A big one! 2023 Topps Chrome. Plus something extra!

 2023 Topps Chrome has more pink cards in my collection than any other year (as far as chrome is concerned). Here we go.



These look pretty good. I'll rate them right along with the 2015 set.





The reason a card is missing here is because I realized that it was a pink/fuchsia wave parallel, so I moved it to the end.































Okay, that is the end of the 2023. With that in mind I do have a couple of 2024 plus some other Topps in the book. Those are below because tonight is the last night of the month, and I skipped posting last night. I did have this timed out perfectly, but I was just too tired after getting in from a winning night at Trivia! 



The 2024 looks okay too. The Flagship 2013 looks really good likewise the Pro Debut do too. 



These are mini's (above and the scan below).



Now, I will re-run the mini's tomorrow. Yeah, redoing it because I'm throwing a little contest at you with them.

Happy Halloween!

2022 Topps Chrome: PinkTober!

 I am tired! Went over to Ormond today, spent the entire day there. I just got in. My $20-25.00 boxes are now $30.00 (I won't be taking my own monster boxes anymore for sure). I loaded up on Update and Chrome. Filled 3 boxes to the max. I also fill a 3K box of cards from the dollar boxes and those cost me .22 each. It is what it is. Let's get strait to the Pink cards for tonight.














The pink looks good on the 2022 set. I still favor the 2015 more though. I'm tired so that's it for tonight.


Be safe!

Jack is all moved in. Back to PinkTober.

 My brother is all moved into his new digs. Sure he'll spend the next 6 months arranging and rearranging things and getting accustomed to the place. 


Now onto the next year of Topps Chrome Pink cards.











Those last two are parallel Pink cards. Wave something or another. They actually look better to me than the regular pink cards. 

Now, I held a 3000th post giveaway. Randomized 3x and: The winner was: drum roll please....

This is my 3,000th post.

 It is hard for me to believe that I have made that many posts. But here we are: 3000, it kind of feels like what I think a big leaguer feels that gets to 3K hits or 3K strikeouts. Now if I only had their money, lol. For you regular followers that comment often here is another giveaway opportunity. This time there will be randomized winner. Simply comment on this post by midnight Sunday.... One entry per. 


Now let us get to the PINK cards for tonight.

























  The pink works somewhat with the 2020 Topps Chrome. 

Have a great weekend folks, we're moving my brother into his new digs this weekend. Actually he started last night. We got a lot done today, but Saturday is the big day.


2019 Topps Chrome all in Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month

 The contest from Tuesday surprised me. I really thought that most people would at best get half. Turns out that was not the case. Out of the 8 people the most misses was just 7. Sure I figured there would be some digging looking at older posts would get some of them, but all of you got most of them. So here is the rest of the tally. Two people missed 6, two missed 5, then 1 each missing 4, 3, and 2 submitted by Diamond Jesters. This was fun, and although there was not a winner this time I am thinking of doing this at least one more time this month (maybe two if no one gets them all the next time). I feel like 2022 might be a good one (just 48 cards over 6 scans) and if necessary 2023 which has the most scans/cards (16 scans) in pink. 



The 2019 set is a step up from the previous 3 years as far as appearance. Still not as nice as the 2015. I like that bubble gum feeling from that set.



With baseball season wrapping up soon and I figuring the dime boxes will fill up with the 2024 parallels soon. I am hoping anyway. Here is another shocker for you or maybe it's not. I also collect yellow and orange cards. LOL!




















That wraps up this year (2019). Tomorrow is a SUPER BIG milestone POST. I might even slide in another hidden contest/giveaway to commemorate the milestone.
