Speaking of Unexpected

 Only two cards to share from the 2026 Lot today, but that is because they were a bit unusual.

First up...



Not as old as one would have thought since this is really the 2001 Topps Archives release, but the card itself looks like a 1983 release. A neat pick up and one I am not use to seeing in these lots. Partly because the 2000-2010 date range usually is a bit of a dead zone for cards in these lots, or at least fairly minimal. Time will tell how this one goes.

At least I did also get an actual vintage card - though I'm tempted to put it as packaging material given the condition...


This is half of the 1971 Scratch-off insert from Topps. Given it's only half, and someone tried scratching the front, creating a good dig into the card itself, I'm not going to keep the card. Condition definitely matters less with age as far as vintage cards go, but not enough here for me to feel the need to keep it.

Very cool find in the lot though, and nice to see, warts and all as it is.
