The good for now is that, sometimes the Santa Lot 20 gives a great 20 cards, and today is one of those days...

Not one, or two, but three Leafs is a great 20. Factor in two are new for me, one of which is a Sundin card, and it makes a great three. Add in another McDonald's card, and that's 4 great keepers.
The rest

I have all of six or seven 1997 Donruss Preferred cards, and as much as I don't like the set make up of "random" gold silver or bronze by number, I do like the look of these the more I see. A good example here is the Forsberg card - simple, but with nice shiny foil, a great looking card.

When you think Cowboy football in Dallas, you have to think of Emmitt Smith. The 1991 Upper Deck Team MVP card is a nice one, even if it is from the "junk wax" era and may have been well over produced. Great picture of him in his younger years. Add in another 2008-09 Fleer Glossy basketball parallel and even these traders are pretty nice.

Hmmm.... Preferred Leaf. That sounds like something one might find in the crowd of a Grateful Dead show.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, nice haul despite all of the craziness around you! That McDonald's card is especially nice.
