Football repack = buyer's remorse

It certainly has been a while since I have been in this space. Too many things keeping me away this winter. 

Good stuff has been accumulating on the card table and I have only scratched the surface of the collections I picked up late last year. The plan going forward will be shorter but more frequent posts. 

Today's presentation is NOT any of the good stuff, so let's get it out of the way. 

New to this town, at least, is a football offering from the folks at MJ Holding Company.



It was cheap, but I really should have read the back as they do not mention anything special being inserted into these packs. Here is the inner packaging, This does not bode well. 


I will spare you the descriptions, here are the cards,






The Bowers was so damaged that it is in the recycle bin. Drew Lock is a "Kickoff" parallel. 

Wow, there we have it. It makes me wonder if MJH is now ripping the packs that were in the tins that didn't sell and moving the money cards on eBay and dumping the base commons into these things. 

If anyone needs any of these drop a comment or an email from my profile. 

Thanks for reading. Back soon!

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

Panini Prospect blaster & some Facebook hockey

Image
 A quick blaster break today. I don't remember seeing this in the store earlier in the year so I grabbed the lone box today.  Twelve base cards and twelve insets and parallels in my box. A bronze (/199) , holo (Optic-like), and two greens.  Three holo ice parallels. Base insert and green parallel. Finally a name I recognize.  Blue ice (/299) and a base insert. Green holo autograph, unnumbered.  A fun little break.  ______________________________________________________ When the sale of my hockey card collection was completed I swore that was it, no more! Well, I saw a Facebook Marketplace listing that looked like a good deal so I went and picked it up today. I did a quick comp on these when I got home and it turns out I paid 10% of market asking price. I can live with that margin...even if I don't know what I am going to do with these.  As always, thanks for reading.

The week's mail

Image
With the chatter about another potential postal disruption I have been shying away from any substantial mail ordering. Just chipping away with smaller stuff on Sportlots and TCDB.  This week the mail lady brought these goodies.  Sportlots order,  These are three of the final four for this set. Stay tuned...  For 20 cents a pop I added these 1966 Donruss Monkees to the order. At that price they can be a little rough.  _____________________________________ Sportlots auction, 1957 Topps Isolation Booth for the type binder. A 1929 Player's Curious Beaks, and a group of 1990 Red Rose Animals and their Young.  This is currently a mystery card, and the seller had no description for it. That's the reason I wanted it. The card measures 1 1/2" x 2" and is blank backed. It is printed on standard card stock of the era. Checking the books and catalogues provided nothing. A Facebook group of mostly UK members bounced around some suggestions but none hit the target. ...

Chronicles of the week

What is new in hobby land here? Not a whole helluva lot. Family birthday events, summer home projects...you know the drill. I did grab a box of series 2 Topps this morning. The one positive is the number of cards per box, 84. That's decent. Other than that, nothing to get too excited about - run of the mill inserts, no numbered cards or SP's. I have watched quite a few Topps reels on Facebook and some cool stuff has been pulled!  On a recent trip into the city for an appointment I took the opportunity to hit a big box down there. Four clearance packs of 2023 Panini Chronicles came home with me.  This was the biggie from those packs, Take my word for it, it is numbered out of ten on the back. My scanner, other than needing to be cleaned, struggles with some types of cards.  The next pack had this,  This is my first Points card ever. I don't rip much Panini product so I've been fortunate not to have to deal with this. I don't mind straight up redemptions where I know ...
