West Seneca, NY

 

This extremely large offering of 316 Wallach cards was sent to me by Brain of West Seneca, New York.  West Seneca is a new addition to my map of where cards have been sent from.  While the city of Buffalo is not represented, it's now flanked by suburb of West Seneca to the south and Niagra Falls to the North.



This a diverse and interesting set of cards that Brian sent.  It covers the entire run of Wallach's there is to be found ranging from 1982 Fleer all the way through the 2019 Topps Archives and is also a healthy mix of standard junk was and less common odd balls.  The 65 copies of 1987 Topps is about as ordinary as it gets (albeit, it's unusual to receive that many copies at once) and also includes rarely sent cards like the 1986 Provigo and 1991 O-Pee-Chee (1st I've added since 2015), as well as modern "manufactured scarcity" like the Green variant of 2019 Topps Archives individually numbered out of 99.  That card is actually one I didn't previously own.  I'm not a huge enthusiast for the the forty different variations of cards that Topps puts out.  My feeling is the base card is the "real" card and everything else is just a gimmick that no one will remember in another 20 years.  That said, I'm always extremely pleased to add new cards when I can.



For good measure Brian also tossed in a 2021 Topps Chad Wallach.  Thanks for the cards Brian!
