With this pair of notable former Dodgers, my 2004 Chrome Black setbuild is down to just 20 cards remaining.
My longterm dream of putting together a run of Topps playing days Mantles sorta faded away with the covid boom, so now I'm pivoting to a frankenset of vintage and refractor reprints filling in the gaps where I don't have the original. Hopefully I finish that someday and get a blog post out of it. After these shiny revisions from '96, my current needs are 1952, 1953, 1956, 1960, 1961, 1962, and 1967.
Baby Dave Winfield. The '73 is a WTHB custom.
1970 Topps is probably the vintage design that benefits the most from refractorification.
Turns out Mr. Show is in my baseball card collection.
A couple recent Topps Retired auto pickups.
I also got a Parker Posey autograph.
I know I just showed that Jim Abbott, but turns out it completed the 2-card Angels team set for me, meaning I've got an excuse to show off the Nolan Ryan I bought in Hawaii years ago.
Bob at Best Bubble has been generous with me lately, first was a package with a couple Gavins and a couple girls..
Also a new Gavin for my collection-- I believe the first basketballing Gavin I've got-- plus some PC guys and many duplicate "bubble" cards from Bob's collection, some of which I plan to do crafty cardart stuff to and then send back to Bob.
Plus a stack of Glow Stars and several more gals.
Big thanks, Bob! Much appreciated.
That'll do it for today. Thanks for reading. Sorry I haven't posted for about a month, but I should be back with more cards to show off soon. (Padrographs Rod dropped off a few hundred various cards this past weekend that I'm excited to check out.)
Its about time you started posting again! :)
ReplyDelete1) Love those '04 Chrome Black. Someday I'll put that one together.
2) I'm working on the Mantle finest set from '96. The refractors look sharp.
3) Being a MN fan, I love those Winfield cards.
4) I have a small number of 1992 Leaf Black Gold...again, someday...
baseball cards and girlie cards, please tell me you are munching on a hotdog and some popcorn.
ReplyDeleteWell, I did have a brat for dinner.

ReplyDeleteSome beautiful beauties all around!
ReplyDeleteA. Never seen that photo of Winfield pitching before. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteB. That Nolan Ryan auto is sweet!
That Topps Platinum Winfield is outstanding! I'd love to get one.
ReplyDeleteWinfield as a pitcher is pretty cool. I always enjoy seeing your Topps Retired pickups, especially autos like Abbott, Ryan, and Fergie.
ReplyDeleteYou've certainly been busy! The pair of Winfield's are probably my favorites here, though the Bench Warmers gal and leopard print pin-up model are awfully appealing as well :)
ReplyDeleteWinfield College Years card is too cool!
