The rest of the story

 The title is just a play on Paul Harvey (Sr and Jr). Tonight is a quick one with the non Braves portion from the 11/30/24 trip to Ormond. I'll just say great cards.



Yes, I have the complete Holiday set, but I got that Skenes before the set and sits in his "potential PC". The Jackie is a case hit from Big League.



Not really collecting this guy at least not right now. We'll see how he pans out for nwo I have this card sitting in my rookies boxes.




I know that I will never complete the Desert Shield set (probably not even the Braves considering the Chipper is the key card). But, like I said great cards.




Settle down Bo and AJ. These are very shiny cards.

That completes the trip or the cards scanned from the trip. I can now move on to some December gets. 

Have a great weekend everybody!

Finishing up November

 This will be part one of the trip I made over to Ormond on November 30th....last year. 



Starting out with Braves. I'd normally say new to me Braves, but when I went to enter the above Homes card, TCDB said I already had it. We'll see when I update the Braves binders or at least the 2001. BTW, I actually collect/set build the SP and SP legendary Cuts sets. I've completed a few of them too. 2001 was the first year of what is considered a high end set and the 2001 boxes are some of the priciest of all unopened boxes even current high end stuff. Thank goodness I completed that set a long time ago. I probably have enough dupes of the base set for three more sets too. 





New to me colorful Braves.









The complete Braves 2024 Topps Chrome Update set I think, it has been two months and now I no longer remember, lol.

I have one more post from this trip. I'll do a quick one for tomorrow night to kick off the weekend and get to December stuff. I am feeling better a little bit... not 100% but should be good to go tomorrow.


Have a great night!

Happy New Year and Happy Birthday

 Trying to start the year off in my "old" usual. With that being said, today is Wednesday, but it will be next week when that "old" theme starts again. I know this as I have the scans already ready to posy to carry that theme through February. 


Now to the baseball cards. below are athletes that celebrate today as their birthday as well as New Years.









Oh look I even added a 2024 card to the mix. Just a reminder I no longer go after football and basketball cards for the "Holidates binder", but when I make a bulk box buy and their are non baseball cards in the box I will sometimes remember to check the card backs.

Update from way back last year..... I still need to post the cards from the 3rd and last trip to the card shop in Ormond Beach in November. I also have my ComC Black Friday cards to post, some other purchases, and cards from Sport Lots that was supposed to have been here 2 weeks ago, looks like they are "lost" we'll see in another week if they pop in. It was a HUGE order as is the one I will request shipment once this order is resolved, and then another 400+ order sitting in my cart.

There is plenty to post i even went to that Tamps Holiday Inn show that I went to 3 months ago and got bad sick. Stayed an hour again, it wasn't packed that was nice, but I did get sick again! I got some cool stuff, lots of odd buys.


Happy New Year everyone!
