Johnny (Johnny's Trading Spot) continues his almost daily giveaway of cards. Despite only commenting a couple times a week, I find myself winning yet again. One of the fun things about Johnny's posts are that he always finds cards from sets I've never seen, and this prize pack reflects that. Out of 6 sets represented here, 5 of them are from sets I had no cards from!
I'm not a Bowman collector, but I'm happy to own my first card of Red Sox top prospect Marcelo Mayer (aka the real reason the team let Xander Bogaerts sign elsewhere). I'm not sure what to make of the Donruss set yet, but I will give them props for using players who were popular but not elite. I'll always welcome new Dom Dimaggios and Tim Wakefields to my collection. The Trevor Story is the 3D version put out by Topps, and although I don't have my red and blue glasses, the card is awesome looking in hand. I've thought to myself that if I were ever crazy enough to attempt a completed parallel set, the 150th Anniversary stamp from 2019 would be it. Send me all your 150th Anniversary stamped cards. Finally, another On-Demand set card. Outside of Topps Now and the Living Set, I couldn't name, much less identify, any of Topps' other online offerings.
Favorite Card: Tough choice. I love the photo on JBJ's card, but in the end, I'll pick what is now the 3rd card I own of the "Little Professor" Dom DiMaggio!
That Chavis card is really neat, whatever that is should be a flagship design or low-end set instead of On Demand.
ReplyDeleteAlso, your Immaculate Grid scores are sick!! I was proud of myself for a 46 but... 18?!?! :o
That was pure luck on my end! I credit my collection of 80's junk wax for remembering the teams some of those guys played for. Also absolutely amazed Bob Gibson wasn't higher. If I ever beat that score, I'm playing the lotto!
DeleteI hadn't heard of that game before, maybe oneday I'll fin dtime to play it.
ReplyDeleteI'd bet you would do well!
DeleteThey're not for me, but I do like knowing that 3D cards are still being made in 2023.
