Package Part 1 From #Supertrader Hoyle

Got a nice package from Mark Hoyle, always generous with cards for my collection.  Mark knows what I like and didn't disappoint.  He hit three of my "likes" categories so I figured I'd break this down into three posts.

Part 1 Angels

1997 Topps #24 Garret Anderson

At first glance I thought, "Why does this card show Anderson in a rundown between two other Angels? Hmmm, must be a Spring training inter-squad game."

Seriously, my thought process that far before I looked a little closer.

2013 Gypsy Queen Mini #270 Jim Abbott

2015 Gypsy Queen Mini #49 Albert Pujols

I don't have enough minis in my Angels collection.

I know there are a ton of Angels mini's out there, I just don't have all the team sets yet.

1966 Topps 50th Anniversary Buyback #280 and #173

I literally hopped up and down when I saw these.

I have so few, I think these are my third and fourth, that when I get one I am super stoked.

I am super stoked.

Donruss 1986 All-Stars jumbo #46

Love these and hate these.

Well more like 80/20

Love them for their odd-ballness and for the team set,

hate them because I have to go get special pages for them.

And ALL of the rest of the Angels:

That 1990 Classic Yellow is my favorite design of the classic series, although the pink and the 1987 yellow versions are pretty close.

I keep meaning to do a team set check on those 1994 Upper Deck All-Time Heroes, I know I (now) have a handful of different cards.

Fun Fact: For you newbies to collecting, look for the GOLD Medallion on Fleer Ultra cards

(like on the Mark Langston card).

They were a randomly inserted parallel versions of the base cards, and putting a team set together can be difficult.

Good stuff Mark.
