I'm a big fan of Cardboard Collections: Affordable Breaks & Giveaways on Facebook. Colbey also has the Cardboard Collections blog. Check him out at both spots. The prices are great and he has plenty of fun sets to choose from. I like the ability to "stack" my breaks and finally had my baseball cards sent to me. So many cool cards. I'm going to just show off a lot of the cards and let them speak for themselves. This is a 1996 Leaf Preferred Tony Gwynn Stare Masters insert which is #/2500. Definitely one of my favorites.
While I tend towards my Braves and Red Sox the prices allow me to chase favorite players as well. I hit with Mike Trout inserts in a few breaks.
I love those Angels unis and Tim Salmon is a PC guy for me.
I had everything from metal cards, die cuts, inserts, numbered cards, posters, 1/1 - pretty much anything you can think of.
Plenty of A's from those nineties A's that I really like including PC guy Mark McGwire.
I think this captures all the different breaks I was a part of that got me these cards: 2020 Diamond Kings, 1997 Pinnacle Express, 2004 Upper Deck Play Ball, 1991 Studio, 1995 Topps Bazooka, 1995 Donruss, 2002 Donruss, 2002 Donruss Super Estrellas, 2005 Rookie Cup, 1996 Leaf Preferred, 2017 Honus Bonus, 1995 Upper Deck SP, 2003 Upper Deck Standing O!, 2020 Big League, 1992 Fleer Ultra
Great photo on that Carlos Correa card. These are both new offerings. The majority of the breaks are from older sets but these are just as fun.
Colbey is a Braves fan so I don't get a chance at picking Atlanta but being the great guy he is he threw in some for me anyway.
This is the 1/1 I mentioned earlier from the 2017 Honus Bonus set. Kimbrel is a PC guy for me so this is a really awesome pull.
That Eckersley is a silver parallel.
This is a very small portion of what I received. Going through these was a lot of fun. Never know what you'll pull and the prices make grabbing extra teams so easy. Thanks Colbey!
That's one diverse card lot! I love the concept of the "Stare Masters" card . Never heard of those before. Jose Lima had to be In that set.
ReplyDeleteLOL I could see Lima being in that set.
DeleteI've seen a bunch of Big League posts... but that's the first time I've seen the Correa. That's fantastic. The 1992 Ultra Stew is a great looking card too.
ReplyDeleteSame here. I hadn't seen the Correa either. Seems like that is one folks and Topps would want to show off.
DeleteI love those Pinnacle Xpress cards. I got a box or two of those really cheap long ago when my local card shop outside of St. Louis closed down. Got a pair of the metal cards, the name of the insert is eluding me at the moment, but they are big heavy cards. Still have them floating around somewhere. Fun opening.
ReplyDeleteThey are definitely nice cards. I know the cards you are talking about though I too don't know what they are called. We'll run across them someday and remember this.
