Getting back to the DeLand card show from last month.

 It has been awhile. The first deal I made will carry several posts, a couple I've already posted and tonight plus one more.

As a reminder I erred when estimating the number of cards and was off by at least 100-150 cards. I thought I'd be paying .18 each and wound up paying .25 a piece due to my miscalculation. I'll blame it on the heat as the a/c went completely out while I was digging in two 4 row boxes. In fact pretty sure it was blowing heat for about an hour. Yes, I prefer heat over cold, but not like this. 

I broke up the cards for the deal one posts into sections. Braves, PC, set builds, and MISC which is pretty much how I do things. Tonight is the PC section and Thursday will be 2025 Topps Chrome Platinum set builds pulls (these were just days after the release of the product).


Here is the third round from deal 1.



A quarter for these was okay.




Seven cents may not seem much , but when you're talking hundred and hundreds (near a thousand cards.....it adds up.
















The series two cards were also fresh on the market when I found them in the boxes.

My 2026 Topps list is pretty short which isn't a bad thing because I was going to hold off and just buy the complete set which was released a few days ago. Not necessary now.


Here is what I need:


2026 TOPPS: 1, 4, 25, 90, 100, 104, 111, 138, 150, 170, 189, 200, 214, 216, 283, 312, 328, 351, 354, 356, 401, 426, 441, 450, 454, 456, 459,  479, 494, 496, 529, 561, 569, 590, 602, 608, 628, 638, 647, 653, 656, 679.


As you can see I still need a few from series 1 too.

On a side note: Topps is getting better.....If you can believe this the 2026 Topps Chrome parallels have been lowered.....This year there is only the base and 51 parallels.

Have a great night!

  2. Great group of cards with at least one Twins card in the post. We all miscalculate occasionally. Too bad Topps didn't miscalculate on the parallels. Enjoy it all!

  3. I love that Goudey Stan Musial card.
    I assume it’s a reprint. What year?
    I’ve got to look for one of those. Please point me in the right direction.

  4. Not sure what you consider hot... but it reached 103 today at my brother's house. All of my energy has been sucked out of me. Have just enough left to read blogs and comment on posts.

    Some solid 25¢ finds. Never seen that Delahanty before. Guess there's a new Sportkings series to chase. And that Brooks Robinson card is not very flattering.

  5. 1) Our humidity is always on the high side so 103 (with the index) here not too too hot= typically means low to mid 90's air temp which is hot, But I'd rather have 90's than 60's.
    2) yes from the newest Sport Kings volume.
    3) I agree, lol.
