Quick Hitter


Five Cardinals cards on a Friday. 
 
Here's a "quick hitter" trade post featuring cards from cards as i see them. This probably could have fit into a PWE (and thus, a PWE round-up post) were it not for the chunky style card at the end of this post.


If I recall, Nolan Arenado ended up skipping the All-Star festivities so he could rest or something, so his card is one of the few in the set where he's not in his (ugly) jersey. I remember Jose Altuve not participating as well, but his card has him holding up his jersey in front of the Houston home crowd on another day.


Joe Kelly has probably been one of the more meme-able players to come out of the league in the last decade. He's mostly been a pretty good reliever over the course of his career, although he's coming off of a rough 2022 campaign with the White Sox.


This tribute to 1989 Topps came in the form of a slightly smaller die cut card as an insert in the 2014 set. This is before they decided to roll with the 35th Anniversary celebration cards each year.


At last, we've arrived at the chunky card. I'm sure that in some households, Triple Threads cards are piled high to the ceiling, but here at Cards on Cards central these things get special treatment!

  1. Triple Threads stacked to the ceiling? I'd love to hang out with one of those collectors for a day. Gotta imagine if they are ripping that much TT, they've got quite the impressive PC.

  2. Arenado cards always look good for some reason and like seeing them show off his defensive skills. Ozzie's eyes. Fun post.

  3. Joe Kelly certainly talked a good game when he arrived on the South Side, then he got hurt...doh!
