Let's Go Retro!

Let's first look at some originals before we get to the more recent throw back design in the 2008-09 O Pee Chee parallel set.

I picked up these cards in a lot win on Listia. I had a few of them already, but these are definite upgrades...

I hadn't noticed well enough that the blue border used here is much more of a true/lighter blue than the parallel which you contrast easily here when you look at the highlights.

Highlights:

Not only a number of 2008-09 O Pee Chee Retro parallels, but all of them are higher numbered parallels meaning of legends. Accordingly, you have guys like Stan Makita who actually has a 1979-80 card to which this can be compared. Really like the design with the more "proper" generation.

The rest
Keepers:

Nothing much to discuss here, just some more decent adds...

Traders:

The 2008 DOnruss Threads Roydell card is a Bronze parallel (serial numbered to 250). It is number 110, and unfortunately, looks like there are a couple small scratch like marks on the front, but still open to anyone interested.
