These 310 cards were generously sent by Bill of Lutherville, Maryland. This is at least the third time Bill has sent cards going back to 2020, and this group will definitely move him up the ranks of the all-time total contributors to this blog.
The lot was heavy in 1993-95 Wallachs, a period that is actually somewhat under represented in my collection. That's probably due mostly to the large number of different sets that were being produced during that period. People weren't accumulating enormous amounts of cards from a single set, but rather a smaller number of cards from a larger number of options. I also suspect it's due in part to a lack of sentimentalism for that period, so people are less inclined to sift through boxes of 1994 Studio and 1994 Triple Play looking for Wallachs. I know when I am maxing out shipping categories on Sportlots, I tend to fill them out with 1980's Wallach cards rather than 1994 Donruss or 1995 Collector's Choice.
The three most interesting cards in this box were a 1990 Donruss Learning Series, 1990 Sportflics, and a 1994 LAPD DARE. The '90 Learning series was the first one I've added since 2018 and only the second copy I've added since 2012.
Bill, thank you for the cards, I really appreciate them.
