2020 Top 5 Things I bought

 Since there has been no product to buy, I have spent my money on other things, like the following cards for my respective collections.  One of my goals is to have a relic and autographed card from every player collection player with every team they've been with.  I made some good dents in this goal this year.

2020 Top 5 Cards I Traded For

 Due to Corona, transitioning all my undergrad classes to a virtual classrooms, and trying to get moved, I unfortunately didn't get to do much trading this year.  The trades I did do, I got some awesome stuff and was able to knock out quite a few needs for my set collections and mega collections!

5.  TCDB trade with bwill305 -  I got this card to help me complete this 2017 insert set!

4.  TCDB trade with engine614 - I badly needed this card for my MLB players from Iowa mega collection

3.  TCDB trade with 2822ams - Another badly needed card for the 2017 insert set!

2.  TCDB trade with The_Sandlot - I just love the way this card looks!

1.  TCDB trade with George Hayes - One of the cards I had always wanted as a kid, now I have it!

2020 Top 5 "Hits"

 Again, 2020, was a difficult year.  I wasn't able to buy a lot of product this year, because there was no product to be had!  It's been very discouraging, to say the least.  When 2021 starts, I'll have to ramp up the trades to get the things I need from the product I didn't get to buy for my player collections!

5.  2020 Opening Day Kyle Lewis 

4.  2020 Topps 1985 Topps Luis Robert

3.  2020 Allen & Ginter - I'd love to collect this as a set.  I think it's cool it glows in the dark!

2.  2019 Panini Elite Extra Edition - I had never bought much of this product, and I had read bad reviews on the internet, so when this was the relic I received, I was not happy.  

However, Panini made good and sent me this, so I will forgive; he's even a Royal!

1.  2019 Fire - my last purchase before Corona hit; this was nice because who was to know blaster boxes were going to become hard to buy.
