Ripping boxes

I recently opened some boxes.  A hobby box and a blaster of Series 1, two blasters of high number heritage and a mega box of Celebration of series one.  I have put together packages for some of my readers, they will be going out this week.  I thought I would share some of the inserts and parallels I got.  If you see something you would like let me know and we'll see what we can work out.  I am looking for 1990 chrome parallels of Tony Gwynn and Call to the Hall parallels of him.

Got a bunch of these.

Got four serial number chrome cards

Got a few of these.  Like seeing Juan Marichal, I used to have his Sports Illustrated poster on my wall in the 70's

The card on the left is a variation, it says white border on the back but the borders look to be green.

I would like to know if there is a Padres card like the Astros. I only got one Call to the Hall in everything I opened.

Got so many of these I didn't scan them all.

I got the inexpensive Skenes card.

Really?  

Several mascots but no Swingin Friar

And my guaranteed relic, at least the relic matches the picture.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

1957 Topps Non Sports

 I have started in on my 1957 Non Sports sets.  I am working on Robin Hood, Planes, Space, Hit Stars and Isolation Booth.  I managed to pick up a lot of forty cards for the Planes set.  I also picked up a small lot of the isolation booth cards.  The planes set comes in two different color backs, Blue and Red, I am making a combined set.  I don't card about condition, some are pretty bad. Here is where I am with each set.

17/88 for 19% of Isolation Booth

1/60 for 2% of Robin Hood

9/88 for 10%  of Hit Stars, this will be the third time I have built this set.

1/88 for 1% of Space

38/88 for 32% of Planes.

I was going to look for some more at the card show at the Oregon Convention Center but it was a big disappointment.  I waited in line to park.  I had a prepaid ticket but had to wait in line to get a wristband, then another line to get in.  When I did get in I basically  turned around and left.  The promoter severly underestimated the crowd.  The show was over capacity within the first ten minutes.  I couldn't tell what vendors were there or what they had to offer because the crowds were so thick.
