ONLINE MEGA BOX - PART 33

 THE PENULTIMATE POST FOR THIS SHIPMENT. ONLY ONE MORE OF THESE TO GO! THERE ARE ABOUT 97 POSTS WORTH OF CARDS I'VE PICKED UP THIS YEAR PENDING BUT THEY WON'T HAVE ONLINE MEGA BOX IN THE TITLE. THIS ONE'S A WEIRD ONE TOO, ALL OVER THE MAP

2023 BIG LEAGUE SEAN MURPHY

CATEGORY - BRAVES

I THINK THIS WAS THE FIRST 2023 BIG LEAGUE CARD I GOT MY HANDS ON. IT'S... FINE? I DON'T QUITE GET THE STRIPES ON THE BORDER BUT THE CARD STOCK IS OK AND IT'S A REASONABLY GOOD LOOKING CARD. TOO BAD THEY RUINED IT WITH ALL THE SHORT PRINTS

1977 TOPPS CHARLIE'S ANGELS SPOTTING A CRIME!

CATEGORY - NON-SPORTS, VINTAGE

70S NON SPORT, HELLS YES. I NEVER WATCHED CHARLIES ANGELS AS A KID BECAUSE I WAS TOO INTO THE CARTOONS AND SITCOMS. I DON'T HAVE A TON OF THESE CARDS BECAUSE OF THIS AND EVERY TIME I SEE THEM OUT IN THE WILD THE PRICES ARE CRAZY. I SAW A ZIPLOC BAG OF ABOUT 6 OF THEM IN DISTINCTLY NOT MINT CONDITION FOR FIFTEEN BUCKS AT AN ANTIQUE MALL ONE TIME AND WAS A LITTLE SHELL SHOCKED UNTIL I FOUND ANOTHER SMALL PILE AT ANOTHER ANTIQUE MALL FOR A SIMILAR PRICE. THEM ANTIQUERS MUST RILLY LOVE THEIR CHARLIE'S ANGELS. I CAN KINDA SEE IT BECAUSE THESE ARE SOME OF THE BEST MADE NON-SPORTS CARDS OF THE 70S

FULL COLOR WHITE STOCK BOTH SIDES. NO CEREAL BOX BACKS FOR THESE PUZZLE PIECES, YOU CAN REALLY SEE THAT LIPSTICK. THERE WERE FOUR SERIES IN THIS SET FOR A TOAL OF 253 CARDS SO I WON'T BE COLLECTING IT ANY TIME SOON BUT IT'S A NICE CARD TO HAS

2000 TOPPS POKEMON TV EDITION SERIES 3 FLAREON

CATEGORY - NON-SPORTS

POKEMON CARDS! EVERYONE LOVES POKEMON CARDS. SO COLLECTIBLE! UNLESS TOPPS DOES A SET ABOUT THE ANIME. I HARDLY EVER SEE ANYONE TALK ABOUT THIS SET THAT WAS RELEASED IN THREE SERIES IN 1999-2000. IT'S A PRETTY NEAT LITTLE SET! CARDS FOR ALL POKEMON FROM THE FIRST GENERATION ALONG WITH CHARACTER CARDS AND EPISODE CARDS. NOBODY CARES THOUGH, THEY ALL WANT THE GAME CARDS

1990 TOPPS THE SIMPSONS DEVIL BART STICKER

CATEGORY - NON-SPORTS

MAN, SIMPSONS CARDS ARE HARD TO WIN ON THE SITE. ESPECIALLY NOW THAT I'VE GOT MY EAGLE EYE LOOKING OUT FOR THEM. I MISSED OUT ON A TON OF 1990 TOPPS SIMPSONS CARD LAST YEAR BUT STUMBLED UPON MAYBE THE BEST CARD IN THE SET. EVIL BART SITTING ON MY SHOULDER TELLING ME TO SIN. SPEND THE PHONE BILL MONEY ON 2024 TOPPS SUPER BOXES AT TARGET! GO FOR IT DUDE!!

THE BACK OF ALL THE STICKERS HAVE A CHALKBOARD JOKE ON THEM. AFTER REVIEWING THE GALLERY I CAN SAFELY STATE THIS IS THE MOST SURREAL ONE IN THE SET. YOU WEAR SHORTS, BART!

2022 PANINI LEGACY TRAVON WALKER RC

CATEGORY - DAWGS

I OFFICIALLY NEED TO PUT TOGETHER A LIST OF GEORGIA BULLDOGS CARDS I HAVE NOW THAT I'M SNAPPING THEM UP WHENEVER I SEE THEM. OR I COULD JUST GET A LOT OF DAWG DOUBLES. NOTHIN WRONG WITH A LOTTA DAWGS. IN OTHER NEWS, THIS IS ONE OF THE WEIRDEST DESIGNS OUT THERE. TWO OF THE SAME PHOTO, ONE SHRUNK AND THE OTHER CHOPPED IN HALF, ALL TO SERVER A MASSIVE ROOKIE BANNER. EXTRA ADDED BONUS: THE SAME PHOTO AGAIN ON THE BACK, THIS TIME SHRUNK AND CHOPPED IN HALF. OH PANINI, YOU SO CRAZY

1994 UPPER DECK JEFF BAGWELL MICKEY MANTLE'S LONG SHOTS

CATEGORY - INSERT

I DIDN'T BUY A LOT OF UPPER DECK IN 1994 SO I NEVER PULLED ONE OF THESE CARDS. THEY ARE EXTREMELY SHINY AND I'M SURE MY EYES WOULD HAVE MELTED IF I HAD SEEN ONE THEN SO DODGED A BULLET THERE. I'M STILL NOT 100% CERTAIN HOW THESE WERE DISTRIBUTED THOUGH? I SEE ONLINE THEY WERE 1:20 PACKS BUT THERE'S ALSO A TRADE CARD FOR THE ENTIRE SET? WERE THESE SO SHINY THAT UPPER DECK COULD NOT CONTAIN THEIR GLOWYNESS INSIDE PACKS IN TIME AND HAD TO MAKE THEM A MAIL-IN SET? POST-1993 UPPER DECK INSERTS CONFUSE ME

1998 DONRUSS JEFF BAGWELL

CATEGORY - WANTLIST

ONE MOAR HALL OF FAMER OFF THE 1998 DONRUSS LIST. THESE ARE SILLY HARD TO FIND AND I STILL NEED LIKE 80 FOR MY SET SO IT AIN'T GETTING COMPLETED ANY TIME SOON BUT I GOT THE BAGS. I THINK I HAVE FINALLY GOTTEN INTO MY BRAIN THAT THIS IS THE 1998 SET AND NOT 1997 WHICH WAS A PROBLEM FOR ME FOR A WHILE. NOT A GOOD THING TO GET CONFUSED WHEN YOU'RE DIGGING THROUGH SOME COMMONS

1998 FINEST DARIN ERSTAD

CATEGORY - SHINY

STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE FINEST CARDS WANTLISTED YET! WHICH MEANS I GET TO PICK OFF INTERESTING ONES OUT OF BOXES WITH UTTER ABANDON. THIS ONE CAUGHT MY EYE WITH THAT LITTLE GOLD GLOVE AT THE BOTTOM. WHICH IS ODD BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WIN ONE UNTIL 2000. THIS IS FOR REALS ONE OF THE BEST FINEST SETS EVER. GOOD LOOKING DESIGN, NO SHORT PRINTS, REASONABLY SIZED CHECKLISTS. GOOD STUFF HERE

1995 TOPPS TRADED MIKE PIAZZA AT THE BREAK

CATEGORY - WANTLIST?

AFTER BUYING A BUNCH OF THESE CARDS THINKING THEY WERE INSERTS I THINK I JUST BOUGHT THIS ONE TO ADD TO MY ANEMIC 95 TRADED PILE

1995 TOPPS TRADED MIKE PIAZZA IVAN RODRIGUEZ MID ALL STAR

CATEGORY - WANTLIST?

IT SEEMS LIKE I'M TRYING TO COMPLETE THE SUBSETS IN THE 1995 TOPPS TRADED AND ROOKIES SET BEFORE PICKING UP ANY MORE BASE CARDS. I ALREADY HAVE THE BOBBY HIGGINSON RC SO WHAT'S THE POINT IN CHASING THE BASE

2015 TOPPS THE BABE RUTH STORY FROM HURLER TO HITTER

CATEGORY - INSERT, SUPERSTAR

I LOVE 2015 TOPPS AND I LOVE 2015 TOPPS' INSERTS AND I LOVE GETTING BABE RUTH CARDS. THIS CARD IS EXTREMELY SHINY AND GOLD TOO. DESPITE BUYING AN ABSURD AMOUNT OF THIS STUFF IN 2015 I NEVER PULLED ONE OF THESE CARDS. I'M GUESSING THEY WERE ONE OF THE MANY 'SPECIFIC PACK ONLY' INSERTS TOPPS HAS BEEN FOND OF THIS CENTURY AND I NEVER RAN INTO ONE OF THOSE PACKS. I WONDER WHY NO ONE COLLECTS MASTER SETS WITH INSERTS ANY MORE

2020 DONRUSS RICHARD SHERMAN POWER FORMULAS

CATEGORY - SHINY

THIS CARD DOES NOT FIT IN MY COLLECTION IN ANY WAY BUT IF I EVER FINISH PUTTING TOGETHER ANOTHER CHAOS BINDER I CAN SEE IT ENDING UP IN AN ABSURDLY SHINY PAGE. BETWEEN THE LIGHTNING BOLTS COMING OUT OF HIS ASS AND THE MATH LADY MEME BACKGROUND THIS CARD IS PRETTY WILD LOOKING

1992 TOPPS GEFF JEORGE NO. 1 DRAFT PICK OF THE 90S INSERT

CATEGORY - INSERT

JEFF GEORGE IS MAYBE THE LEAST POPULAR QUARTERBACK IN FALCONS HISTORY. I KNOW THIS IS ASTONISHING SINCE DESMOND RIDDER EXISTS BUT IT'S TRUE. HOWEVER I WAS NOT AWARE THESE NO. 1 DRAFT PICKS INSERTS EVEN EXISTED BEFORE SEEING THIS CARD WHICH IS ABSURD CONCIDERING I BOUGHT SEVERAL BOXES OF THIS STUFF BACK WHEN YOU COULD GET THEM FOR TEN BUCKS AT K-MART. THESE WERE ONLY IN HIGH NUMBER FACTORY SETS WHICH EXPLAINS WHY I'D NEVER HEARD OF THEM. INSERT CARD I HAVE NEVER SEEN AND DON'T HAVE = GOTTA GET IT

1996-97 PINNACLE MCDONALD'S 3D ICE BREAKERS RAY BOURQUE

CATEGORY - ODDBALL

PINNACLE DID SPORTFLICS STYLE HOCKEY CARDS FOR MCDONALD'S IN THE 90S AND I SNAGGED A COUPLE. THIS ONE IS BASICALLY A .GIF OF RAY SCORING A GOAL. I THOUGHT THE WHOLE SET WAS LIKE THIS BUT THIS TURNS OUT TO BE A SHORT PRINT. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CARD ALMOST ONTO ITS SIDE TO SEE THE WHOLE THING SO MAYBE THAT WAS FOR THE BEST

THIS IS A PREMIUM ICE BREAKER AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE LITTLE CAMERA ICON NEXT THE THE CARD NUMBER. THE PLAYER CARDS ARE JUST NORMAL OLD ICE BREAKERS AND LOOK LIKE FANCY KELLOGG'S CARDS. THE GOALIES ARE THE BEST THOUGH WITH A PORTRAIT OF THE PLAYER WITH AN INSIDE THE GOAL SHOT OF THEM AS THE BACKGROUND. I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED FOR THIS BELFOUR CARD

1995-96 PINNACLE MCDONALD'S JEREMY ROENICK

CATEGORY - ODDBALL

HERE'S THE 1995-96 VERSION OF THESE CARDS WITH A GAME WINNERS THEME OR LES MAITRES IF YOU PREFER. GOALIES ARE GAME SAVERS AND ROOKIES ARE FUTURE GAME WINNERS. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC GAME LISTED ON THE BACK THAT WAS WON BUT THE CHECKLIST IS PRETTY STOUT SO I ASSUME MANY GAMES WERE WON AND/OR SAVED

LOOK AT THAT LONG LIST OF LOGOS ON THE BACK OF THAT CARD INCLUDING THE SHORT LIVED PINNACLE UC3 LOGO. AS FAR AS I KNEW THE ONE UNLOVED 1995 BASEBALL SET WAS THE ONLY UC3 PRODUCT THAT EXISTED BUT YOU LEARN SOMETHING EVERY DAY. THIS CARD IS A LITTLE BEAT UP WHICH GAVE ME A GOOD FEELING WHEN I SAW IT. YOU DON'T OFTEN SEE 90S CARDS THAT LOOK LIKE SOMEONE ACTUALLY ENJOYED THEM ATSOME POINT IN TIME

1975 TOPPS GRAIG NETTLES

CATEGORY - WANTLIST, VINTAGE

I TOLD YA THIS POST WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE. FROM 90S HOCKEY ODDBALLS TO ACTUAL 70S VINTAGE. I NEEDED LESS THAN FIFTY CARDS FOR THE 1975 SET WHEN I PICKED THIS UP SO FINDING A CARD I NEEDED AND BEATING EVERYONE ELSE TO IT WAS A MINOR MIRACLE. BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE

1975 TOPPS PHIL NIEKRO

CATEGORY - WANTLIST, BRAVES, VINTAGE, PHIL FUCKIN NIEKRO

NOT ONE CARD FOR THE 1975 SET, BUT TWO. AND THE SECOND IS A BRAVES HALL OF FAMER. THIS WAS MAYBE MY LUCKIEST FIND OF 2023. FULL DISCLOSURE: I ALREADY HAD THIS CARD IN MY TEAM SET BUT NOW IT'S IN THE 1975 TOPPS BINDER TOO

2023 DONRUSS BILL ELLIOTT

CATEGORY -  WENT OFF SCRIPT FOR THIS ONE

WHEN YOU KNOCK OFF TWO BIG CARDS FOR YOUR 1975 TOPPS SET YOU ARE ALLOWED TO GET A BILL ELLIOTT CARD YOU DON'T REALLY NEED AT ALL AS A LITTLE TREAT

2023 PANINI LEGACY DARNELL WASHINGTON, JALEN CARTER

CATEGORY - DAWGS

FINISHING UP THE POST WITH A COUPLE MORE DAWG ROOKIES. WINNING TWO STRAIGHT NATTYS REALLY GOT MY DRIVE TO REVIVE MY BULLDOG COLLECTION A BIT. JALEN CARTER HAD A REALLY GOOD ROOKIE SEASON AND DARNELL PLAYED EVERY GAME. I DON'T REALLY CARE THAT MUCH, I JUST LIKE THE CARDS WITH THE RED HELMET

UP NEXT: WE'RE DONE WITH THIS BOX! I CAN FINALLY PUT THEM ALL AWAY!
