Anyone up for some...soccer?!?!?!

No? Well - too bad, but I will put them off for two minutes while I first share another quick Value Village pick up. I went for a 20 minute walk with my daughter and whenever I do, Value Village is always a decent enough target for walking to and from. She ended up with a domino Dora game, and while we were looking I happened upon a $2 bag with some Jays team set cards in it. I figured it wasn't a complete set (I was right), but I did get 20 cards...




These are from the 2014 Swing into Summer Safety set. I didn't have any at all, so great add, and I love the Cecil card just for being that bit different with the glasses, but not surprising a few of the cards missing (Ace and Bautista...but mostly figured Ace wouldn't be there...lol).

Now on to the soccer...

Santa Lot Highlights:

Now we have only seen a couple of these, and anything "rare", I love to see out of the Santa Lot, so thumbs up there. The real question becomes....does anyone actually want these?


Not new, but only a second one, so yay for getting another.

The rest
Keepers:

Given the ones below, I thought I might make a bigger dent on the 2005-06 Upper Deck base set with these 20, but no such luck. Funny, if the entire outfit was yellow and purple, probably would have looked a bit better, not having the black. The card design purple helps pull these not so great unis together on the card. The Hasek Pog ain't half bad either.

Traders:

All three of the 2004 Leaf Rookies and Stars sets are needs, knocking it down to only two missing cards out of the "pure" base set. Otherwise, as mentioned, too many dupe 2005-06 Upper Deck - oh well...trade fodder I guess.
