Nickel cards: round TWO

 Before starting: RIP Meatloaf and Louie Anderson.

Round two.

I'll be back Monday with round three. I wonder who will be in that batch.....

Nickel cards. Round 1

 This is somewhat "hot rookies" part one of five.

Just doesn't sound right saying this page cost just .45.

But it does feel good.

See ya tomorrow with round two.

OOPS!

 I totally missed a annual post that I normally do twice each year. So here it is. Elvis Presley's birthday was January 8th.

We'll do this again in August.

Wacky Wednesday and an Uncle Update

 First let me say thank you to all the well wishes.... Thank you. My uncle is doing well, his only symptom was a fever and it is gone, they gave him a dose of Rendesvir and bam gone. They are going to keep him for 5 days to run the entire 5 day run of the medicine (and steroids, and vitamins), after all he will be 99 years old a a few months. I hate it that I can't be with him 24/7. Nights are rough for him, and they surely won't understand his scrambled language when he is say having a bad night (cognitively). Go figure the "industry" that is helping is the very one that brought the virus to us (the home health aides) one is doing better and the other is in denial. Hopefully everyone will be better by Monday. I still did not go get tested, I am taking the high road (conserving a test for someone else). I am assuming I have Covid and thus I will not be traveling back home this weekend. I very much wanted to hit the card show back home. It is what it is, I shall get another chance at that one in 3 months. As for my health, I am exhausted otherwise okay.

Now, let's get started on those 1959 Wacky Plaks!

Only showing half of the ones that I own this week.

I'll do the other half next week.

This original set has 88 post cards. I do not have them all (about 2/3).

I probably should have scanned the 1982 reprint Scanlens Australian set (they only have 84 of the cards in that set, but it is complete). 

Okay folks have a great night. 

Penny Braves

 UPDATE: SORRY FOR THE VERY LATE POST, BUT i JUST SPENT THE LAST 5 HOURS AT THE ER WITH MY UNCLE: COVID. BOTH OF THE NEW AIDES HERE HAVE COVID AND BROUGHT IT IN. I WORKED SO HARD TO KEEP THAT DAMN VIRUS AWAY FROM HIM. HIS ONLY SYMPTON IS A FEVER LOW GRADE EVERYTHING ELSE IS FINE. I HOPE TO BRING HIM HOME TOMORROW, WE'LL SEE.

This batch of Braves came out out of the three 800 count boxes that I actually hand pulled initially before I decided to make the deal on all of his cheap boxes.

All needed Braves.

Penny a piece.

I did finish going through the 7 monster boxes and I wound up with about another 100 needed Braves.

I haven't scanned those Braves yet probably tonight if not I'll just file them away. I do have a couple of posts of the "hot" rookies already to go so those are what's on the agenda for Thursday and Friday. They came from the nickel boxes as I just boxed up the ones from the penny boxes. 

Happy MLK Day.

 Remember the man and his dream. We did reach that. I can't lay my hands on any cards I have of his, must be back home. Be nice to one another. Be happy, make lemonade, glass is half full (unless it's Mt. Dew.....then you need to refill it).

As for cards I have finished going through those 25K cards. Sorted them (the first sort). I scanned some of the first batch (the nickel cards and the 3 little penny box cards. Braves from those too. Hot rookies too. I'll give you a taste tonight. As for the other 7 monster boxes I may only show some PC guys and of course my Braves that I needed. That will still take forever. Heading home for the card show Saturday. Fingers crossed I find some great vintage deals.

Tonight's Braves come from the "nickel" cards. All needs.

Maybe not any of these, well maybe the Panini Riley.

I'll be back tomorrow with the "penny" Braves.

Did you buy any 2021 Archives this year?

 So you bought some 2021 Archives blasters did ya?

Now I do already have the Braves base cards sitting in my Sport Lots box, but....

Well this post is all one "auction win" from Sport Lots.

Yes, there were dupes. But do we really mind? No, I don't for sure.

Rookies.

Lots of rookies.

More rookies. How much did a blaster of Archives cost last year?

Very recognizable names.

And they keep coming.

This was a big lot of Archives cards.

To think that I am only showing you the keepers.

Shiny foil cards. What sucks about these is that Topps made them the same size as the original 89' set. Sucks.

Okay, okay. I hear ya. You want to know what this lot cost me. First let me say that there were 179 cards, 138 different. I only showed the keepers.

$5.50. The shipping was $12.00.  Yeah 179 cards for $17.50. How many cards come in a blaster? If you haven't tried the Sport Lots auctions, you should. JUST read the rules first.

Have a great weekend!
