TCDB trade with cdorso

A single card trade, but sometimes, those are the best!

A little eBay purchase for myself!

I was helping out a fellow Twitterer.  He was selling some cards on eBay because of "rona" and his wife getting laid off.  When I was out shopping his inventory (and I was able to buy something; I'll post later!), I found this beauty on eBay, as well.

51/199

Surprisingly, a few PWEs from TTM requests

A few PWE TTM requests back, despite "rona" trying to ruin everything.  Hell, "rona" is ruining everything.  At my hospital, I have taken care of COVID-19 patients and PUIs.  Kansas City has been ok so far, but we are waiting for the influx of patients to happen.  I got one back from Will Smith that I had written off, and one back from this years brief Spring Training.

2019 Topps Fire

I stumbled into Target because I needed some Opening Day.  I saw a pretty beat-up box of 2019 Topps Fire, and decided to bite.  Not only was it $9, this was one of my better decisions!

2020 Opening Day

Finally found Opening Day!  It's funny...I saw the vendor at Walmart, and I asked him if he had any Opening Day, and he said to always come on release day to get some, because it always gets off the shelves quickly.  Little does he know, I DO go every release day, and there is never any new product!

The Packs

Pack 1 - nice fielding play!

Pack 2

Pack 4

WOW!  Pack 5 full of "hits"

I think Topps overdoes it with ballpark pictures, but maybe I should start a mini-ballpark collection  of Wrigley and Kauffaman Stadiums 

Foil, and of a PC guy!
