Jerseys And New Yorkers

Still making like detectives and opening the case.  Gonna close it out with this post, since there are six boxes to go.  Too few to split into two posts, so I'm gonna go a bit quicker.

So far our insert/parallel/box topper piles look like this.

Box 4

Starting us off, Michael Jack Schmidt box topper.

Nothing really amazing in the parallels - white and shiny New Yorkers.  This is a recurring theme for a bit...

A slightly skewed shot of the hit - Eloy white swatch.  Hit Location - Last pack mojo (Bottom 4th)

And the rest.  An OK box.  Not my first choice if I had to pick one out of the whole case.

Box 10

Let's see if Stuart can do better than mine.  Starting off with another solid jumbo.

Another regular Chromey.  Three whites again.  Nice to get a Trout insert.  Also pulled his short print, which you'll see in the next pic, but not for long...

Because it is also the best shot of the biggest hit of the case.  I wouldn't say it's a "case hit", but it's the most valuable one we pulled.  (Stuart is keeping it forever.)  Hit Location - 3rd pack 4th stack

The consolidated view.

Box 5

Alright, let's see if I can get back on track.  Again, nice HOF topper...

Color swap Curtis Mead.  Comparing to shiny version, but you see the difference.

Duly noted on the back.  And my pull....

Cool!  So glad it's a vintage player again.  I know a Pirates guy that probably wants this one.

Another Palmer that will go in my PC, the Apollo insert for the Space binder, and a shiny Gavin......Gavin?  I'll get second copies of the T&N and News for my set later.

This gal might look familiar to those who follow the Royal Family in the UK...She usually had #24.

Box 11

Resisting the urge to reference "Spinal Tap" here again...  

A-ha!  Another buyback.  Still don't like the stamp where it is....checking Night Owl's list...Dangit.

Zack Gelof "My Lawn" image swap...

Confirmed.

J.T. Re-al-MOO-To.  The Phillies wear grey?  Hit Location - Last Pack Mojo.

The Black & White borders performed the Heim-Lux Maneuver.  

 

Box 6

Cool shot of Brett I don't think I've seen before.

Image swap of Johan Rojas.  Swapping his name to Rohan Yohas would have been even more fun.

Charlie's Bat, mon.  Hit Location - Top 2nd

We ended up with two of the Ohtani Highlight SPs.  That's always nice.

Box 12

And finally...

This one already appeared on Night Owl's post about how there is so much '75 content on his blog these days.  It was the only one of the three he needed from our break.

Neat black & white image Jake "No, my sister isn't Jenny" McCarthy.  Though I can't say I like the orange and yellow with the colorless picture.

Another image swap in the same box!

And this.  Nice autograph from another Yankee.  

The Morel of the story is "the shiny ones aren't the biggest deal".

I could keep going, but there is no Box 13.  Sorry, Leyla...

Hmmph...

I'll probably do a recap post just to put things in order.  Thanks for tuning in.  Good night!
