Tennis anyone?

 I mentioned yesterday that I have been hitting up Ebay these last many weeks. The slow and expensive releases by Fanatics and Panini as well is just too much. The usual go to websites for singles and sets are also through the roof, so Ebay it is. I've tried to avoid it this week as I am actually planning on going to the Jacksonville card show which it has been two years since I been. This would also be the first time at the stupid location they have been in. No parking at the hotel. You must park a half mile away and be taken to the hotel by van. Obviously this was the number 1 reason why I haven't been to the show followed closely by it being an addition 30 minutes further away. We'll see.

2025 Topps Chrome Tennis.

As per my usual routine I separated the vertical from the horizontal. I wasn't impressed with the Tennis set this year. So I did not scan the horizontal other than 1 scan just to show you what they look like.

The majority were horizontal as this is a 300 card set. You might tell yourself that I am a fan of tennis, but you would be wrong. I'm not and haven't watched a match since the 70's. I do like some of the pretty ladies though. 

So now you ask "why are you collecting the tennis sets?" I would respond that believe it or not there isn't that many sets and usually can be had for a reasonable price. There are just 3 Topps Chrome sets. 2021, 2024, 2025. And very few others and those are typically very very small sets.

The 2021 set came to me via a 3K count monster box full for $20.00. It was only a 100 card set which I sent 1-99 (didn't have an extra Coco) to Greg who I knew liked tennis. Then the 2024 set had 200 cards in the base (I also have a near set of the Sapphire too). I see the trend the 2025 300 card base. We'll see here too. It doesn't take much to get ranked on TCDB with tennis.
