BASEball

Before the 2026 Lot - we have a neat trade pick up from TCDB member richardd2764....a complete set of 12 cards and box of the 1991 The Colla Collection which is all about one guy...



A 7,500 print run means there are probable 5,000 of these sets left if you consider the attrition of time. Focused on a star of the early 90s Jays success - just before the big success.


Interestingly, only the first card has a serial number for the set (1921 for me), while the rest do not. We get a number of close ups of Robbie in action and posed form.

I wasn't expecting the box would be flattened and set with the trade, but it was, which makes this even more cool as it is a truly "complete" set. A good start into a day of baseball on the blog.

A nice run of baseball cards today that remind me of the BASEball lot. Not a complaint, just an observation.


Yes, I am still working on 1991 Upper Deck and Junior Felix prior to his Jays days, and Bo's dad are both cards I needed - thank you! I am not worrying about hologram variations for my set....that's too ADHD for me.


Love the park cards, and the fact I needed Atlanta is even better. The middle row actually are all needed for the Opening Day set build too - nice!


The 2022 Topps Chrome offering is one I have some of, but not working on, so these are all nice trade bait...


Except for the maker of the Springer Dinger - George stays with me, a second copy for the collection.


Not too bad so far, but would love to keep on the baseball roll.
