Free Stuff Friday #4 Back Again (bonus hockey page)

Inspired by the generosity of Jon at A Penny Sleeve for your Thoughts, here is the fourth 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!

Hey look! 2017 Topps. These are a mix of Series 1, Series 2, and Update.


Inserts!


Top Left is a Team USA card from Donruss, numbered to 299. The top Right is an "Orange Sparkle" Parallel from 2015 Topps Complete Sets. I am looking for the Kennys Vargas card of this variety. It is numbered to 179.


I don't know if anyone collects cards that feature uniform numbers, but here's 9 cards in case you do!


As requested, here's a page of Hockey! I have a lot more like the top row, but I figured cards closer to this decade would be more desirable. The middle card is a "Yellow Taxi" Parallel from 2019-20 Upper Deck Allure. The set looks a lot like Panini Prizm to me...  I will keep posting a hockey page if any of these are claimed, and/or another request comes in for more.


Let me know in the comments if there is a particular mini-collection, or year, or brand, or sport  you want to see next! 

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...)

Page Five - At the Bat Rack Frankenset

The Legend Continues! Page Five of the "At The Bat Rack" Frankenset is here. 



Page Three - UPDATED BELOW!


Rules -
9 different players
9 different card sets
9 different teams
player is at the bat rack (or bat pile) in or near the dugout
Have fun (most important)



and the backs:

37- Wes Covington  2002 Topps Super Teams
38- Richard Hidalgo 1994 Upper Deck Minor Leagues
39- Mickey Mantle 2001 Upper Deck Legends
40- Joe Morgan 1992 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes
41- Kevin Wickander 1994 Topps
42- Bip Roberts 1993 Fleer
43- Roger McDowell 1989 Fleer
44- Edgar Gonzalez 2008 Bowman
45- Miguel Cabrera 2018 Topps 1983 All-Star design subset

Wes Covington, of course had the same picture on his 1961 card, one of the early classics of bat rack cards. The Joe Morgan card might be my favorite on the page, just because it's rare to see good photos of Joe from his early Houston days. If possible, I will be looking for a different #41 to break up the Reds on the page...

Page Three (cards #19 through #27) had a Cubs problem - three Cubs in slots #20, #25, and #27. I went back through all of my boxes and looked for anything that could replace 2/3 of those cards, and I think I made some good finds :

#20 - Bob Elliot 1950 Bowman

#25 - Ozzie Smith 1990 Baseball Card Magazine

So here's what the page looks like now, with 9 different teams and 9 different designs.

Much better!
