETING THIS SET BECAUSE IT WAS HARD TO FIND THE YEAR IT CAME OUT AND IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE NOW BUT I'LL TAKE TWO HALL OF FAMERS ANY DAY

1998 UPPER DECK WONDER YEARS ANDRES GALARRAGA

CATEGORY - INSERT

SURE IT'S A BRAVES CARD BUT THIS WONDER YEARS SET IS SO GOOD I KINDA WANT TO COMPLETE THE THING. I'VE MANAGED TO ACCUMULATE QUITE A BIT OF THE SET SO IT'S NOT THAT FAR FETCHED AN IDEA. THIS DAY-GLO DESIGN IS SO DIFFERENT FROM UD'S VIBE AT THE TIME, IT REALLY STICKS OUT

I KINDA WONDER IF THIS WAS A STEALTH ADVERTISMENT FOR THE 1998 UPPER DECK RETRO SET WITH THE LUNCH BOX PACKAGING. THIS CARD WOULD FIT IN WITH THAT SET SEAMLESSLY. OH, YOU LIKE THAT KITSCHY NOSTALGIC INSERT SET IN UPPER DECK? HERE'S A WHOLE-ASS SET OF IT!

1999-00 MVP ANFERNEE HARDAWAY JAM TIME INSERT

CATEGORY - INSERT

YET ANOTHER PENNY HARDAWAY INSERT. I WAS BUYING FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL MVP CARDS AT THE TIME, NOT BASKETBALL. I THINK I EVEN BOUGHT MORE MVP HOCKEY COME TO THINK OF IT. I HAVE NO REGRETS, OTHER THAN BUYING MVP AT ALL INSTEAD OF ACTUAL GOOD CARDS. INSERTS ARE COOL THO

2022 BOWMAN JUAN SOTO, AARON JUDGE

CATEGORY - SUPERSTARS

HEY LOOK! MOAR BOWMANS! OF TWO OF THE BIGGEST SUPERSTARS IN BASEBALL. BASE CARDS ARE GREAT

UP NEXT: A POST SO RANDOM I'D BE SHOCKED IF YOU COULD GUESS EVEN ONE CARD IN IT
