The winner last night was: AJ The Lost Collector.
I'm going to throw out some more or less normal cards from the March Jax. card show tonight.
Remember I bought those boxes (that I will be returning 3 this coming weekend). This is the Braves portion of what was in those boxes. No, that first card is not a normal 2007 Topps card. It is one of those Factory set rookie bonus cards. The Chipper next to it is a Holiday Inn by Upper Deck card. These are the types of cards in all of the boxes. So call this your prelim for whenever I get to scanning the 5,000 cards I kept. Well, the highlights anyway. Probably get a weeks worth of posts and that will be it for the boxes. Still a long way off though. Lots of the odd stuff yet.
The Hamels is an advanced stat variation. The bottom row are Bowman Next cards. I don't remember ever seeing them before.
How can you not like that Hank Aaron card? It is not one of the usual suspects when it comes to his cards, one of my favorite uniforms, you got a bat in the AIR, the look on his face and you know he is staring at the pitcher thinking "I'm going to take you deep".
Heading to next week I will get the "Week of Yankees" going on Tuesday running through Friday then the following "Week of Dodgers" (technically only 3 posts there just 2 long ones).
Whenever a Hank Aaron card shows up, it's almost always the best card in the post.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really nice batch of Braves. I agree, that Hank Aaron card is nice but I think my favorite is that super shiny Eddie Mathews.
ReplyDeleteNice pickups! Don't always like the A&G cards, but those have my approval
ReplyDeleteAaron is always good. I like the Acuna "Unleashed" card. It has some character to it.
ReplyDeleteI knew I didn’t recognize the Saltalamacchia card. Love the refractors and the 1st year Bowman Chrome Acuna.
ReplyDeleteI almost want to say that those Bowman Next cards were similar to the Topps Now cards and perhaps didn’t last as long.
Congrats, A.J.!
ReplyDeleteYa'll have a great night.
I can't imagine keeping up with the organization of the sheer number of cards you bring in. But I bet it's fun.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that Aaron card is amazing on multiple levels!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy unleashed cards. Though the optic isn’t as great as the regular Donruss ones

The Sepia Fractor Austin Riley is quite nice.
ReplyDeleteExcellent pickups as usual
ReplyDeleteThanks for the win. I need to send you some Braves to make up for all the freebies you've sent me!
ReplyDeleteWelp, the Eddie Mathews goes back in the box.
ReplyDeleteThat Markakis Royal Blue parallel looks sharp. I might feature him in an upcoming post.
ReplyDeleteLots of cool stuff here. Like the Aaron.
ReplyDeleteImpressed at how thorough you are while flipping through these boxes. Even if I did take the time to flip these cards over, I would have missed the advanced stats Hamels.
ReplyDeletepretty sure that one was brought to my attention up front.
