Akron, OH

These 34 cards (and a few stickers) were sent by Nick of Akron, Ohio.  I should probably mention, they were sent back in January of 2020.  That's over three years ago.  Better late than never?  This envelope, along with a couple others, were inadvertently placed in the box that I keep all the all envelopes that I've been sent over the last decade.  Typically, I take the cards out and post them prior to putting the envelopes in this box.  While going through it recently, I came across a few with cards still in them that had never been posted.  Oops.  So with some embarrassment, I'm posting them now.

Thanks for the cards Nick, sorry about the delay in acknowledging them.

Kirkland, WA

These 490 cards (yeah that's a lot) were sent by Craig of Kirkland, Washington.  This is not a repost, this is in fact a new post.  It may just feel like one because this is the same Craig that sent 393 cards last month.  That a total of 883 Wallach cards sent by Craig in 2023 making him the early clubhouse leader for contributor of the year.  Sort of like shooting a couple of 59's on Thursday/Friday at the Masters.  Sure, some one could pass him, but it's unlikely.  Craig actually sent far more than 490 cards, it was 490 cards for purposes of this count.  Those stacks in the photo above are actually all checklist, a little over 200 of them, and they all have "Tim Wallach" printed on them somewhere.

Interesting as that is, I'm more into the actual Tim Wallach cards.  Photos of the rest of them are below.

Craig is nothing if not thorough.  In addition to the couple hundred checklist he sent, He included a good number of other cards that bear the words "Tim Wallach" on them somewhere, including Bob Rodgers Expos Manager cards, All-Star cards that include Wallach as on league leaders list for various NL statistical categories (something I wish Topps would bring back), a lot of Fleer Expos stickers, and pretty much anything that may include the name "Wallach" somewhere on it.  I don't include these in my "Collect Them All" running tally of Wallach cards, but I certainly appreciate them and the effort by Craig to pull them and send them my way.

(The Wells checklist are too nice to show the back instead of the front)

Thanks for the cards Craig!

Vintage Splurge

It may not look like it, but the two images above are very much at odds with each other within my collection given it's current state.  I picked up that '53 Haddix about a month ago.  Prior to that I hadn't bought any vintage on eBay since around November.  I had made the prudent decision to focus on finishing the '53 Topps set as I was only two cards away.  Harvey Haddix, a card that for reasons that still elude me was/is consistently selling for north of $70, and Willie Mays were the only two I had left to finish the set.  On my collecting budget, $70 is considered extreme and not a threshold I cross very often.  So I was quite pleased to finally land a Haddix for about half of that amount.  Mays on the other hand, is going to cost me a lot more than $70 no matter how lucky I get.  So I stopped my weekly Greg Morris Friday low grade auction bidding on eBay last November.  It had slowly developed into a $30-$40 a week habit, and I was enjoying it less and less.  Instead, I started a "Willie Fund," that has been slowly growing to the point where I may be able to make some serious bids on a low grade copy before the end of the year.

Well I had a relapse.  The last two weeks I went a little crazy, by my budget standards, and that stack of cards above is the result.  And since they're here, and I actually kind of like them, I may as well show them off before going back to saving for a '53 Willie Mays.

That's a '51 Berk Ross card.  I had never heard of the set, but I'm sucker for old vintage sets and try to make a point to have at least one card from each. With this Billy Johnson I can cross 1951 Berk Ross off of the list.  Johnson was a one time All-Star and won four World Series with the Yankees before finishing he career as a Cardinal.

I'm slowly amassing a good number of '51 Bowman.  At some point I'm going to finish the '53 Topps set, and when I do I'm going to need to turn my attention to a new vintage set to work on.  1951 Bowman wasn't on my radar as an option, I've been looking at '54, '55, or '56 Topps as likely candidates.  I figured '51 wasn't realistic to try with the Mays and Mantle, but upon further investigation, they're really not that much more daunting that the trio of rookies in '54 & '55 Topps.  I'm not saying '51 Bowman is next, but I'm going to give it a look, and certainly a strong look at completing minus the Mantle, a result I could live with.  Ultimately it'll come down to whatever seems the least cost prohibitive, and currently I'm picking up '51 Bowman commons for about half the price of '54-56 Topps commons.

 

Speaking of '54-56 Topps, I landed a few of them as well.  The '56 Rizzuto by far being the star of the show.  I really love the backs of '54 Topps and when I sleeve them in the binder, it's a very satisfying exercise.  But between Aaron, Banks, and Kaline, I'm just not sure it's a challenge my budget is up to.  I'm also that one collector out there that actually prefers '55 Topps to '56.  Don't get me wrong, I love them both, but I just prefer '55.

Yes, that '58 Musial has some significant paper loss, but at the price I landed it, I could tolerate about 5x as much.  It's Musial's first Topps card, albeit I do consider his '59 to be a more legitimate "1st Topps card."  The '63 Maris is now the oldest Maris in my collection (not counting subset cards from '61 and '62).  For a guy who isn't in the Hall of Fame, his cards sure sell at prices that suggests that he is.

I may have to start a side blog called "1961 Luis Aparicio, An Attempt to Collect Them All," as I'm now up to nine copies of that card.  Look, when I bid $2.09 on Hall of Famers from the 1961 Topps set, I don't expect to keep winning those auctions.  Yet I do.  For a guy who is in the Hall of Fame, his cards sure sell at prices that suggest that he isn't.

Along with the '56 Rizzuto, this photo shows my two other favorite cards from this eBay binge.  The '62 Maris/Cepeda is a card I've put losing bids on probably 20x in the last two years.  I guess everyone that wanted one and was willing to pay more than $10 finally has one, because I finally have one too.  The McCovey is card I've long wanted and decided to take a shot at well above my normal price range and got "lucky" with at a price I can live with (somehow less than '53 Harvey Haddix, the most popular Cardinal of the 50's apparently).

I also added a few modern cards.  These are all duplicates or more  (octuplets(?) in the case of Morris) but I don't mind adding cards like these when the price is right.  They make nice little gifts to friends who fans of a particular team or are parents of younger collectors and things like that. 

I more than dabble in cards of sports other than baseball and added these as well.  The Yzerman's are Topps and the Roy is an OPC.  I much prefer OPC for the hockey, but I won't turn down Topps when it's available.  The Norm Nixon became desirable as a result of the show "Winning Time" on HBO.  I don't know how much I trust the show's accuracy, but accurate or not, I like Norm Nixon's portrayal in the show and wanted one of his cards.

This final card was from a "1953 TV & Radio NBC Stars" put out by Bowman.  I just thought it was cool.  A google search revealed that a now married Mr. Muggs is still alive and living in Florida.  Seriously, check out his google page.  From the auction listing, and it's design, I figured it would be the size of a '51 Bowman, but it's actually the size of a '53 Bowman baseball card.

Thanks for reading.  I hope to active the next few weeks catching up on some mailings that I misplaced and recently found,...from about 2 years ago.

Watertown, NY

These 8 cards were sent by The Night Owl.  Night Owl, in addition to operating what has been the gold standard of card blogs the last 15 years or so, has long been a generous supplier of mid-90's Dodger Wallach cards to this blog.  Which is nice, because they're often the ones I over look when making purchases.  The Donruss Top of the Order cards are the first ones I've added in 3 years and brings my total up to 11.  Three years really isn't that long I guess, I previously went 8 years without adding one of those.  It's practically a regular addition now.

Thanks for the cards Night Owl!

Redondo Beach, CA

 This pair of Wallach cards was sent by Austin of Redondo Beach, California.  Austin has been sending me cards for over a decade now going back to 2013, making him one of the oldest contributors to this blog.  This is also the second time this month he has sent cards, as you may notice the previous post was also a card sent by Austin.

 The 1993 Topps Finest is only my 9th copy of that card, and the first one I've added in 3 years.  I question how scarce '93 Finest actually are.  I'm sure they're were fewer copies printed of them than '93 Topps or Stadium Club, but I suspect they appear to be less abundant than they actually are in part because of their perception of being rare amongst collectors.  I put 1984 Donruss and 1989 Upper Deck in a similar category.  I don't believe those were printed in any lower quantities than their respective '84 and '89 counterparts, yet people treat them as though they were.  I'd wager there are just as many '89 UD Griffey's floating around as there are '89 Donruss Griffey's, but the perception of '89 UD being somehow scarce drives up it's price.  On a much smaller scale, I feel like I'm sent far fewer '89 UD or '84 Donruss Wallach's than I am '84 or '89 Topps Wallach's, despite their being printed in similar numbers.

In any event, thank you for the cards Austin!

Redondo Beach, CA

 This card was sent by Austin of Redondo Beach, California.  By my count this is at least the third time Austin has sent cards going back to at least 2013.  I bought a ton of 1995 Fleer Basketball back when these cards were in packs, chasing Lawrence Moten rookie cards with my brother, but very little '95 Fleer baseball.  Apparently I wasn't the only one skipping on Fleer baseball in '95 as I don't see very many of these.

Thanks for the card Austin!

Kirkland, WA

  

This large mailing of 373 Wallach cards arrived in my mailbox recently courtesy of Craig, from Kirkland, Washington.  Included with the cards was a nice note.  Craig used to watch Wallach play in the Alaskan Summer League back when Wallach was playing at Cal-St. Fullerton.  I assume that's why he had so many Wallach cards to send.  Or he was just an enormous fan of 1990 Fleer.

It was a Fleer heavy assortment as you can see, with a few others mixed in.  The 1988 Box Bottoms are always a welcomed addition.

Aside from Topps, which suffers from poor photo selection (the Wallach card, not the set), 1991 was a terrific year for Wallach cards.  Two each in Donruss and Upper Deck, and all four of them are great looking cards (with Gary Carter making a welcome cameo in the Donruss base card), and 1991 Fleer being one of my all-time favorite designs and nailing the photo with a nice clear picture.  This box was loaded with 91's.

I've always found 1989 Score to be oddly elusive.  It's a card I've always really liked and never pass on an opportunity to buy in bulk when it's available, but it's just not readily available in large quantities very often.  There were 33 copies of it in this mailing, which was a pleasant surprise to find.

That's 21 copies of 1988 Topps Big above, which may be the most of that card that I've ever added at once.  Thanks for the cards Craig.  They're greatly appreciated.

Lake Barrington, IL

  

These 12 cards were sent by regular contributor "Storms."  By my count this is at least the 8th time Storms has sent cards.  The highlights here are the 1984 O-Pee-Chee, and 1988 Fleer Box Bottom.  The '88 Fleer Box Bottom serves as a great example of how important photo selection is.  I much prefer it to the Wallach in the '88 Fleer base set.  The box bottom photo selection makes the entire design of the card look better. 

Thanks for the cards "Storms!"

These 20 cards were sent by "Mick" of Orlando, Florida.  I believe this is the first time Mick has sent cards.  I'd remiss not to mention what nice shape these cards all arrived in.  I'm not one for the figure scale grading system that uses numbers and slabs cards in goofy over sized cases, but on the traditional scale, these are all NM or as close to Mint as one could hope for.  Included in the bunch was a '92 O-Pee-Chee, which isn't a card I see very often.

Thanks for the cards Mick!

Thanks for the cards Mark!

Ottawa, Ontario

These 7 cards (stickers) were sent by frequent contributor Angus, of Ottawa, Ontario.  The '91 Panini French sticker is only my 2nd copy of that card.  Tracking down my first copy of it was incredibly difficult and ended up being the last "regular" Wallach card I obtained.  It spent years on my "Most Wanted" list, and was the only non-insert/variation on the list, unless you count O-Pee-Chee tattoos as a "regular" issued card.  I don't, and I picked up one of those prior to the '91 Panini French regardless.  Which is all to say, I don't see very many of them.

Thanks for the cards Angus!

These 9 cards were sent by "Chies" of Eden Prairie, Minnesota.  They were actually sent in 2022, but when I was doing my year end posting and tallies, I somehow missed this envelope.  Rather than redo all the numbers, I'm simply going to count it towards 2023.  I believe this is the second time "Chies" has sent cards.  I'm less sure that I have the name right as the writing on the envelopes has been difficult to read.  The 1989 OPC Sticker is only my second copy of that card.

2022 Year in Review

2022 Year in Review

There wasn't a lot of "Tim Wallach" related news in 2022.  No new cards were made of Wallach, and Topps even snubbed Chad Wallach from their 2022 sets, despite Chad once again spending a decent amount of time in the Majors with the Angels.

On a personal level, I finally made it to Dodger Stadium, taking in a pair of games during the Dodger's last home stand of the season on a Friday night and Saturday afternoon.  For Friday night I was able to find seats in the first row on the right field wall.  That's me above in the blue Expos jersey.  Below are a pair of pictures from my seats, one from the Friday night game and one from the Saturday afternoon game, a few rows further back.  Mookie Betts to his endless credit, tossed a ball to a kid between each inning Friday night (he took Saturday afternoon off).  For a Red Sock, or former Red Sock (do you ever really live that down?), I guess he's not a bad guy.

Dodger Stadium had long been at the top of my list of parks I'd never been to, but wanted to visit.  It didn't disappoint.  I'm not sure when I'll be able to make it out there again, but I would certainly jump at the opportunity to do so should it present itself.

On the card front this year, I added 4,120 new Tim Wallach cards.  Thats almost seven times as many as I added in 2021.  I wouldn't say I was much more active in my efforts to add Wallach's this year, it was more just a result of luck.  On eBay I found two lots that were abnormally huge that really boosted the numbers.  Both were of 800+ cards, one of all 1983 Fleer and another of all 1984 Topps.  Both of those surpass the 656 cards I added in all of 2021 by themselves.  I also received several very large mailings from readers of 200+ cards, which really doesn't happen that often.  One was actually over 700 cards.  Stack a few events like that in a single year, and you end up with over 4,000 new cards.

In total I received 30 mailings of Wallach cards from readers this year.  That's down quite a bit from the peak in 2015 when cards were showing up on a near daily basis as a result of some publicity this blog received, but still about 30 more than I feel like I should have any reasonable expectation of getting.  In 2022 I received a total of 2,248 cards in the mail from fifteen different States, and two Canadian Provinces.

Speaking of States, I received cards from Alaska for the first time in 2022.  Alaska marks the 45th different state I've been sent cards from.  For those wondering Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming seem to be the states where people hate baseball cards.  If those states ever get their act together and send me cards, I'm going to print out my map and frame it...it could be awhile.

For the first time since I started posting this list on annual basis back in 2015, 1982 Topps does not sit at the top of it.  After adding over 800 copies of of 1984 Topps this year, it's fallen to the number two spot.  1983 Fleer was the other big riser this year jumping up to the four spot.  As the numbers show, I now have over a 1,000 copies of five different Wallach cards, with a few more knocking on the door.  Back in 2015, 273 copies of 1989 Donruss was enough to crack the top ten, it takes nearly triple that figure now.  12 year old me back in 1992 would be much more impressed by the site of this many Wallach cards than they would be by the iphone I post this blog on.

When over 4,000 cards get added in a single year, you're going to cover a lot of ground.  Of the cards I didn't add any of this year, none of them are all the shocking.  1987 Leaf (with 58 copies in my collection) was the most abundant card not make an appearance in 2022.  Other "notable" no-shows include 1988 Donruss Baseball's Best (54 copies), 1994 Leaf (48), 1994 Collector's Choice (48), and 1993 Flair.  1983 Donruss nearly became the most surprising card to ever this make list, barely avoiding it with only a single copy added this past year.

Welcome Back

 

The 2003 Donruss Expos card was actually sent by a reader and is only my 2nd copy of that card.  I haven't added one since I picked up my first one back in 2003.  The same goes for the 1995 Stadium Club 1st Day issue, though I know I see those pop up for sale from time to time.  I suspect the production numbers on the 2003 Donruss Expos run were relatively low as I just never see them around

Top 5 cards sent in 2022

  

Last year 1990 Donruss took the top spot on this list.  I received 9 copies of it.  1982 Donruss was fifth with 5 copies.  Needless to say, numbers were way up this year.

Top 15 All-Time Most Sent Cards

This list remains my favorite out of all the numbers I track.  I feel like it offers the best insights into the junk wax era and what people were buying, and to some extant the production numbers.  It's obviously not perfect, or all that scientific (as evidenced by the 1987 Blue Sox card that a reader was nice enough to send me 325 copies of a few years ago), but I still find it to be a useful tool, or at least, an interesting list to track.
