Cards the cheap and somewhat reliable way including stuff from @nightowlcards and @acrackedbat on a Monday.
It's late, it's Monday and it's been a bit. It must be time for another P. (Plain) W. (White) E. (Envelope) round-up. First up is a few things I claimed from A Cracked Bat back in December.
I don't really know why I thought it was a good idea to try to collect as many mini Allen & Ginter cards as possible instead of being satisfied with completing the regular set. These are always fun to look at, however, though all of the different flavors of mini ensure that no one can put together a complete set of anything unless they go the popular "Frankenset" route.
Jack Flaherty inserts just can't be passed up. Flaherty takes the mound on Opening Day, which is just three days away now. Wow!
Here's a whole collage of Ginter minis from the venerable Night Owl Cards. Minis were stuffed in all sorts of nooks and crannies of a couple of envelopes. This actually doesn't even represent half of all of the minis that were sent my way. See if you can spot the non-human!
Night Owl also sent a few regular sized needs, including the legendary Eddie Murray.
Last up is some stamp-themed stuff from The Angels In Order. This "stamp" card is from a set released in 1992 that I'd never seen before. I think these might be baseball card-sized reproductions of actual stamps from the island country in the Carribean (St. Vincent), but I'm not totally positive.
I wonder if four dollars got you a whole sheet of stamps or if each individual stamp cost four dollars?
I also received some actual stamps in the form of this fearsome foursome of 1982 Fleer stamps. These are very cool, although they are so thin that one of these almost got permanently lost inside my scanner. Yikes!
Those stamp cards are very cool, and that's an impressive group of minis. I see the non-human: it's the Bird in the bottom right corner ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm even having trouble completing the a&g mini frankenset version. It really took a hit in 2020.
ReplyDeleteThose St. Vincent cards are legally stamps and could have been used as postage!
ReplyDeleteLove those Fleer stamps!
ReplyDeleteMurray wins the round.
ReplyDelete(Got cards from you. Thanks.)
