More Bubbles and Relics and Magnum

 Seems like fewer Bubble cards lately.  However the parallels are ridiculous.  New Topps have

over 20 to chase.  I will continue to acquire older parallels.






Eugenio still blows the biggest bubbles

A finished set and addition to Oddballs

 I recently finished a set that I started about 30 years ago.  It all started with this card.


This card started my "Bubble" collection (obsession) and is still my favorite card.
It is the only card I know of that has two bubbles on one card.
I also half heartingly have been pursuing the "Brinkley set" and finally finished the set
with this card.


After reading my last blog about Oddballs, Jeff from Wax Pack Wonders
sent me this "flip" card, which is along side all of my "Ozzie" somersault cards.
I hope to repay the favor some day.


Finally, my Relic card quest continues.  Here are some recent cards.





This card is a Mini.



This is a "Jackie" relic.

Will he be in the HOF

 My project of acquiring Memorabilia for all the HOF'ers since 1950 has progressed rather well.

Only 9 to go.  However, along the way I decided to start a parallel goal of Future HOF'er

memorabilia as well.   I'm over 6o cards so far with only 2 more left.   There is a lot of debate

as to Who will be voted in.   Some of the choices I made won't make it and there might be a few

surprises.  Any long shots you can think of?







The above are in, the ones below?

Football flip, Parallel Bubbles and Oddballs

 My LCS has lots of unusual and oddball cards on my weekly visit.   I found my first football flip. Vintage Bowman 13 parallels so far Billy...
