I know relatively little about most oddball/food issue stuff too, so that Church's card was a fun find!Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09644523735533872065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335025527445255390.post-83364628231738197492021-06-17T14:31:32.595-04:002021-06-17T14:31:32.595-04:00Wonderful Larkin cards!Wonderful Larkin cards!Jafroniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946965301520580238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335025527445255390.post-70550074635802171572021-06-14T21:55:36.060-04:002021-06-14T21:55:36.060-04:00Your player collection total are very impressive! ...Your player collection total are very impressive! I thought Verlander would be in the top 5 for sure, but the 80s/90s guys had more cards. The Church's Chicken oddball stands out among these Larkins, I never knew those existed.

For me what usually happens is I'll start with a single set or player, see what's there, and then get sucked in and add everything I can among multiple sellers, then optimize for shipping cost. It's easier to justify dropping $100-$200 on like 600 cards than on just one or two!<br /><br />Also, I hope you enjoy your little envelope. There's not a ton but I always like contributing to your collections where I can, especially when I can find hits of Japanese players!Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09644523735533872065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335025527445255390.post-80329409124203820922021-06-14T10:54:11.563-04:002021-06-14T10:54:11.563-04:00:D I was happy to find a few things at the last co...:D I was happy to find a few things at the last couple shows you could use, not to mention some more dupes in the collections we share.<br /><br />Thanks! Trust me, you'll get there on both counts--they add up! Fortunately for us both guys appeared on a LOT of cardboard in the 80s/90s when a lot of stuff was made that can still be found cheaply today.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09644523735533872065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335025527445255390.post-67234845769144606342021-06-14T10:52:38.901-04:002021-06-14T10:52:38.901-04:00Thanks, Chris!

Had a busy weekend, but now that I'm on my summer break this will give me something to look forward to. Should have it opened up within the next few days.

Now that I'm on break... maybe I'll go back and start the process all over again. Like you, I'll target oddball issues, parallels, and lower-end inserts.<br /><br />By the way, I came across a ton of 2017 Panini USA Baseball S&S... and was confused by the two different versions of Longevity in the box. At the time I figured both were inserts. Thanks for clarifying that one is just a base card.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335025527445255390.post-84740355819376536382021-06-13T22:05:44.296-04:002021-06-13T22:05:44.296-04:00Got your package, appreciate it.

I'm closing in on 600 and I've added close to 400 already this year from Sportlots, it is definitely the place to go for his cards. I've got more coming but I doubt I'll reach 800 and I'm certainly not reaching your Ripken count, geez!Jeff Lawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325109853869480569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335025527445255390.post-14405397217293221772021-06-13T21:44:37.699-04:002021-06-13T21:44:37.699-04:00So many nice Larkin cards!So many nice Larkin cards!Nachos Grandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02911007368272468591noreply@blogger.com
