Wacky Wednesday : 1974 series 5

The last 7 days flew by. It seems like a couple of days since I posted series 4.


I have what I call a complete set. There are 33 stickers but that includes the "CRAM MAGGIE" version of the Cram sticker. I do NOT have the Maggie version. I have the rest and in some cases both * and ** variations. I also do not have a wrapper, pack, or the puzzle. Only tan backs released for this series. Stickers I have, yes I do.




Every sticker in this set is valued at $4.00 each, except for the Cram Maggie, which is so scarce it carries no set value.








The big deal about the Cram Maggie sticker is how the die cut is. Oh and that it was pulled with only a handful escaping.





As you can see I have quite a few of the * and ** variations.





That's a wrap. Hope you enjoyed.

Need 3 players for Friday night

Tom and Chris needs some buds to come out and play this Friday night (around 7pm). Need three more for the BFG. Also noting that Sunday will be the sign up for the June games.

Meanwhile we have some cards, mainly Braves from SportLots. The ones that are NOT Braves are Pre-Braves cards.




Yes, Bazooka Joe is a Braves card. I thought I had this one, maybe I have the mini. A couple of Super Teams cards, some more Total cards I needed Helms and Ennis close out the base for that years team set. Now how about that Orange card, cool all by itself, and oh look it is a Miller. But, that's not all....





It is a John Miller, and to add to the opleasure of the card it is number 2020. Works for me. The logo is a tattoo.






Nice pyramid of Braves.





I do not like Panini Stars n Stripes (green eggs and ham running through my brain right now).


This one was shiny and who the heck is Martin and why did I grab him up?



because Chipper is on the back.






Four 582 Montgomery cards, a few Pinks, a holo, and Independence Acuna!





Love the uni, but Topps missed the ball with the front design.



The back is okay though.

See ya tomorrow with Wacky Packages series 5. (The original series 5).

Blogger BINGO qualifiers

First thank you to the families of the soldiers/seaman/airmen that gave their all. Peace on this Memorial Day!



Three more bloggers sent me Braves this week, and I believe that makes 7 players for the first round of Bingo. We will definitely have enough to to make the JUNE BINGO night. Now to just decide on what night to play. Most certainly will need an hour, 2 at most. I know we can't do Friday nights as that is reserved for the BFG. I am thinking the 3rd or 4th week of June, so from the players (listed below) I'll let y'all choose the day and week. Just comment and majority rules on the day and on the week.

Arpsmith, DK, Trevor P, Kerry, Jeremy, Bo, and Alex. Yep that's seven. But any other's that come in will get there cards too. meanwhile here is the Braves sent to me.




Kerry sent me these, and a couple of them had me scratching my head, but yep I needed all 5.







Alex and I made a deal on the relic that qualifies him for 2 Bingo rounds.






Bo sent me these two not ordinary 1994 Fleer... They are 2/3 of the Braves cards from the Sunoco set.  Bo also sent me a couple others that I didn't need. They were however on my web pages as wants, just not my excel sheet. Sometimes google updates (and doesn't really update), so I'll have to get Bo another Bingo card for round 2.  Another possibility is that with all of the Braves I've been getting in from Sportlots (also sitting in my ComC inventory) they will marked off on my excel, but just not on the Web page. I do try to ***** for pending cards, but like I said sometimes google just doesn't really update. It happens to me all of the time, I wind up buying the same cards over and over again until it is ingrained in my brain that I have that card.  Wow, I rambled there.








Jeremy loaded me up covering his Bingo games for awhile.

SportLots stuff

That's not fair.....this isn't just stuff.








These Braves needs came from a seller named Bryan.  (I think it's time to Windex the scanner again).



Now, I didn't need that Finest Dansby Swanson, but for .18 I grabbed it up to fill the cart to maximize shipping. The rest were all Braves needs, so not just stuff.




More Braves needs. That Red, White and Blue Acuna is sweet.




These last 3 scans above came from Ignatious. Picked up so low cost non Braves.


The next 3 are from Jesse.



More needed Braves cards.





Filled that cart with the gold border hot box stars.


Let's do 1 more seller today. Rattay



More needed Braves.



.18 Turkey Reds, current year.




Blue parallels.


And now for the really "GOOD" stuff.













1971 World Series Fleer Laughlin. I paid a whopping .50 a piece (or less) for these. I was a big spending, lol.

The latest and greatest

Let's start with some news. BFG news.....Next week still needs 5 players. Yes all 5 players for the fifth Friday game of the fifth month. Sportlots news....I've been getting tons of cards in lately. Enough so much that I have to curb myself. I currently have 400 cards sitting in my cart there. 9 deals en-route currently, and I have yet to show off the last batch from 8 sellers. We will see some of them tonight.




Cheap Chippers.




More Chippers. I obviously loaded up on him.  That last card is called a Flapper card, who knew? The card above is a tattoo which absolutely makes ZERO sense to me.





I needed all of these Chippers for my Braves Collection. See just how easy it is to hit my Braves want lists. Just takes 2 cards to qualify for a Bingo game......  let's get them rolling in.








Here we have a whole lot of color. Some yellow cards. Also the last two 2020 Topps Stickers I needed to complete that set.
