The last order I pulled in from COMC actually began before the New Year. I started nibbling here and there with some random stuff, including the #'d/99 set. I wanted to try and keep adding some recognizable names to the collection, and I think I did pretty well with these 3 cards.
As I was adding this 2013 Topps Museum Collection John Smoltz card to the collection, I had to figure out which parallel it was, because for some reason upon first glance, I had no idea (duh). When I looked at the last shipment of cards on COMC, the listing showed that this is the blue parallel, which I should have figured out quite easily.
Sometimes the brain just doesn't function well on a Saturday, you know? Cost was $1.25, a very reasonable add to the collection.
Why not a little football? I followed along with the Bills all season with my friends who are big Bills fans, and I'd seen a lot of Jim Kelly on the sidelines at games. I decided to see if I could get any of his cards on the cheap, and this 2016 Donruss Elite green parallel fell into my cart.
Cost? $1.19. Another Hall of Famer to add to the group.
After purchasing the other 2 cards, I decided I wanted another basketball card to add. I also wanted a Raptor, as I was feeling a little nostalgic for my hometown, and something from the World Champions seemed like a nice pickup. This is a 2016 Donruss Optic Swishful thinking red parallel insert (is a parallel insert set a thing? I guess it is), #'d....
73/99. Cost? $1.35, the most expensive of the three. So,for just under $4 I have 3 more adds to the collection.
I'd forgotten about these to be honest, they were sitting at the bottom of a pile of cards on my desk. But as I'm slowly getting cards put away and posts written, these were found and behold! Another Saturday serial #'d post in the books.
Enjoy the hobby!

Big fan of serial numbered cards myself. And therefore, big fan of Serial Sunday! Really like the Lowry.
ReplyDeleteThose Donruss Elite parallels are really nice, I've picked up a few myself over the last couple of years.
ReplyDeleteAlways happy to see a Jim Kelly card!
