In a time when my
spending is completely halted as far as cardboard is concerned trade packages have
become a welcome distraction of sorts. I still have the fun of ripping a package
open, flip through cards and organize them. My most recent package has come
from Twitch, AKA Lonestarr.
It was an amazing
package that includes Mariners, Seahawks, Sonics and comic cards. All my
favorite things. There were well over 100 cards so I cannot cover them all but
here are some of my favorites beginning with the comic cards.
There were quite a few
Marvel cards with my favorite Marvel movie being well represented; Guardians of
the Galaxy. Rocket Raccoon is my favorite Marvel character and is one of my
secret PCs.
When I got back in to collecting
in the early 1990s I only collected sports cards but I was talked in to
checking out comic cards by my best friend and he introduced me to the early
Impel sets, this 2015 Fleer Retro took me back.
Next up is the DC
Universe with some 1995 Skybox DC Legends and 1996 Skybox Firepower Outburst. The
1995 DC Legends is a chrome set, here are Count Viper and The Baron and the
1996 Skybox Firepower Outburst is embossed.
There were not many
basketball cards but the ones that are included are perfect for my collection.
The first one is a 1994-95 Flair Steve Kerr, who is one of my secondary PCs.
One of the best Sonics
ever, Gary Payton, and one that would have been one of the best if the team
wasn’t stolen, Kevin Durant.
Since the card had a
printing error, it appears that someone accidently put the team name and logo of
a fictional team on the card, I fixed it.
A pair of Seahawks QBs rocking
the Elite design; 2007 Donruss Elite Hasselback and 2015 Panini Elite Russell
Wilson.
Shaun Alexander has been
my non-QB favorite player for the Seahawks and Paul Richardson has potential
but has taken off yet as a receiver but I do dig the 2014 Topps Fire designs.
I close with a 1938
Churchman’s Boxing, these cards are from England and I have a partial
collection but I did not have this Harry Mizler so this was a great vintage
addition.
I don't know if there was ever a better match: super heroes and middle 90s cardboard designs. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe vintage boxing card is an excellent score.
