Soccer mystery box rip

 It has been a busy week at the day job and that has not left much time for cards this week. And now I'm getting "the look" and that means I have broken the rule. No leaving unprocessed cards laying around. Let's fix that with a quick post.

A little something different today, soccer. I went to the card aisle looking for the newly released Archives. Nada. This is what I walked out with though, 


It was surprisingly cheap. Perhaps mis-priced?



Perhaps it was priced appropriately. Clearly the Prizm blasters didn't sell well with this many packs dumped into re-packs. Here's what we got,





This was a quick cheap rip. I am not familiar with these players but as I enter these to my TCDB collection I'll research as I go.

If there is anything you see that you must have, drop me a note (see profile). If you need any base cards of the Prizm and Donruss let me know and I will check what I got from these packs. 

As always, thanks for reading and keep collecting.

A collector since my early years. Sometimes a collector without focus. If it piques my interest I may collect it.

    Cool pickup, especially if cheap. You got some cool cards in the bundle, especially the Zero-Gravity card. I had never seen that design before.

Sunday chores Chronicled

A quick Sunday post with nothing of real substance because its been a day of house repairs around here -plumbing and caulking.  How do two sinks in different rooms develop issues at the same time? Demons...  My, er, reward was a clearance pack of 2021 Panini Chronicles Football. Timely I reckon for week 18.  The pack wrapper had a huge ugly clearance sticker on it, so no picture.   Here are the base cards, The base cards are quite decent. Nice layout and good card stock. Here are the inserts, Uninspiring. Enjoy the games today!!

And so it begins...

 It was a weekly routine for my brother, parents, and I to visit my grandparents just about every Saturday evening in the winter months. Watch some Toronto Maple Leafs action and get caught up on life and such.  For some reason (out of the ordinary) on the way home we stopped at a variety store. This was one of the items dad bought, for me. I had never seen this before. Dad knew that as a 7 year old hockey fanatic that I would appreciate this surprise. What he didn't know is what he started. A lifetime of collecting.  1973-74 OPC pack.    TCDB image In the past 50 years, good grief , my hobbies have varied. Some were just fleeting, some are still on the periphery, and some have stuck. It is sort of why I chose the name of the blog. A little this and a little that. Cards, though, have been my hobby mainstay. As a dealer, show promoter, store owner, collector, and now a wannabe blogger.  I am not setting any crazy expectations for this blog nor my self. I wan...

The mail is moving again!

  Well, a few hours ago it officially became winter. YAY.  I am not a cold weather enthusiast in the least.  It's 3F/-16C here and I need to hit some downtown boutique shops for a couple of more gifts for Mrs. TnT.  The mail brought some spring into the house yesterday. What is more spring than Butterflies?  Baseball spring training for most readers. I promise to have some baseball content very soon.  In the meantime, 1938 Gallaher Butterflies and Moths set. These three put me at 9 out of the 48 cards in the set.     This card is from the 1911 Imperial Tobacco Co. of Canada Butterflies and Moths set of 50. I've got a ways to go as this is only my second. Some of these unbranded sets can be very challenging to identify as many are cataloged as "Anonymous". I would love to see an image of the album that is mentioned on the back. I'd say it must be nice, for the price. About eight bucks in todays money.  Butterflies and moth cards are certainly ...
