Foil Stamped Shenanigans and more 86 Topps.


My 2017 Topps Flagship Dodgers set still isn't complete, but I got a package in today containing the entire MLB All Star Game 2017 foil stamped Dodgers team set. Pretty stoked to add this to this decades flagship Topps binder.


RedTurn3 in all his glory.


Seager with the Iconic All-Rookie Cup.


This year's World Series stud, Howie Kendrick.


Man, I miss this guy. 


A guy I never thought I would see play for the Dodgers, but I sure am glad he did.


Can we get Alex Wood back in 2020?


Such a promising youngster who just vanished.


My boy! He is a free agent you know.


Joc may have lost his hat, but I bet he caught that ball.


This guy continues to exceed my expectations of him every year.


This is the Jansen I enjoy watching. 


Pure heart and adrenaline. Kike is combustible.


2017 Topps Update All Rookie Cup Piazza showed up in a bonus bag. 



As did this 2019 Archives Seager. Only 5 Dodgers to go for this year's Archives.


And a lone ttm return today. Barry Bonnell signed this 86 Topps for my set as well as an 81 and 83 Topps.

Valentine's Surprise from my Better Half

Image
The last week and a half have been a blur. I took a promotion at work a few weeks back and it has really taken its toll on my free time. I haven't been posting. I haven't been commenting. I've been a bad blogger. I've also been neglecting packages from TCDB. I have piles of new Dodgers just waiting to be shown off here. Valentine's Day arrived and my better half really outdid herself with these amazing Dodger cookies she got made from a local baker. As good as they look, they tasted even better. 1994 Fleer Pro Cards San Antonio Missions team set These showed up in one of my TCDB trades, as a freebie?!?!

Adding my Collection to the TCDB has Taught me Something...

Image
Over the last couple of weeks, I have been (rather slowly), adding my collection over at the Trading Card Database. Everything except stuff that really gels with me is going into the For Trade Collection. I never realized how much stuff I have amassed over the years that really has no internet presence. I think I finally have all the motivation I need to go ahead and get a scanner now. Some of these oddities have really cool backstories. 1995 Tonka/Kenner Star Wars Power of the Force Remember when Kenner relaunched the 3 and 3/4 Star Wars figure line as Power of the Force back in the 90's? Well, they also went into a collaboration effort with Tonka and produced some little 1 inch die cast figures. Those figures came in 3 packs and had these amazing trading cards packed in with them. No listing on TCDB. 2007 Topps Hollywood Zombies Bonus Cards Hollywood Zombies are listed on TCDB, but these Bonus cards are not. I think there was only 2 of them and the

1991 Topps... Vintage or Junk Wax

Image
The other night, I busted a box of 1991 Topps hoping to score the remaining Dodgers I needed and an extra Dave Walsh and Dennis Cook to send out for ttm. I wasn't expecting anything special as I had opened many packs of these back in 1991, but about halfway through busting this box, I was thinking "Wow! This is a pretty good looking set." The photography in this set amazed me as I just did not remember it being this good. It really got me to thinking about the legacy of this set and how its tarnished by the whole junk wax era. 1991 Topps is gonna be turning 29 years old soon, and it's not junk. Everything we love about vintage sets can be found in 1991 Topps. Hanging out with the fans and signing autographs. Throwback uniforms.  The Giants camera angle of choice apparently. Rey Palacios decides to start an aerobics class in the middle of a game. Collecting dirt and stirring up dirt. The all-time stolen base leader d
