I've been unusually active on Sportlots lately. I know I said I wasn't going to buy random cards this year, and instead focus on saving for a '53 Mays, but my hand was forced. One of the perks of being a season ticket holder to the Albuquerque Isotopes, is that early in the year they put on a meet and greet with all (or most of, sans a few curmudgeons) of all of the players. So I made a point to track down cards for as many of the guys as I could this year, which for the most part was ones I didn't have from random Bowman and Topps Debut sets (where do you even buy packs of these?). Old habits die hard, and I couldn't just order 3 cards from a seller, without maxing out the shipping price point with a few Wallach's. That's where most of the 80 cards above came from.
The best cards of the bunch, pictured again below, were two random eBay purchases. These sort of oddballs aren't all that hard to find, but usually sellers want about $5 a pop for them. The Rancho Cucamonga showed up for a buck shipped, and the lot of Stuarts was less than a buck a card, so I pulled the trigger. It's actually the first Ranco Cucamonga card I've added since 2013. So maybe it's a little more rare than I thought it was.
