Garage sales


 There are many times when garage sales can be more fun and productive than Card Shows.  

Sometimes they don't know anything about the cards they're selling or just want to get rid of them.

The hard part is finding the right garage.  Last week I found one of the magic sales.  Here are a few of 

the cards.





Many of the cards were from the 2013 National.

Sunset cards

 The only possible Future HOF'er to retire in 2025 is Clayton Kershaw.  I will be pursuing his multitude of 

cards in 2026.  Meanwhile, here are some other non Topps base Sunset cards of HOF'ers.

1961 Golden Press, Sometimes it's hard to believe this series is from the early 60's.

Zero to go

 I finished my list of #'d future and current HOF'ers from 1950 on.  A little over 250 players.  I was able to 

trade for all except 1 card, Gaylord Perry.  If you look hard enough, TCDB has lots of common and 

obscure cards available.  I've made over 700 trades so far.  Looking for bubble cards keeps me busy

but I haven't decided on my next slice of history.



This was the final #'d card I needed.  It's a bonus when its both MEM and #'d.


This is also a #'d card.  1st photo quiz - can you spot Jeter?



2nd photo quiz.  Do you know this famous player?

6 more to go

 My quest for #'d cards of HOF'ers (potential and current) is down to 6.  I have a trade proposal for two 

and here are the four I need.  Joe Gordon has only a few numbered cards and all are SN 10 or fewer.

The other three are potential HOF'ers, Acuna, Judge and Ohtani.  Of the 246 I had on my original list,

the only one I had to get on EBay was Minnie Minoso.  The rest were all through trades on TCDB.

I'll always trade for Bat cards


New Bubble



I was searching my local card shop and came across this 715 card.
I'm always looking for Offer, game or misc stuff.  I never saw this one before.
Checked EBay and found this is listed as a 1/1.  The triangle on the back is a 
hologram and inside it is a tiny 1/1.  Surprised to find they are selling for over $100

Photos that could be cards

 Over the years I've collected Bubble Photos that would be great cards for my collection.  I'd gladly

trade cards to anyone that make custom cards for my Bubble collection.

The Bloody Lip

 Certain cards are famous for the picture on the card.  They remind us of the event and the impact on

our sports knowledge.  This card has recently shot up in value.



An occasional scrum still happens today, but nobody would be able to pitch with a
"Bloody Lip"


Is this an error card?  69 Topps Rub off on the base 69 Oliva.  The card has no edges around the Rub-off.


My first Hires Root Beer card.  It was my dad's favorite root beer and we would have root beer floats while watching Saturday's Game of the week on TV.


Rico would enjoy the Super Soakers of today.


Where's Waldo?  Baseball's attempt with Bazooka Joe.  Can you spot him in the card?

Customs from Gavin

 Gavin continues to surprise me with fun customs of my favorite Bubbles.  I'm happy to send him some

needs because my return is unique and fun.  Truly 1/1 cards.

Hank #'d



A HOF'er that deserves more credit.  Down to 30 from 246 with all trades so far.



This bubble is part of a puzzle
