Some more October Ormond gets

 Last night was a huge milestone. Going back to 2013, I would have never imagined that be possible. 1 million views (plus a couple hundred more). Thank you to everyone who took a peek over the years.....including the time or two bots got crazy.

I'll keep tonight short.

I can't help but think of bubble gum looking at a full page of the All-Etch.

This was originally going to be the last scans/post from the October trip, but I needed the short post tonight. I did run over to Ormond last Friday and planning on another trip this Friday too.

Take it easy!

It is done.

Should be a really really really BIG night tonight!

 I had a visitor today, Jeremy came over brought me that Jason Aldean Ginter card. The backstory here is that I've known Jason for 28-9 years. He was barely old enough to be in the bars. He has family here in Ocala and like me both Georgia boys, it seemed appropriate with a cousin of his who I worked with for over a decade knew I liked country music and back in them days had a way with the girls. He'd have me drag the girls to bar whenever Jason would be here playing. This was before his first record deal, which by the way was a bust, he switched that up, and then again later. Low behold by the mid 2000's he was kicking butts and taking names and hasn't stopped since. Yeah both Jason and I had a lot more hair and a whole lot less belly back then. He was a tall skinny kid. I've never bothered him since he got famous. But I do have a story or two, lol. At 47, Jason still has a couple of decades to go (though he'll never catch the KING George Strait), but with 28 country music chart toppers under his belt he should move up in the All-Time rankings currently at #13. Current Rankings .

Jeremy also brought me two new Stadium Club Braves too along with a handful of those HR/Hit thingy's.

Now we need to get back to those PC cards that I picked up in Ormond back in October. On second thought, I will throw out the odd ball stuff that I picked up on that trip including some non sport cards.

Some very shiny cards for my Presidential collection. January will be here before we know it.

A lot of shiny Donruss too.

I know that is a lot of 2024 Donruss, but I did say odd ball stuff, hehe. The Trout and Ohtani 205 DK cards were sweet gets (a set I am building).

I didn't even know there was a Diamond Kings insert of Diamond KIngs (the Alomar), so I'll have to chase those down too. Then you have some high end cards that I am set building. The Dylan Crews Donruss was the last card I needed for the 2024 Donruss base set.

Finishing up with some more set build needs.  That is all for tonight. Have a great night everyone! OH.... wait.... I did say this should be a really big night didn't I?

Tonight's post should and I repeat "should" bring me to a HUGE milestone....Actually it may have already surpassed it by the time this publishes!

ONE MILLION VIEWS!

Getting it right.... this time.

 Ran that last post out of order not that it really matters. Hopefully I get it right tonight. Let's see.

Yep, this was the one that I should have posted last time. I groups a few of the PC guys together.

The UK Ohtani was a nice .22 pick up for sure.

 

Looking forward to getting to them Mantle update so that I can see how many of those dog gone HR cards I have. I just went through a double whammy when I updated Bonds. Pretty sure there is a DiMaggio and a Josh Gibson long run too.

Shiny Trout's.

I think for tomorrow I'll break it up a bit with some more odd ball stuff/sets.

Be safe laugh more.... it's all going to be alright. 

Back to Ormond Beach.

 Resuming where I last left off with the newly obtained gets from the last trip over to Ormond.  Most of the posts left from this 12K card haul will be PC additions. rather cards that will sit in boxes until I check and update those players. First I should be done with updating my B's this week. Buehler is where I am at right now. I also need to update Ellis Burks put he may not be put in a binder (boxing him probably).

That page looks good all together.

prospecting box additions.

There were a couple more from this set, that I put with other cards of the same player so that they were grouped together. You'll see them eventually.

That Sutter Obsidian is a RED parallel, and that is the first parallel of them that I have ever seen. 

More in a couple of days, as I ran this post ahead of when I was supposed to. OOPS. I'll figure it out tomorrow, have a great night.

Happy Veteran's Day!

 Thanks to all Veteran's and their families! May God bless all of you. 

Below we have some athletes that share this day as their birthdays.

Enjoy your freedoms.... they have been paid for.

Let's go ahead and do this. NOT 2024 Topps Allen & Ginter, but 2023 instead. I also need your help.

 Super short post tonight, 6 scans in total.

This is where I need your help. I have mentioned this before. 3 of the 4 cards above are different than the other one. They are virtually identical other than the three have that silverish coating on the borders too. Side by side the Tatis displays the difference. No idea what they are. The parallels whether tcdb or beckett, do not mention this. At least not that I have read. They are not foil filigree, those are super easy to tell. All I see left is the silver portrait which would be the Tatis on the right along with all of the ones below.

With just 4 scans of the A&G, I'm adding a couple of Diamond Kings scans to balance things out.

I wish everyone a fantastic weekend.

Vintage buybacks plus 2024 Leaf Electrum, Pristine and Finest.

 Doing a quick one tonight with more cards from the Ormond run (should last at least two weeks).

I know there isn't anyone extra special in those relic cards but paying .22 for them is something that I can live with. 

Okay, Night Owl here are the card numbers on those buybacks, lmk if you need any.

The Panini Boys of Summer were very pricey boxes, so grabbing them up for .22 was a no brainer for me, even though Dawson is the only one hitting my PC. I'll throw the other two into the rookie boxes.

These four are the base cards for the 2024 Leaf Electrum. They are serial numbered to /99.

All 4 PC guys.

These are serial #d from 20 to 75. Five are in the PC boxes, and 1 on the rookie box.

Cards above and below are from this years Finest.

The base set this year does little for me, but those inserts are very nice.

This years Pristine inserts and some of those red parallel Hobby Rip night cards. I did get about a hundred of the Pristine cards for my set build that I did NOT scan. Same for the Finest but more like 50 of those. Still some at a penny and others .22. I like those kind of deals.

Have a great night.

Ormond Beach trip. 2024 Panini Crusade

 Not much sleep last night. Even woke up early and treated myself to a sit down breakfast out, followed that with a trip to Wally World then over to my brother's and hung out there for a minute. Spent the rest of the morning working on the PC update. Grabbed a pizza for lunch (and dinner too). After lunch resumed the PC update and typed up this post. Getting that 2024 Panini Crusade portion out of the wat tonight.

I like this set sort of. Panini did a decent job of using shots where the NO LOGO isn't a big deal. 

They also color coordinated okay too.

I used the one Braves card to highlight what the card backs look like. The write ups are interesting. 

Have a great night!
