Keep coming in

The 1980 Topps set build is progressing. A few envelopes are on the way and the number of cards is coming down. Getting a 700 card head start makes this set build pretty easy, all things considered. I was happy that the set came with a fair number of Hall of Fame players included in it. 

I also got at Christmas time a 1988 Fleer set. That was complete. And it came with the 12 card World Series insert and a lot of the team stickers. I still need a few or a bunch of those, but I decided very recently to get the Headliners and All Star team insert sets too. They are six cards and twelve cards respectively. I would have preferred to get them via trade, but my limited trade bait didn't yield much that was reasonable for these. So I got the Headliners set complete online and am following the All Star set too and may just buy that before too long. 

The Jose Ramirez and the Dave Stieb were trade cards received. The below card is another boring, lame, and quite possibly dumb Allen and Ginter card. This one is John Kruk's 2024 Mini; and the Man is stunningly beautiful, but the card is meh. It doesn't do him justice. I just much prefer actual photographs and not the transformation process they do to make it look the way it looks.

Are you tired of me complaining about how lame A & G is? I know I am. We are getting closer and closer to pitchers and catchers reporting. In fact, I believe that happens this very week!! That's a great thing.

And today, the 1980 Tom Seaver was delivered. Funnily enough, I had this card in my collection but traded it away in mid-December. Unbeknownst to me, within 10 days I'd get 700 of the 726 cards in the 1980 set and one of the 26 missing was... the Tom Seaver! So I had to trade for it but that's alright. 

Thanks for stopping by!
