Pinktober. Breast Cancer Awareness month.

 I spent nearly three days getting the posts for this series to run the rest of the month. Wore me out. No way could I have done the other half of the cards too. Now I remember why I spread it out of the entire month previously. I also remember dumping them all into one post. YIKES! 

Truth of the matter is I had completely forgot about it "the pink cards". When I was in Georgia I developed a few bad habits rather enhanced a few that I already had....Putting cards in stacks because I was going to do something with them before putting them away. Being away from my "main collection", just made it so much worse and even though I will soon hit the two year mark for being back home where all of my cards are united (under one roof) I have still been and currently have a buttload of stacks. I started cleaning those up last week. So many stacks that it will take some time to get them cleared up. THIS IS GOOD NEWS! I am getting things put away, including the THREE stacks of PINK cards that were sitting on one corner of my pool table. 

That was the tie in there, it reminded me oh I need to update those files and yes I did so, but not until after I went to pick up a pizza last Wednesday and the corner Hungry Howies had a well thought out design of their PINK pizza boxes in the shape of the breast Cancer Awareness logo. (They do the pink boxes every October and have done so for years. Anyway, I got the message went home had a couple of slices and got to work.

Long intro to the first of 2 weeks worth of PINK cards. I also cleared up stacks of other stuff too, and even done a few more PC guys and started re-doing the PC shelves.  Good News all around. Unless, you are a Dodger fan, because I have knocked out a couple of Dodger B's in my PC. 


Here we go to honor the cause. Some of the posts these two weeks will be lengthy and some will not. Tonight you are getting my 2015 Topps Chrome 7 scans, and 1 for my 2016 Topps Chrome.





The 2015 set screams bubble gum.











Plenty of star mixed throughout.




I didn't like any of the parallels with the 2016 set. As you can see I really don't have a lot for the year.....I wonder why. In case you folks are wondering not once did I seek out any pink cards. Every one I have came out of dimes boxes which means I paid basically a penny for each.


P.S. I have a lot of dupes available.

  1. It's always nice to get a least a little more organized. Those all look good in pink.

  2. Nice cards and a call to awareness of cancer. This is true for a number of other conditions that are faced by many until a cure is found for any or all of them. Happy Monday!
