The rest of the story

 No I'm not doing Paul Harvey (or Jr) for that matter. I did enjoy listening to him(them) when I was younger. No, this is "Just the rest" of the mess with the recently added Braves cards. Without further delay....here they are.


Pretty sure I have a bunch of those Bowman cards.



These too, so they must of been deals in that 80k pick up.




2023 Select.







Pretty sure those are Heritage high numbers.



More 2023 Pro Debut parallels and Chrome. Did I mention (I know I did) that I have about 5000 of those cards It is a 200 card set, and no the best 5 or 6 cards aren't in there, but there are still lots of $5-10.00 cards in there. Lots.




The rest of the Archives for my team set.





I'm thinking these are Chrome Update and parallels.



Those are my first and only so far of this years gimmick (Halloween cards).




These last twos scans are not a part of the mess. I know exactly where they came from and I had not scanned them before now. There is a funny story with the Exhibits. AS many of you know I am a long standing member of OCT (Old card traders). Every Christmas season members tend to send an actual Christmas card with a baseball card or two tucked inside. On one day just before Christmas I got three envelopes from 3 different members. The first two each had one of the exhibits above. That is so weird, almost liked they got together and discussed it. See I do have a lot of those Braves already, but needed both of the ones sent. 




I know these three cards came from reader Oren. I needed two of them. Oren will drop a SCP surprise care package on me from time to time. This time they went to Georgia before finding me at home. Got lucky there as the forwarding has expired. I have a return package for him that I hope blows his socks off, not really I hear it's kind of cold in NYC and thereabouts.

I need to get 6 boxes to the PO.. Maybe tomorrow.

More mess please. Yes, this is that mess. Oops....I did it again.

 The main screw up with the "mess" that I made last month was that I mixed my Braves together from all sources. I have no clue where my brain was. I had scanned the individual sources for the most part except for that 80K card deal. When I went to scan those Braves up is when I realized oops I did it again. (It's okay go ahead and let that song play in your head for awhile, hehe. 

Basically what I am saying is that you will see some of the same cards twice as I haven't posted many of them as of yet. Well, until tonight and again tomorrow night.



Let's start off with the very first card, yeah I'm pretty sure that I had that Score Maddux checklist. 



The rest of my 2023 Archives.




I know for certain that I not only had that Tribute Matt Olson, but two of them (set build).

 


I'm guessing these are from Update.




2023 Pro Debut.



Tons of these too, by now so I am thinking that when I bought the complete set I must have ordered the Braves team from card barrel or Sport Lots.


Now things get a little worse.


It's not really a big deal because when I go to put them in the binder if will all work out. OH yeah.....The 2nd biggest project I have on th eto do list is re-binder my Braves cards. Okay, so maybe this boo boo forces me to stop updating the PC sort and get on my Braves. 



I guess when you have 100+ irons in the fire it can't always go perfectly, lol.



My biggest issue really is that I can not give proper credit to where the cards came from or if I already did then you having to see them twice.










The Murphy on top  is a rainbow foil, it is hard to tell in the scan. Anyways, if you have seen these already I apologize. The same goes for the other half tomorrow night.


I am heading to Jacksonville tomorrow to look at baseball card collection made up of rookies, relics, and autos. Supposedly, I get to cherry pick before everyone else, we'll see if I can find any deals. Afterwards there is a "clearance" sale at one of the card shops in Jax so I'll look for some deals there too.

Bubble Gum: Monday Mini collection

Happy MLK day.


 I have received two PWE's from Bob of The Best Bubble since I started this theme.





These were in the first PWE. There were a couple that I didn't need, but I needed most of them.



These I needed from the 2nd PWE. Thank you Bob. 
Now in regards to MLK day, I have a few MLK items, but unfortunately I don't know where I put them. Next year I'll have scanned/pics for the post.

Now that I got these posted up I will resume where I left off (last year) next Monday where you can resume voting for the best bubble card in the post..

Franken Friday: As easy as 1-2-3

 You more than likely have already figured out that this franken-set is loaded with cards that are number 123. As this is the first post of this franken-set I am letting you know that It is all scanned and has already been torn apart. The set not the cards.



I had 369 different cards in this binder before removing them all.















72 cards in and we made to 1990, or least the start of 1990.

Have a great weekend everybody!

A mess I made last month

 No way to undo what I did. Just clean it up and move on.



Everything here tonight were part of those 2500 cards I pulled from the dollar boxes.




Some of this stuff you might see again, but certainly when I start the new to my collection Braves additions you will recognize that some have already been seen and some you will see again as I mixed them together at some point. 



I am thinking tonight's cards are probably not part of the mess, but who knows at this point.



The chrome versions of the Action Stars are so much nicer than the base version.









Grabbed all of the Ken Griffey Jr Goudey's.







More of those Hobby Rip cards.





There are the base versions of the Action Stars.

Alrighty then. Making progress. Franken Friday (1-2-3), Monday Mini (bubble gum), Tuesday Trade Night (phillies), so Wednesday I'll do the first of 3 posts with the new Braves.
