No ida why he's so cheap but in many ways I'm glad since it made my "I want one card from each set" quest a lot easier.Nick Vossbrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04162939001181537887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-20438222726871469702020-03-21T16:23:36.355-05:002020-03-21T16:23:36.355-05:00I'm jealous, I work for the schools and we'...I'm jealous, I work for the schools and we're ramping up to support teachers posting assignments for kids to get electronically - some with equipment we're just giving them - and doing it all from home. I'm waiting for the whole thing to crash so I can have days off to make trades.<br /><br />Love the Maris Sweet Spot - I want a starter set of those so bad, and the Cedeno OPC - not sure if I have one of those or not.<br /><br />One guy you might check for unsung vintage heroes is Tom Cheney. He had the most strikeouts in a single game (in extra innings). He's only got about a half dozen vintage cards and some modern oddballs.GCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713246271197550543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-1894775084768821882020-03-21T10:24:30.975-05:002020-03-21T10:24:30.975-05:00Nice haul.

Lots of great variety. My favorites are the SI for Kids, SLU, and Kellogg's cards. But the 71 OPC backs are cool too. I need to hurry up and spend my last few bucks over on their site so I can request my final COMC shipment.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-24040107094190171662020-03-20T08:40:33.571-05:002020-03-20T08:40:33.571-05:00Lots of great stuff there!

The '57s are fantastic, and I have that Randy Johnson on my watchlist. <br /><br />I've been shopping on COMC a lot more lately, since it's been the only way to get my hobby fix during the quarantine.

My business will not close unless we're directed by the government to do so - or our work force becomes ill, or afraid to work. We are taking all the necessary precautions. We support the auto industry and production is quite high right now. Even with their closures, the demand for our work is still there. All that to say, I'm a little jealous you get to be home with your cards! Be well, stay healthy Nick!acrackedbathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05056658025780679689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-53518051747772631842020-03-19T18:32:39.478-05:002020-03-19T18:32:39.478-05:00Great variety of stuff!
