And honestly, from what I've seen in recent years, they can keep their expensive boxes to themselves.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043468725408104535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-15453311690188415282022-04-27T15:34:46.184-05:002022-04-27T15:34:46.184-05:00That Eckersley is hideous.

They got it, but the site says it may take until early August to get the cards up on the site. I thought they caught up???<br /><br />Was pulling '72 for DevGav yesterday and saw that I had three of those Ellis in Actions I think. maybe not as straight as that one.GCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713246271197550543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-88530579113950244782022-04-26T23:50:43.042-05:002022-04-26T23:50:43.042-05:00I love how all these different pieces of cardboard...I love how all these different pieces of cardboard give a sample of the variety of cards you can find and the moments they capture of a diverse number of big league players.

Even got to see him warming up up close. I got the tickets about a week before and at the time if you'd given be a couple dozen guesses as to who would start for the Mets that night, I wouldn't have gotten it (Dice-K was with Cleveland's AAA team at the time). <br /><br />I've toyed with buying something from Transcendent on eBay from time to time, but haven't pulled the trigger. There are things which aren't SUPER expensive, but still pricey for me.
