Jeff's 800 Count Box

Yes, going to take a few days to go through the cards in this box, and the few loose ones that were with it when Jeff gifted me that bunch of cards not too long ago. I'd like to say I had some grand plan in how to share these, and that there's a theme, but today is the theme of "not the hockey cards".

I wouldn't normally keep minor league sets, but this one did come complete, so I don't mind keeping it then...


Some solid names in the bunch, though I was confused at first as the numbers on the back appeared to be missing cards, but everything on the checklist was accounted for.



That's a neat Rondell card - so young!

Also up was a 1982 Topps Brewers team set apparently. I took out the few I needed for the set build and the rest are up for trade. Below are the keepers for set builds, etc.



There were a few basketball/football cards in the box if anyone has interest in those...


The coolest set cards in the box were a bunch of 1982 O Pee Chee, a bunch of which are below. Would be happy to turn these into Bruins cards for Jeff if anyone is interested.


Last up, the non-keeper 80s baseball cards in the box. There were some star cards from 1987-1992, but I added those to TCDB if anyone wants to check them out there 

The bulk of the box is hockey related, so we can start into those tomorrow. 

I will end with a recap of the card related pick ups from my second Christmas (with my family) on Boxing Day yesterday. Not pictured is a sealed 1991-92 O Pee Chee hockey set my brother got me in trying to get something for me without knowing. The thought was great, but it is a set I do have. All good though and I will find a home for it.




 My mom didn't disappoint as she usually does, she provided a bunch of Timmies packs and the binder for this year's set. I really need to try and finish some of the past year ones, but happy to go through these and start another in the meantime!
