Affordable Breaks: 2005 Upper Deck ESPN and 2021 Diamond Kings

 Make sure you're tuned into Affordable Group Breaks on Facebook and his blog Cardboard Collections. Today I'll show off Red Sox baseball cards from 2005 Upper Deck and 2021 Diamond Kings.  Always been a fan of ESPN magazine cards so this is a great way to start.  As beloved as Nomar was, his trade helped bring a championship to Boston.
These are good looking cards though they lack a logo.  That All-Star uni Ortiz is wearing looks like it could be an Astros alternate uni.  Still bummed Manny's career path went the way it did.  He was maybe the greatest right handed hitter of our generation...until he got popped for PEDs.  Still fun cards and these guys helped end the Red Sox World Series drought.  These are also the only three cards in the team base set.  Why isn't Pedro part of the base set?  I don't get it.
So good.  So much fun.  And if you need anyone to take down aging baseball coaches...Pedro is your guy. 
Pretty good Bobby Dalbec representation in my 2021 Diamond Kings cards.  Good looking base cards.  This Sportscenter Swatch is technically a Dodgers card I think but I ended up with it and glad I did.  Lowe was a key member of that 2004 team, especially during the playoffs.  Fun cards and as always check out those links above.  You won't be disappointed with the prices and variety in his breaks.
