Back to the SHOW

 Last night's winner was: Adam (from Ohio). Adam is a brand new follower here at the blog, and former and now once again blogger himself. Adam I will need your address and please let me know your favorite teams and /or players. Thank you. 

I will say this about Random.org, it seems like every time a new name is plugged in they usually win. It at least feels that way after doing this drawing for 8 months. Random is what random is.... I guess.


Okay now let's get back to the what will be the never ending March Jax. card show, lol. I had made mention last week that I was going to show the 2023 PC guys from that first box (the .50 box) that I bought 1/2 the box (baseball only) the other half was FB and BKB after I did my Braves. Here they are.




I am only showing the non base cards as we have pretty much seen enough. Cease isn't a PC guy or Musgrove, but they were nice cards to fill the space.




I was excited to grab this box because it had nearly the complete 2023 Topps base set with all of these wonderful inserts. However....



Bottom row is for my Trophy Cup collection. I did get Harris and Witt, but they went to the set build. Actually I pulled two Harris but the first one went to the Braves team set.



Shiny rainbow foil.



Gold foil, gold, blue, and a vintage stock parallel.




Mike Trout is the chrome version.





Quite a few of these 88' throwbacks.





One blue parallel and one silver pack.  Did you forget that I left you hanging a minute ago?  You know where I left off with However....?

I also mentioned last week that I was heading to another show (Apopka) this past weekend and I did. Won't be doing that too often, but there is a HUG flea market close by that I may hit up from time to time. Anyways, The first purchase I made at the Apopka show (BTW: it is a monthly show held at the Bahia Shrine Club) threw that out there as yesterday was Masonic Monday. The first purchase came from a dealer who had six (6) partial sets of 2023 Topps series 1. Also 6 identical in the count and cards. 315 of the 330 cards in the set. $5.00, that's right five bucks! I bought one, even though I didn't need it. They were in order too. Easy to see what was missing.  

Other than that I made only two more buys (technically three), but from two sellers. I will eventually get those scanned and posted, but only the highlights.

  6. Not a big fan of Tatis, but like the El Nino card. The welcome to the club cards briefly make me think of Panini

  10. Topps could have done parallels of those Aces and gave one of each suit per player haha

  11. Cool to see Musgrove get a card in the Aces insert set... and that Nino card of Tatis is cool.

  12. I like the Aces inserts more than I expected, as they had been done a few times previously. But I admit these look good and Topps did a nice job.

  13. Hmmm...Seeing those 2022 Greatest Hits inserts together made me realize they all have different backgrounds. I wonder if there's some reason for that...

  14. They're not for me, but those Aces seem to be really popular with the blogging crowd.
