First a quick "boo" as the Leafs couldn't manage to get past Florida and it's another year of wondering whether this core can put it together in a meaningful way to get them to the finals, let alone win it all. Not much more to say about it than that.
Today, a start on what is likely about 4,000 cards with what is here from the 2020 Topps flagship base set, and I am definitely going to be breaking it out over a few days.
I do break it down because some o the cards should get a spotlight on them, and it forces me to slow down a bit and enjoy the set. I mean, sure Trout is a star and the first card out in the 700 card base set, but it's 700 cards. There are others to pay attention to here also, or at least to see.
I like the design better than the offering the following year, but not as good as the 2015-2018 stretch, and some of the teammate type cards I do like their addition, even if it is gratuitously done to just put stars in more times.
Though my preference is a horizontal name plate on the front, the vertical doesn't overly offend me here, and the photograph, as usual, is solid.
Not too shabby for the first 100 cards to be over 80% done in the group - would love to keep that up for the rest, but we shall see.
Luckily, I am not boring you with the almost 1,000 dupes in the first 100 cards, but it does mean I can help a few people get a good start on the set or fill some holes if needed! Just check TCDB and see if there's anything I have that you need.
Most important of course is, whether there are any Jays cards and yes, there are two....so how many copies of each did I get?
Not going to complain about that kind of number when it comes to dupes and Jays cards - sweet!
Will definitely update the line as we go through more cards from the set!
