Got some return fire from the Night Owl camp today.
Started small with a '23 insert and a 2008 Baseball Icon from Allen & Ginter sets.
Then the penultimate 2004 Topps All-Time Fan Favorites Mattingly. I'm down to just the Yastrzemski for the set now.
Always overjoyed to knock out another 2005 UD All-Star Classics insert. These are elusive. And there are a lot of them on my want list.
Greg sent the Dodger portion of the last few 2023 Stadium Club I'm still lacking. Between this one and four more that I have coming in TCDB trades, I'm back down to the one I thought was last before I went back and checked and found the rest of them still missing. (It's Alvarez from the Mets.)
One more chip off the SP list for the latest Heritage. These haven't been nearly as hard to get as older years short prints. Hope it lasts until I'm done.
And finishing out the batch, a second copy of the Palmer Sensations from the same Heritage. Did this design actually show up in '75 somewhere? I was just happy there was another group of retired players besides the box toppers.
Thanks to Greg for the list hits and the blog post material.
I like the All-Star Game boxscore insert. Never seen one of those before. Looks like an exciting game with lots of offense that year.
ReplyDeleteAre you only chasing 2004 ATFF? What about 2003 and/or 2005?
ReplyDeleteThose Heritage "Sensations" inserts pay homage to the Bay City Rollers set that Topps put out in '75.
Pretty sure I already finished the other two. I know 2003 for sure. Just down to the Yaz on '04.
DeleteThanks for the reference on the Sen's.
Yeah, Bay City Rollers set, which I never saw.
ReplyDeleteI don't know where that Hitting for the Cycle mini came from but it wasn't me. I've never seen it before.
Oh OK that was the TCDB trade I got the same day
DeleteThe Betts has a great photo!
