Quick PWE post

 So it turns out I do have some pink cards. At least a half dozen.


These two were in a fat pack of 2019 Topps Chrome I purchased at Target. I miss purchasing packs. And Target. Tried going there a few weeks ago and the line at the register extended all the way to the back of the store. I don't need mystery flavor Mountain Dew and 2020 Topps Archives badly enough to spend my whole Saturday standing in line.

And why would I spend $20 on a handful of cards when there are so many generous bloggers sending me care packages? Three PWEs arrived in my mailbox today, and I'm keeping my promise to thank the senders via blog post.

 

Adam (Infield Fly Rule) emailed me about a week ago offering help with my 1993 Leaf set build. He sent seven cards-almost all Marlins and White Sox, as you can see. The outlier was Royals shortstop Greg Gagne.

More 1987 Topps football set fillers courtesy of Elliptical Man. I will be busting open some packs of these this weekend :)


 
Jon of the Pennysleeve blog contacted me to ask a couple questions about my Devils collecting. Once I answered his "card related email" he sent these two Adam Henrique Progressions plates from 2013 Panini Fathers Day. These are from the Inked set, and there are just five copies of each. I would not have known any of this info without Jon's note explaining them.

 

Jon, Adam, Brendan... thanks for the great cards!


It has been brought to my attention that I have a talent for predicting sports outcomes. So congratulations to LeBron James and the Lakers on winning the NBA Championship. You're next, Dodgers :)



Thanks for reading!

  2. That '87 Lions card of Mitchell is interesting...I don't remember him, but that was a long time ago, and I was out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean too much during the season.

    Good Job. 👍

  3. Don't follow hoops anymore... but I do think it'd be cool if the Lakers won it this season.

  5. I love "vintage" Marlin uniforms. Leaf was a favorite of mine from 93-95. Three awesome trade pals to have right there!
