Okay okay I know that was a play on Paul Harvey, but I couldn't resist.
So tonight we'll wrap up the 2nd half of the 2020 cards from that huge Sport Lots' order back in May or was it April? Anyways.
Here we gooooooooooooooooooooo.
I'm not really a fan of those "artsy" cards Topps puts out. But I got to have my Braves.
There ya have it. Whether it was in April or May too long ago for me at this point, Between the hundreds of Braves from SLOTS plus the hundred or two from ComC which I still have to post those highlights all I know that that "other guy" remains 500ish Atlanta Braves cards ahead of me. Better than the 1100 he was staying at. I am adding several hundred new to me ATL Braves every month, I will catch him, especially since I am re-budgeting the bb card funds to accommodate such task. I haven't been to show since Webster, and I've only been to Ormond once since then.
As of today the numbers for ATL have me behind 488.
I'm at 32, 204 and he is at 32, 692.
Now if we are talking "all Braves" I have him there.
I'm still #1 with the Milwaukee Braves and + 215 over that other guy
Boston I'm #3 (80 cards from #1) and + 222 over that other guy.
Throw in the Beaneaters, Bees, and Rustlers and I add + 88 more which overall puts me ahead by 50 cards, HUH! lol.
Even the Night Owl beat that other guy out on two of those (Greg has 7 Beaneaters and 1 Rustler in TCDB).
I did however buy those two new shelves and yes I did all of the re-arranging and all of that has been complete for over a week now. Looks good even my daughter said so which is always cool. I have bough several things off Ebay and gotten several care packages in the mail which all have to be posted and even 1 or 2 will inch me closer and closer to getting that #1 SPOT! Afterall, this is Johnny's Trading SpoT!
Have a great weekend folks! Try real hard not to slap anyone for that matter try not to think about wanting to slap someone, lol.
I have Beaneaters and a Rustler in my collection? News to me. Must be Conlon cards or something similar.
ReplyDeleteyep.. 7 of one and 1 of the other
Deletecorrection, 7 beaneaters and 1 Boston Bees
DeleteI like the 1970 style Archives cards. I just wish they would have used the same style font for the player's name. Keep going on the #1 SPOT. You should get there soon. Have a great weekend all. I hope the weather cooperates for outdoor activities without rain.
