Free Stuff Friday # 3 - Oh Brother

Inspired by the generosity of Jon at A Penny Sleeve for your Thoughts, here is the third in what I hope will be a regular series of "Free Stuff Friday."

If you see a card you want, claim it in the comments below and I will send it to you in a PWE. 

Claim 1 or claim them all!


2018 Topps, Series 1 and Series 2 - If there's a particular year you want to see here, please indicate it in the comments below, if not I'll just cycle through the next year each week, as long as I have 9 cards to post! 


Parallels! Prince is numbered to /299, Tim Hudson is numbered to /2000.


The Giancarlo Stanton is a red Parallel Insert - not serial numbered, but still nice!!


This week's mini collection - brothers! I am visiting my brother this weekend, so I figured I would put together a small stack of baseball playing bros for you to pick from. Not a lot of variety as far as years go, these are all from 88 to 92, but there's always next week!

Let me know in the comments if there is a particular mini-collection, or year, or brand, or sport (all baseball unless someone requests something else...)! 

If we haven't traded before, please send me your mailing address. My blog has a contact form on the sidebar (you might have to view the web version rather than mobile...)

The Brothers Alou

I've been working on my Alou Brothers collection this summer, and now I can showcase two completed pages of Alou awesomeness.

Big brother Felipe's first Topps card was in 1959, Matty joined the trading card fraternity in 1961, and Jesus rose to the ranks of the big leagues in time for the 1964 release.

 I inserted the Post Felipe Alou so I could line up the brothers starting with Jesus' Rookie Year:
 Honorary Alou Brother Ron Herbel* makes an appearance. These two pages are the first two completed, hoping to add a few more of the short prints (it's like Topps picked a different Alou Brother to be Short Printed every year....)


Enjoy these Matty Alou oddballs:



*Ron Herbel is NOT an honorary Alou brother, as far as I know...
