Traded for a Grail card

 My first mini collection, even before Bubbles, was Sunset cards of HOF'ers since 1950.  I have originals 

of all but three.   I'm down to two.  Made a trade for a 1958 Bell Brand Roy Campanella.

My Sunset criteria is year after they stopped playing with stats on the back.  Picked up in a trade for 69 Yaz Transogram and a hi number.

The other 2 cards I need are not easy.  53 Satchel Paige and a 56 Jackie Robinson.

Added to my Flip collection.  Pussy Galore flipping James Bond.

Another oddball.  Talk about a twinkle in your eye.

I've been also collecting oddball Griffey, Ryan, Ripken and Bo's.

A new parallel from Stadium, Bronze.   Anybody else notice that the quality of the Stadium cards this year has dropped.

Another trade for an Exhibit.

Bubbles, bats and Bob

 Saved by Topps Black and White.  Four different bubbles in one release.  Reminds me of the 90’s

when 4 or more bubbles were the norm.   

My first bubble for Pujols, a SP.  Was he competing with Yadi?

Stadium bubbles

 After striking out on Bubbles in 2026 Topps, first time no bubbles in years, Stadium Club comes through

with 2 bubble cards.

Here's my Stadium Club story.  I did not buy any boxes.  Went to my local card shop and he had bought a bunch of cards from a breaker that included 2025 Stadium.  I bought about 400 cards for $8.  When I sorted at home, I had almost 150 of the 200 cards in the set.  I was missing all of the Rookie cards.  After 5 trades with fellow TCDB'ers, I had all the rookies and finished the set.  Including the postage my set cost $13.  I'm not buying any boxes or packs this year.  

Still working on my #'d chase.  Down to needing about 37 cards to finish.  Still all thru trading.

While no bubbles in 2026 so far, the First "Bob" in many years.
