I Love The Smell Of Cardboard In The Morning Trade Mail

Regarding a handful of team bags full of cards, in a padded envelope, Tim hoped I could "find some cards I need". 
Boy did I.  
I also found cards I want, and cards I just altogether dig.

2003 Topps #41 Gold Parallel 0931/2003


2007 Bowman Sterling #BS-BW


1999 Pacific #7 Red
Came one-per pack.

1999 Fleer Ultra #36G Gold Medallion
Could have been centered better, but I love the gold background.


2016 Allen & Ginter #122 Mini Black


2016 Topps Spring Fever # SF-1


Tim Salmon selection
1997 Score #494 Goin Yard (center)
Can't identify this foil parallel, no Premium Stock stamp.


2003 Donruss Diamond Kings #155 Bronze Foil
One of the greatest card ideas ever: framing.

2015 Topps Heritage A Legend Begins #NR-2
I will definitely have to work on this Nolan Ryan subset.


2016 Topps Walmart Holiday Snowflake #HMW59 and HMW119
Snowflakes on baseball cards...ho-kay.

2000 Upper Deck Collection Sweepstakes Cards
Lou Gehrig 1927 Road Jersey
This is awesome because it's another variation that I didn't have.
My card is on the left, Tim sent me the card on the right.
The difference is that Tims card has a line on the back to enter your email address.
Mine doesn't have that.
Subtle variations, gotta look for those subtle variations.


Baseball Checklist Cards
Random sampling of a bunch of checklist cards included.
Hopefully I can complete a couple sets out of them.


Drew Bledsoe Rookies
Gotta list these, they are so cool, and I didn't have any of them yet.
1993 Classic Four Sport Acetates #6
1993 Playoff #295
1993 Upper Deck Rookie Exchange #RE2
1993 Classic Four Sport Tri-Card #TC2
1993 Classic Four Sport Power Pick PP8


Really great cards Tim, thank you.

  2. 1997 Score Salmon subset could be a Showcase Series parallel:

    "This foil-fronted parallel is available for all 551 cards, across all pack types."
