Writing this before the sun comes up. My Uncle had me up all night. Zero sleep so if this gets wacky not my fault. Going to do a little something different for the next several posts. I've had scans ready for awhile so it's handy.
The last few years I've been collecting the Chronicles baseball sets....all of them. Well, not actively going after parallels unless they are Braves, but you get the drift. Lots of very small sets, and a few mediocre sets each years. It is tough as all get out. I have want lists they are on the very bottom of the set builds link in the drop down menu.
Anyways, I scanned up a bunch of this years run. Not all of what I have of course, but a lot none the less. I do what I do. I picked up a couple of very large Ebay lots on the cheap. I also bought a value jumbo box at the last show I went to. That box had 180 different cards in it, so that is the easiest and most efficient way to attempt to complete the sets. But the 2 Ebay deals were pretty darn good.
Even here, drives me nuts that I don't know why. Looks cool though. I'll stop here with the Certified set for the week. See y'all back on Monday, hopefully by then everything is on the good side (including a little sleep).
I never really got Chronicles. Maybe that's my fault. I don't think much of variety on purpose within a single set.
ReplyDeleteNot familiar with these sets but the bottom two look nice and shiny.
ReplyDeleteYour uncle is very fortunate to have a nephew like you. Hope he's feeling better and hope you're able to get some rest.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Kudos to you for continuing to blog. When I'm overwhelmed, the last thing I think of is hammering out a post.
It gives me a break, besides most of my posts aren't thoughtful to begin with, lol.
DeleteI think that the scans coming out shaded differently has something to do with the way the light is passing over them when they're in a group. I've noticed this happening too when I scan cards from the same set together.
ReplyDeleteI hope that's all it is. Thanks.
