Some brick or brack

 The winner last night was Matt (Diamond Jesters).


I mentioned the other day that I went over to Ormond Beach a couple of weeks ago. I went through those boxes I marked at the Jax show and I brought my list. I still need a few of the 2023 Bowman Chrome Prospects the main one being Cam Collier. Not a big deal. I also managed to get nearly all of the Mega parallels too. Bowman (Topps) only did 50 cards from each set for the base and for the chrome prospects. I should be able to finish those two off this year too. I grabbed a lot of stuff this trip. Enough to cover about 4 posts. The last one or maybe I'll do it tomorrow or even Friday will have a story to tell....a short one but one that netted me some....well you will just have to wait until I post it.


I started out this go around at Kyle's shop at the dimes boxes. Figuring I was going to get a super deal I grabbed all of the 2022 Topps Update cards there were like 800 of them. I already have an 800 count box of dupes (in order I might add). I don't know why I pulled these, I only need a few cards like maybe 10 at the most. It would be cheaper to just buy the things from Sport Lots or Card Barrel. Anyways, I got two cards that I needed and put the rest in numerical order as well. Now I have over 1500 dupes of that set. UGH, my fault though.  Those were not the only cards I pulled from the dime boxes. I grabbed a lot of brick or brack and here they are.



First up are this year's Goodwin Champions baseball players.



As is the normal they made a horizontal version too. If you look I one card of a different player in each version.



Next up are some ladies/women. My my Maria looking so so good, and blowing me a kiss too. What? What do you mean she wasn't blowing that at me. Oh well.





That Catarina must be some hot shot soccer player because she certainly got more than two cards in the set.


The rest of the brick of brack came out of the dollar boxes. But again 3 for a buck.





I grabbed all of the autos in the "new" boxes that I went through regardless of what sport or if I had even heard of them. Just grabbed them all.



I even found a relic in there albeit a USA jersey card. But heck cheap enough.




I found these too (there are more to show in another post). I don't collect these guys. Notice how some are crooked and some are straight, talk about the lack of quality control. Note also that one of the Burnes are a parallel. 

See ya tomorrow with normal cards.

  1. Always wise to grab the autographed cards. I would!

  2. It would be hard for me to believe the Goodwin Champions baseball cards picture actual baseball players who play for big league teams or their farm systems, though guys like Riley Greene and Henry Davis are already in the big leagues.

  7. Wow Goodwin Champions sure has changed. Last I remember the set, it was still going for the old timey feel. I do like the new look though.

  9. Those city connect cards are like the jerseys. Either love em or hate em.

  10. The Goodwins are the big thing for this post. Wow, a complete 180 from how it was.

  11. Couple Yanks prospects in Goodwin champs. I might have to look into those!

  12. Goodwin Champions has evolved beyond recognition the past few years. The design definitely fits the checklist (which I like)... but I feel like it doesn't fit the brand.

  13. Whoa. Not used to the new Goodwin look. Might need to grab some Macarios (part of the alumni PC) and scope the rest of the CL as well. Yes she's a big deal. Unfortunately she blew out her ACL and can't play in the World Cup
