The Wait Is Over

I too, was on the list of collectors to join up on Tribe Cards 2020 Twelve Days of Christmas giveaway. Did you get that...2020. The wait for the cards is now over, but in actuality I really wasn't "waiting" for them because I had forgotten all about them until Dave reminded us that they were finally on the way, in 2024. Life gets busy, and boy do I get it.

The box was packed full of the three teams I selected: Angels (obviously), Rangers (my local team, I was hoping for some Ryans), and Expos (mostly for Vladdy). Here I've pulled out all the Angels already.

The Angels cards were mostly of common stuff I already had, but here's a nice selection of some of the stuff I needed.


Including some Ohtani.


There indeed were some Vladdy cards in the Expos section including an always odd Power Deck CD.

 
And this is one of the reasons I chose the Rangers.


I never pull autographs out of retail, so it was a nice surprise to pull three in this box.
Especially happy for the Taylor Ward.


And surprise of surprises, a 1970 Fleer Iron-Ons.
One of the best Angels logos ever.


There were a bunch of these 1990 Pacific Senior League cards, which might be a cool set to chase if I didn't already have a million other sets I'm chasing.


And a really cool 1978 Papa Gino's Disc


Very happy for all the great stuff Dave, well worth the wait.

  6. Tribe Cards really hooked it up. That 1970 Fleer Iron-on is really cool. Don't see that logo very often.

  10. This was some real follow-through on his part, especially since all of the participants seem to have forgotten the original giveaway.
