Working through more of the nice 2020 flagship Topps set from the BASEball lot...
I will share a smattering of cards for each 100 base numbers I go through. I got another 85 or so, and some highlights of the base cards above and below.
However, let's focus on my real "wins" in this bunch....first the Jays...
I always figure Vladdy's a big enough star that his cards may be pulled before I get the lots, but we get a few copies of his base card here. Sure, it's not in the same numbers as many of the other base cards, but I'll take the few no problem!
Still, those are regular old base cards, but these couple snuck in...
Carpenter is an alternative stats card which, as you can see, are serial numbered to 300. The front is exactly the same as the pure base, so I can absolutely see why this would have been missed by anyone quickly shuffling through the lot. It's a first such card for my collection and a nice surprise.
The other, the Bauer, is a short printed base card and the second such flagship Topps short print to come out of this lot - sweet! Just another part of these lot purchases that I find so fun as, even when you think you know what you are going to get - a whole lot of base cards - it doesn't always turn out that way!
