How's a 2021 complete set sound? And another contest! PLUS some BIG news.

 How about 2021 Topps Finest? The base set is 100 cards and then 25 SP's. 125 cards in total. Again, I consider this complete with just the 100. I will however not walk away from any super cheap SP's.







I actually prefer the FLASHBACKS SET VERSUS THIS FLAGSHIP FINEST, BUT THAT WOULD BE OUT OF THIS WORLD EXPENSIVE.



This one reminds me way too much of Bowman's best (recent years). This is kind of what that new Chrome set looks like soon to be released.



















Have a great weekend. I hope to head over to Jacksonville for the show tomorrow. Not sure what I'll be looking for as I have at least a months' worth of scans already primed. We'll see. Don't forget there is a contest tonight. 

Monday is my BLOG anniversary. 9 years of winging it. That's 3,285 days which will be the number of cards that I give away (via daily free cards). That's right free cards every day, well Monday through Friday providing I make a post which I usually do. 

It is time to do something with this 5K count box of PC dupes sitting next to my laptop. It's been there for nearly 6 years. Somehow, I never managed to take it back to Florida on any of my trips. Some big names in there even some vintage scattered. 

This should take 365 posts to hit the mark. That is FREE cards. Rules will be simple.

Unlike the "warm up" I've been giving you this week there will be 9 cards given on each of my posts (starting Monday) with a scan of those cards at least to start with (I may eventually drop scanning them). Every card will be a STAR!

1) must be a follower of this blog

2) comment each day for 1 entry prior to midnight. 

3) I'll randomize the names 3x.  sound familiar.

  2. Very generous! You are going to be sending a lot of PWEs! I know you do that already. I wonder what the record is.

    2. We should stop calling them PWEs and start calling them John Millers.

  3. I don't know if I grasped all that but I do know it's quite magnanimous of you. ... Love Finest! Never too weird!

  5. I like the looks of this set for some reason. Your giveaway plans sound insane, looking forward to it!

  6. That certainly does sound ambitious. My only concerns for you are A). people might start to get burned out on giveaways, or that B). people start showing up only for the giveaways, and ignore the rest of your content.

  7. 2021 was a solid year for Finest. I like the 80's vibe... although I gotta admit at first glance I thought this was Topps Fire. Congratulations on 9 years.

  8. Congrats on the upcoming milestone! While I like Finest, these felt a little too Bowmans Besty for me.
