Now that's a great shot!
Johnny of Johnny's Trading Spot is no stranger on the blog, as he's been a frequent and generous trader since the blog began.
Johnny always drops in a few cards for the bat rack mini collection.
This package was stuffed with parallels! Serial numbered cards and refractors, multi colored borders, of players old and new.
Then there was this oddball
A Triple Folder!
Some modern cards made to look old
Lots of horizontal heroes - Sorry Tom, I'm going to hang onto the Boyd / Vogelmonster, at least for a little while!
Great variety throughout, plenty of new and older cards, stuff I've never seen like the trippy Torii Topps All-Star.
This is how Topps Sets used to get updated, a little pen or pencil and now you've got a traded card!
This bat rack card started the mini collection, and it is a work of art!
Thanks Johnny! A great haul, and as usual my mail box barely survived under the weight of it all.
oh and P.S.Opening Day for the Twins is in
6 days!
Glad you found a keeper in there. A PWE is soon to leave here destined for your mailbox.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, I gotta get you back.
DeleteThat Valo is easily one of the finest baseball cards ever made, been a favorite of mine for a long time now.
ReplyDeleteWhen I try to make lists of favorite cards of all-time, this one is usually at the top.
DeleteNo problem, I'm fairly certainly I have a copy of the Boyd/Vogelmonster card. I love all the bat rack cards!
ReplyDeleteRight on, I have been keeping an eye out for him.
DeleteNice Twins haul! I love the mid-2000's Topps T206. That was a fun time to watch the Twins... only to immediately get knocked out of the playoffs :(
ReplyDeleteMauer's hit was fair!!!! This is how I know how Braves fans feel about Game 7.
