Ordering up a Barrel of fun!

There's no limit to the wonders that await you on the world wide web. Something that would be inconceivable to us in 1982 when this card was released is a website called Cardbarrel. I used the site in the past when it was known as "Just Commons" to knock off some junk wax wants, and now I am back since COMC is no longer an option for me.

See? Look how fun that is! I purchased about 60 cards in all, and it cost under $20 including shipping for everything.

It wasn't all 80s cards either, I found a fair amount of recent items as well. A lot of what I picked up will be featured in future "I love the 80s" and Topps All-Star Rookie posts. I had been using COMC to fill out those gaps in my collection, but they are now dead to me. Oh well!

Hey Look! Willians Astudillo! Can't beat that. I'll be back on Card Barrel again soon to add more cards to my cart.

I Love the 80s: Just One Pack of 1982 Donruss

 I bid on some unopened packs on eBay, this one stayed cheap!

 No gum inside, just ads for gum on the outside.

 Instead, Donruss has the classic puzzle. This year's version is Babe Ruth.

 Most of the cards were in great condition. Nolan, on the other hand, had a little tear in the card just past his first name.

 Nolan, still going strong after the 1981 season. I wonder if anyone was thinking he'd be throwing no-hitters 10 years later...

 Diamond King of Alan .... Trammel?

 OK, I know you know how to spell this... Thanks Donruss.

 The next best players in the pack, I do love Foster's sideburns.

... and here's the rest. One Twin, the "other" Jim Morrison, Doc Medich, and what's up with the little green sticker on Matt Sinatro's helmet? Anyone know what that is? I am pretty sure I've seen it on other Braves cards from this era.
