Good stuff from Ormond and good news about Florida!

Our winner this past evening was: Bo.

I have to give a shout out (rooting for) my Florida Gators as they battle LSU (another SEC team- SEC RULES) for the Baseball College World Series this weekend. 

The SEC has been a dominant force during my adulthood, and not just football. No matter who wins this year it will be the 9th out of the last 13 CWS winners were SEC teams.  Covid cancellation and Oregon State messed up a 5 year stretch (making it 5 of 6 Oregon's win in 2018, and nothing in 2020. 

Needless to say I want my Gators to win. It would be amazing that both of my Alma Maters CF (just won the junior college championship), and UF to take the CWS. I have UF football jerseys, I am thinking I may have to take a trip north to Gainesville and get me a baseball jersey from the school possible visit that card shop there too. If they win, I will do that. 

Plenty still to get to from the dollar boxes that actually cost me 3 for a buck or .333 each. 

I am going to go ahead and put this out there. For the last decade plus I have done my fair share of bitching about Bowman and all of their hard to figure what is what. But these last two years or so, they kind of got it simplified. Now until this year 2023, I didn't much care for the set design. I dig this years Bowman, I really do. I even like the parallels, but they are not that common. I have completed the base set 1-100 already and that is typically all I build. Not this year, I like so much that I am building the prospects and the chrome prospects. Nearly done with paper prospects, maybe half done with the chrome. Now, If I get off of my keester and dig through my future/potential pc boxes I might find pretty much the rest that I need. Thus far... this set is my favorite of the year. I don't believe Stadium Club will knock it out.

Okay moving on.

Those Pure Power cards are amazing in hand. Crazy for being so simple, but I love them. I have several now, and went on ComC and Sport Lots to grab some more. I picked up another Frank Thomas for .85, only because it was .85 and most of the others were around $4-5.00 a pop not just his cards all of them. I did not get any others. I think I will call it a night, week, etc.... There are nine more scans from my gets in the Ormond dollar boxes this time, and another nine scans of the FREE STUFF Kyle gave me. I'll give you a hint 2023 pruduct released not long ago. Like 800 cards free to me (those are already scanned). I will post those on Tuesday. I also went back to the shop the following, but I have yet to scan those gets.
