Ebay Pickup


I picked up this lot of 107 cards on eBay at my self-imposed standard of less than 10 cents a card shipped.  The listing made a big deal about there not being any duplicates, which isn't a selling point for me.  In a bit of a statistical anonmoloy, three different cards ('94 Score, '94 Upper Deck, and '95 Topps) all landed on exactly 100 copies with the addition of this lot.  This lot was pretty straight forward, a near perfectly cut '88 Fleer Box Bottom, and the two '91 Baseball Card Magazine inserts were the highlights.

McKinney, TX


These 75 cards were sent by regular contributor Nick, of McKinney, Texas.  He sent them way back in March, or February, or I don't know when.  It's been awhile.  There's been some re-organizing going on in my home for awhile now, related to having added a newborn (or almost a year old toddler now) into the mix last summer.  The result being, my card room has become more of a storage closet for what ever needs stowing.  To the point it's hard to get in and out, and more or less impossible to sort and organize anything.  Only recently have I had a chance to start moving outgrown baby items and whatever else was shoved in there to long term storage, the basement, garage, trash or good will.  So now I can (sort of) start the process of clearing a little space to see what has been piling up on the shelves and desk as far as cards.

Thanks for the cards Nick!

Peoria, IL


These 19 cards were sent by Tom with the Saints Prison Ministry out of Peoria, IL.  Tom has been a regular contributor for over a decade now, having first sent cards way back in 2014.  This batch was heavy on 1987 Donruss.  That's a card that has grown on me over the years.  I remember not being a fan of the photo when I first pulled the card from a pack back in '87, and not thinking much of it for a long time after that.  But somewhere along the way over the last 40 years and 564 additional copies, I've come to really like it.

As always, thanks for the cards Tom!

Williamsburg, VA



This extremely eclectic mix of 12 Wallach cards was sent by David of Williamsburg, Virginia.  This is by my count (which is admittidly prone to be wrong) the 3rd year in a row David as sent me cards.  David runs the excellent CardBoredem blog, which you should click the link below (or this text here) to check out.  David sends out his cards in the very nice cardboard mailers pictured above with the bash brothers on them.  One of these years I'm going to get around to having something similar done for this blog, but until then I'll just continue to be impressed by his.

Included in this mix, were 4 nicely miscut 1982 Fleers.  I've said it a hundred times before and I'll say it again now, I love miscut cards.  That may sound insane to today's slabbers, but I think they're insane and have a lot of other less diplomatic ways to describe.

There was also an '83 O-Pee-Chee (one of my all-time favorites), an '88 Topps All-Star Tiffany (a design you'll be seeing a lot of here in the coming weeks), and the biggest surprise, a 2003 Donruss.  I first obtained a copy of this card in 2013.  tweleve years later my collection can now claim 3 copies of this card.  It was part of a Stadium Giveaway 59 card set in Montreal and there just don't seem to be many of them floating around.

Thanks for the cards David!

Oceanside, NY

 

These 10 cards were sent by one of this blogs original contributors, Bo, of Oceanside, New York.  Bo has been sending me cards going all the way back to 2015.  Included in this batch was a 1983 O-Pee-Chee, a card that I don't see many of in the mail and is one of my favorite Wallach cards.

Thanks for the cards Bo!

St. Louis Park, MN


These 8 cards (and a Fleer Expos Sticker) were sent by Dan of Minnesota.  This is the third city in Minnesota Dan has sent cards from.  As fan of stamps (albeit, not a collector, I have enough problems, er, hobbies), I very much appreciate the stamps on this envelope.

Thanks for the cards Dan, and thanks for your patience in seeing them posted (Dan sent these back in July).

Chappell Hill, TX


I've been absent from posting all summer, and am trying to catch up on cards that have been sent.  Sean from Chappell Hill actually sent me cards twice.  Hopefully he hasn't been hitting refresh for three months wondering if they arrived.  Because they did, and here they are, belatedly.

As always, thanks for the cards!

Here are the updated totals:

Chappell Hill, TX

These 51 cards were sent by Sean from Cappell Hill, Texas.  Sean had previously sent cards from Salem, Oregon.  Like, a lot cards, to the tune of nearly 700 at once back in 2022.

So thanks for these new ones Sean, and hope the move went well.

Watertown, NY

These 27 cards were sent by the Nightowl.  A large portion of my mid-90's Wallach cards, as in, cards featuring Wallach as a Dodger, have been sent to me from Watertown.  Included in this bunch was an '82 Donruss, an Expos card, and rookie card at that.  Must have been sent to Greg's Upstate Dodger Depot by mistake.  There was also an LAPD DARE card.  These DARE subset cards are ones I've found it to be somewhat elusive over the years.

Thanks for the cards Greg!

McKinney, Texas


These 85 cards were sent by Nick of McKinney, Texas.  A regular contributor, Nick has sent more cards to this effort than any other person in the history of the blog, and by a wide margin.  A few notable inclusions in this lot were 7 copies of the 1987 Indiana Blue Sox card and a 1993 O-Pee-Chee.  For literally decades I owned a single copy of the Indiana Blue Sox card, one I bought in a card shop as a kid.  It remained that way when I posted about the card for the first time back in 2012.  Then, out of nowhere, a reader sent me 325 copies of it in 2020.  I didn't see another one until these 7 arrived.  So while it's total number in my collection may seem to suggest it's not all that uncommon of card, those numbers are misleading.  The 1993 O-Pee-Chee is only my 10th copy of the card and first one I've added since 2020.

Thanks for the cards Nick!

Lutherville, Maryland



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.

Arlington, TN

These 19 cards were sent by Mark of Arlington, Tennessee.  This is at least the third time Mark has sent cards going back to 2020.  It was a nice assortment of Wallachs that included the not often seen 1995 Leaf Limited and 1991 Classic.   The 1991 Score Super Star is another Wallach that I don't see all that often but sort of flys under my radar.


Thanks for the cards Mark!

Andover, MN


 These five cards were sent by "Crocodile Cards" of Andover, Minnesota.  This isn't the first time "Crocodile Cards" has sent cards, though he appears to have moved since last time.  Or maybe I just dropped the ball on adding it to my map of where cards have been sent from.  In either case, this city has been added.  (Check out his blog by clicking this link)

Thanks for the cards Croc!

Washington, D.C.

These six cards were sent by Colin from Washington D.C. (with an assist from his brother in Kansas City). You may notice that the envelope does not appear to be in mint condition.  That's not a result of over exuberance and excitement in opening it.  My parents have a new puppy, and during a recent visit, she got hold of some mail on my counter.  The cards escaped unharmed.  In fact, they're in as good of shape as any cards I've ever received.  Even the coloring on them is incredible.  On all of them, truly some sort of anomaly, or Colin and his brother ripped tons of wax as kids and only kept the best.  I don't know, but whatever the case, I'm happy to add them


Thanks for the cards Colin!

Easton, PA


 These 8 cards were sent by Michael from Easton, Pennsylvania.  Michaels name strikes me as very familiar, but I didn't have a marker for Easton, PA on my map of where cards have been sent from, so perhaps he's moved or I'm just confused.  In either event, it's always great to receive cards in the mail.

Thanks for the cards!

Oakdale, MN


These 43 cards were sent last October (sorry for the delay) by first time contributor Joe of Oakdale, Minnesota.  It's also the first time cards have been sent from Oakdale, making it a new addition to the map.  It may not show in the picture, but these cards are in immaculate shape.  I'm not a huge stickler on condition, but that's not to say I don't notice when cards arrive like they just fell out of a pack yesterday.

A numerical milestone to be mentioned, is that this represents the 500th copy of the 1982 Fleer to be added to the collection.

Thanks for the cards Joe!

McKinney, Texas


These 136 Wallach cards were sent by fellow Tim Wallach superfan, and undisputed world champion of sending cards to this blog, Nick, of McKinney, Texas.  The number of cards Nick as sent over the years is well into the 1,000's.  I have no idea where he keeps finding them, but he must have access to the best junk wax card shop in the country if they keep restocking like this.

As always, thanks for the cards Nick!

I have a few more post to get up before the annual "Year in Review" recap, but I hope to be caught up by the end of next week, if not sooner.
