EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!

Okay, a cheesy cliche, but oh well. I recently made BIN on Ebay for a complete set of something. I had them shipped to me in Georgia rather than Florida so I could LOOK at them and of course make sure it was indeed complete. For now, I'll say the set was complete. But, it what I didn't expect that blew me away. I've received "extras" from folks numerous times.  This is just the highlights, I'm showing. You see the complete set was just a 100 card set, the seller put them in a 400 count box, and then almost filled with "extras". I'd say 200-250 extras.

Raines (birthday binder) buyback, Kershaw, Dansby.......

Bryant, Braun, and Altuve, the extras were mainly 2017 Series 1 but look at these. I'd say some nice extras. I have no idea how I got that card upside down, oops.

The seller put in these too. That Spalding goes into the Braves Binders, yes sir jimbob!

Vintage Laughlin.  Now what was the set I bought?

These are just the listed cards plus a few Braves and Yount minus Seaver. I chose to include Yount over Seaver for the 18 cards I scanned. I picked up this COMPLETE 100 card set of Archives Reserve for just a quarter a card plus shipping. Considering that nearly a dozen of these book at $10.00 (set books for $60) I figure I win.  Now, I need to complete the 2002 set. Tomorrow is show day. I hope I do well as I am going to attempt to stick to the cheap seats if you know what I mean. Have a great weekend!

Wacky Wednesday

Moving right along with the second installment of the ANS 9 Wacky Packages.

It's been awhile since I last stated that before baseball cards, I collected Wacky Packages, and even Marvel stickers. I still have vintage stickers, just not the ones I had.

When I was in the fifth grade, a teacher confiscated all of my Wacky's which I kept in order and rubberbanned. Unfortunately, we moved from Ocala back to Georgia before the school year ended and thus I was not able to get them back. Man, that sucked and sucks.

Of course, I've tried to amass as many old original stickers as I can.

I threw in the extras here to fill the scan.

Probably, going to skip posting tomorrow, as I have a full day ahead.

Promo

It has been a long time since I posted one of these. Way back in the summer of......2016 I picked up those 3 million cards half of which were non sports. Dumped 99% on my dealer buddy (that sounds bad) Bob for what it cost me after I pulled what i wanted that is.

I figured these would make great trade bait, as I didn't collect them. I've not traded any, but I have given away several thousand of these inserts and promotional cards.

I pretty much classify most of them as fantasy art.

I had a lot of these complete sets too, some of which I still have a few sets.

I really have no idea of why Campbell's would put out a card set, but hey why not Hershey's did too.
I'll leave off here, and do another row of scans some time or another.

FOR THOSE COLLECTING 1956 TOPPS

Kit Young is having a sale on 1956 Topps.

The Final round......10

Well, the last scans aren't baseball cards. But, they are however a moment from my childhood.

LOL, It's not even a lot of cards. I picked up nearly 2 sets.  This is my NEEDS list.
This is separating the 1* and 2 **, I could have put them together, but what the heck I have enough to do both. Still with a lot of extras (most not in great condition).

This is the only card I scanned, figuring it coined a phrase very appropriate from my last card show haul. Of course my wallet felt it too, especially with the Graded Mantle, and hundreds of high numbered vintage Topps cards with stars..

Next show is Saturday July 1st, I'm looking forward to hitting the bargain deals this go around.

Lucky 13 take

Recently oscar (aka Stealing Home) of ATBATT sponsored a BFG. I won an inserts prize.

I picked these out as the best nine. All fit in my PC's.  Thanks Oscar, it was fun.

Shadow Shots

Gonna have to haul some cards back to Florida in a week. I have to run 3 shoe boxes and 37 400-800 count boxes back home plus a few odds and ends that I picked up last Saturday. Got them sorted and down to tonight to have the set builds updated (just 5 or so sets to update tonight). No worries, as I have 26 trade stacks plus close to 2000 cards to throw into those stacks. I am going to have one heck of a mail day when I get to those. Down to just a handful (50ish) of Braves inserts to log into the Excel sheets, then along with another 50ish remove from my want lists on the webpage and they too will be caught up. Just in time for the July 1st card show, sweet-----reload. Now that I'm done rambling about updating my sh um stuff, let's look at a few Shadows shall we?

Godzilla.

Sam Snead.

One of those long lighter things, that or a gas nozzle. Well it could be an air nozzle too.

Barring the damage just a great shadow, love the ball.


Have a great weekend! What's left anyhow.

Round NINE (For Music lovers)

How many of these do I have? just this one and one more I think.

I grabbed a stack of KISS cards. When I was younger I had every LP. Even watched that Movie, remember it?

Most of the card backs have a puzzle piece.


70's & 80's rock not your bag man.........

Not near mint by any means, but hey it's the Beatles.

Got so many of these I put a set build want list  (MISC).

Just one more round.......I wonder what it will be..,,,?

Round 8 (from the card show)

I'm getting close to the end of the card show scans. It's just not today, or even the next round.

I grabbed a bit more vintage this go around, like these 3 1954 Bowman.

Picked up a bunch more of the 1977 Cloth Stickers.

Most of these 1957 Topps are high #s.

These 58's too.

Just a few of these.

Look how clean those checklists are. In fact you'll see many of those. Needed Brave, Trophy Cup, and Felipe.

A LaRussa RC.

See what I meant by seeing more clean checklists.  A Davey Johnson RC.

Knocking out a handful of 72's.

Including a lot of the Stars.

What bugs me about this set, is crap like this. Hank Aaron write up on the back of Reggie Jackson card. At least I think it was Reggie's card. That's cheating, and creates a dilemma for me as a team collector. I have to include this card (back) in the team set build, I just have too!

A few big names.

Parker RC amidst the other big names.

That wraps up this round... You might be surprised with the next round or two.
