Julie just finished up a big move to Michigan. As a result she is purging some unwanted cardboard. At the beginning of September she ran a contest for set of 2000 Topps and I won! Yay me. I can always use more cardboard.
At least with box sets they don't take up much space.
Julie didn't stop with just the set. Being the kind soul that she is a bunch of other Buccos were included!
Bill Virdon was a long time Pirate and was part of the 1960 World Series winning team.
Always nice to receive these high end parallels in trade. I'm not sure if these have a fancy name in Triple Threads, but they are numbered out of 25.
A numbered insert from Playoff Absolute Memorabilia. A set that I actually opened a bunch back in the mid 2000's. This card is out of 100.
I didn't realize they numbered the camo cards. This is out of 199. Obviously I love this card because I'm enamored with Polanco. I hope he turns into a star.
Prospect Buccos including a couple of top ten guys in McGuire and Meadows.
Some nice harder to find 90's cards. The Kevin Young is Topps Gold Label and a Jay Bell from Pacific.
Some more recent Buccos including all time favorite Jason Bay. I liked the Studio cards with PNC in the background.
I think that Cole/Bell card is a dual auto as well. That would be an expensive card. Also, that is my first Sniffle Ball card :)
Thanks for the contest and all the great extras Julie. I'll be sure to ship more Tigers your way soon.
Thanks for reading!
Arquimedes Caminero, giving Topps a hard time with their 2015 Pirates rookie cards.
ReplyDeleteHas to be a top 5 name in baseball.
DeleteI was in a band called "Arquimedes Caminero".
ReplyDeleteThat is my daughters middle name.
DeleteThat Fan Favorites card of Tekulve is glorious!
ReplyDeleteEvery Tekulve card is glorious!
DeleteGonna say the exact same thing P-town. But I actually really like the original 84T card too.
DeleteLate 70's early 80's Pirates = cardboard gold
DeleteSweet Cutch! And I always love seeing cards of Tom Gorzelanny because he attended a junior college about 15 minutes from where I live.
ReplyDeleteGorzo has managed to carve out a decent career. I didn't think he would last as long as he did.
DeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Julie always hooks me up.
DeleteSo, are you going to bust open the set or leave it sealed? You could probably get a lot of posts out of that set.
ReplyDeleteI'll probably keep it sealed. Maybe if post ideas run dry I'll entertain the thought.
