IT has been crazy times of course. <br /></p><p>So just checking in with everyone to see how everyone is coping with the Covid challenge, it looks pretty messy all-around. Luckily on my end all is healthy. Hope the same for you all.</p><p>As every post always needs some nice cards please see below some COMC loot from the last few months ! </p><p>Still struggling with the new blogger engine as I have not been able to figure out how to get 2 pictures side by side (this used to be very easy!), so any tips are welcome ! Furthermore, every picture is now much larger than they used to be when I insert them. Anyways, clearly need to make more posts and get the hang of the new set-up.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7Bdhq9nrky4/XzglF7iciPI/AAAAAAAARYw/MiwR4hGQZmE6yecpMOc5M63E4wsdi25HwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1068/IMG_0001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="752" data-original-width="1068" height="231" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7Bdhq9nrky4/XzglF7iciPI/AAAAAAAARYw/MiwR4hGQZmE6yecpMOc5M63E4wsdi25HwCLcBGAsYHQ/w328-h231/IMG_0001.jpg" width="328" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cG0fEbS1YlM/XzglF10_8TI/AAAAAAAARYs/y01pVta1MokFedmuwORcNnDYgeRys37oQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1040/IMG_0018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1040" data-original-width="756" height="328" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cG0fEbS1YlM/XzglF10_8TI/AAAAAAAARYs/y01pVta1MokFedmuwORcNnDYgeRys37oQCLcBGAsYHQ/w238-h328/IMG_0018.jpg" width="238" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T1JfDDIvkZc/XzglF-OWELI/AAAAAAAARYo/4-tfJLjCsgQWIj7pbaw99iAehO6Ab2qNwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1041/IMG_0019.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1041" data-original-width="741" height="328" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-T1JfDDIvkZc/XzglF-OWELI/AAAAAAAARYo/4-tfJLjCsgQWIj7pbaw99iAehO6Ab2qNwCLcBGAsYHQ/w234-h328/IMG_0019.jpg" width="234" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tvm8NWpy3lU/XzglGTGXd8I/AAAAAAAARY0/1E8EULHGr5U_4VNVxOaIfhBYVOcEe7bfgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1067/IMG_0025.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="786" data-original-width="1067" height="242" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tvm8NWpy3lU/XzglGTGXd8I/AAAAAAAARY0/1E8EULHGr5U_4VNVxOaIfhBYVOcEe7bfgCLcBGAsYHQ/w328-h242/IMG_0025.jpg" width="328" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RDJhAJtK23o/XzglG1X_XBI/AAAAAAAARY4/ivcq2bgEEwsBdxGlG2ujFV6c54-Zjxq6gCLcBGAsYHQ/s1064/IMG_0031.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1064" data-original-width="748" height="328" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RDJhAJtK23o/XzglG1X_XBI/AAAAAAAARY4/ivcq2bgEEwsBdxGlG2ujFV6c54-Zjxq6gCLcBGAsYHQ/w230-h328/IMG_0031.jpg" width="230" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BXUSLkFP6B4/XzglHWTLgSI/AAAAAAAARY8/IOxzAe1QxsYmZWP86UlT3MIy_vWc_UnfwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1044/IMG_0034.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1044" data-original-width="744" height="328" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BXUSLkFP6B4/XzglHWTLgSI/AAAAAAAARY8/IOxzAe1QxsYmZWP86UlT3MIy_vWc_UnfwCLcBGAsYHQ/w234-h328/IMG_0034.jpg" width="234" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>The Dutch Card Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15489067166405550871noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006338438521912608.post-39126599576823421992019-12-26T11:41:00.002-08:002019-12-26T11:41:47.347-08:00A Christmas COMC package !Happy Christmas everyone, hope you and your families all are doing well and enjoying the holiday break !

Although I was happy with the card I did realize that apparently Topps changed their redemption system and I likely lost 5-10 pending redemptions as their old systems disappeared. I"have tried several thinks but so far I have been unable to get the account information I need from my old account to tackle this with Topps...bummer....Tips to solve the situation are welcome :-) Anyways, here's my latest redemption card, a nice Bert Blyleven !!<br />
<br />

As a result, a cool COMC package arrived at my doorstep last week. Here are some impressions !<br />
<br />
First up, some Allen & Ginter silk ! Already a few years old but this one was still missing from my collection so very happy to have been able to get my hand on this one as there are only 10 around !!<br />

Overall, very cool cards and great additions to my collection. Still, miss a bit the thrill of opening Allen & Ginter or Gypsy Queen packs so I might need to revisit that old habit at some point !<br />

Hope everything is well with you !! Life has been hectic and the first thing that drops of the list is usually posting on the site. Nevertheless, I have been continuing chasing my collection of mostly Glavine and Blyleven in the last months, mostly through eBay and COMC. Furthermore, on a trip to London last week I saw a Topps pack at the airport called "The London Series", in honor of the series between the Yankees and the Red Sox in London, so I picked it up to share with you all ! Here are some of the highlights !<br />
<br />
First-up, 2 pitchers: Sale and Sabathia, with Sabathia doing his last round this season.<br />
<br />

<br />
Furthermore, the pack contained several "Rules of the Game" cards. These rules seem pretty basic but maybe useful for people in London that do't know baseball !!<br />

Anyways, a few more cards in the pack which I won't show but assume you get the drift of the pack. Great to be back for a bit. Hope to post in the coming weeks about a great COMC package I received last week !!<br />
<br />
Hope everyone is doing well and hope everybody did not remove me just yet from their blog rolls !! <br />

However, when a nice COMC package arrived with a unique card I did want to share it with you all !<br />
<br />
I noticed this card on eBay. Apparently, the 2014 Topps Museum Collection had a set that included handprints. Of course, if this set includes a Glavine the chase is on !<br />
<br />
After a round-trip through COMC here's my first Handprint card, in full A4 size !! <br />

<br />
As you can see, they threw in an auto and a bat-relic as well to finish the job (although not from any specific game, event or season of course :-) !<br />
<br />
Thanks and hope you all are doing well. <br />

Once every few months I have COMC deliver all my eBay loot to me as I use them as my US mailbox. At least for now as they have graudally increased the price per card from $0.50 to $2 or more per card I noticed recently. Anyways, here's a few cards from the package !<br />
<br />
First up, a Topps Luminaries Glavine card. Topps did a good job creating this set ! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mpwGa5bnO9M/Wpl2TE_usmI/AAAAAAAAQUU/ZeJDKc4yzs0Z0redfJRJrgxU3zlid4yrgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="1308" height="211" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mpwGa5bnO9M/Wpl2TE_usmI/AAAAAAAAQUU/ZeJDKc4yzs0Z0redfJRJrgxU3zlid4yrgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0003.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Next up, 2 Topps Archives cards, Glavines of course. I have mixed feelings about this set. I liked it a few years ago but now it feels like a simply money making machine with little new or special coming out of it...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SOQb2-xCfjA/Wpl2y2TAadI/AAAAAAAAQUc/q3-JYV4N-RcERelro6uwmFwElgTycZ0aQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1288" data-original-width="852" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SOQb2-xCfjA/Wpl2y2TAadI/AAAAAAAAQUc/q3-JYV4N-RcERelro6uwmFwElgTycZ0aQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0014.jpg" width="211" /></a><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iJ9xAxnKHHc/Wpl2y85GfrI/AAAAAAAAQUg/ijL_zCsOY7Ulj_8q2I7B_Nl2Vvgtx6mvgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1316" data-original-width="856" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iJ9xAxnKHHc/Wpl2y85GfrI/AAAAAAAAQUg/ijL_zCsOY7Ulj_8q2I7B_Nl2Vvgtx6mvgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0010.jpg" width="208" /></a></div>
<br />
Next up, a new addition to my Blyleven collection !!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EVuNM2okMX4/Wpl29jZmqwI/AAAAAAAAQUk/5XynIp4BAfkuKSHBcFyyqqLjDqt4EEqbwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0032.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1040" data-original-width="732" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EVuNM2okMX4/Wpl29jZmqwI/AAAAAAAAQUk/5XynIp4BAfkuKSHBcFyyqqLjDqt4EEqbwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0032.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<br />
Lastly, 2 more Glavine cards, a very cool A&G signed mini, for me still the best set from Topps each year. Also another printing plate for me Glavine collection !!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
All in all a nice bunch of cards for my ever growing <a href="http://europeanbaseballcardcollector.blogspot.nl/p/glavine-pc.html" target="_blank">Glavine collection</a> !<br />
<br />
Thanks for visiting my blog, hope you all are doing well !!<br />

Therefore, I was happily suprised when Sam at <a href="http://www.thedailydimwit.com/" target="_blank">TheDailyDimwit</a> contacted my asking for my address. Apparently, he still had some cards from 1 or 2 years ago that had my earmark on it !! Of course I quickly provided him with my new address after my recent move and last week a yellow envelop arrived !! Sam has been one of my first trading partners when I started collecting and if I remember correctly he was the first one that let a unknown European guy into his "box breaks". I am still very thankful for that as it lead to more people that were happy to deal with me !<br />
<br />
Anyways, I know you all want to know what was in the package ! Well here's what was in it !<br />
<br />
First up,a cool Glavine UD Masterpiece card. I love the Masterpiece set and any package was a Glavine card is already an awesome package !!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nA4Zl3zyZWY/Wplz1CW-qcI/AAAAAAAAQT4/-ztCG4bxEOowaqg_u9-8-w8_hqUrq_WVQCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1052" data-original-width="748" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nA4Zl3zyZWY/Wplz1CW-qcI/AAAAAAAAQT4/-ztCG4bxEOowaqg_u9-8-w8_hqUrq_WVQCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0001.jpg" width="227" /></a></div>
Next-up, a nice Triple Threads Jeter card, just from before his retirement.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dXoEvYF7-xg/Wpl0GAowtNI/AAAAAAAAQT8/8H07SfC5OAob3vWhp_hkUmvpEiUNE47MgCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1052" data-original-width="748" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dXoEvYF7-xg/Wpl0GAowtNI/AAAAAAAAQT8/8H07SfC5OAob3vWhp_hkUmvpEiUNE47MgCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0003.jpg" width="227" /></a></div>
<br />
The last card was the card it was all about, meet CC Sabathia.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qQQLW7E2fm8/Wpl0i1npgrI/AAAAAAAAQUE/D9pmB-lFjik-WPDTrZ0HB7V86ioO4VqegCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="748" data-original-width="1048" height="228" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qQQLW7E2fm8/Wpl0i1npgrI/AAAAAAAAQUE/D9pmB-lFjik-WPDTrZ0HB7V86ioO4VqegCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0002.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I can't recall if I won this card, if I bought it and had it delivered to Sam or if I made a deal with Sam for this one. So Sam, in case I still owe you something for this card do let me know as my memory is letting me down on this one !!<br />
<br />
Sam, thanks a bunch !!!<br />

Again happy new year and I am fairly confident my posting frequency should go up in 2018 as is will be hard to be as low as 2017 ! Hope all of you are doing well and still happily collecting !!<br />

Only one place this package could come from, as my trading has been very, very slow, and that's CheckOutMyCards ! COMC has been my standard mailbox in the US to receive my eBay loot and although it has been slow in recent months I was still able to collect a bunch of cool cards for my collection.<br />
<br />
Here's what was in the package and let's focus on a huge collection of One-on-Ones ! First up, a cool Panini Pantheon card. A card with a button ! My 2nd button card after the 2014 Panini National Treasurers card of Glavine. Always a welcome variety versus all the jersey and bat cards. <br />
<br />

<br />
Next up, two 2008 Moments & Milestones. The sporadically pop-up on eBay and if the price is decent I try to get them. I still have some 275 or so to go :-)<br />

<br />
I was also able to get my hands on a cool 2017 Topps Tribute 1/1, pictured below. A really beautiful card. The Topps High Tek printing proof from 2014 is my second one of this series. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I5jw1_kcj-U/WY9Xm2pKLxI/AAAAAAAAQE4/cIbWJf_ioD4FeEmhgRwSvDnSkx3XQPtXACLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0010.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1049" data-original-width="749" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I5jw1_kcj-U/WY9Xm2pKLxI/AAAAAAAAQE4/cIbWJf_ioD4FeEmhgRwSvDnSkx3XQPtXACLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0010.jpg" width="228" /></a><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZM91gsk-CrQ/WY8yUvHCq0I/AAAAAAAAQEY/bZRfAy7N8oQSmDhwiXcr1-zocSkpP6wFACEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_0005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1040" data-original-width="748" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZM91gsk-CrQ/WY8yUvHCq0I/AAAAAAAAQEY/bZRfAy7N8oQSmDhwiXcr1-zocSkpP6wFACEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_0005.jpg" width="230" /></a></div>
<br />
Lastly, two more 1-1s, a printing plate from the 2014 Panini Hall of Fame Baseball set (Magenta priting plate). Furthermore, a 2004 SP Authentic card, a set in which apperently there are a few 1-1s for several "events", this one for 15th April 2003. <br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7wxaaYmkkw8/WY8zS1MUm1I/AAAAAAAAQEg/Gociah4vltsV75YMVMyTilwKue-aiO3BwCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_0004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1040" data-original-width="752" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7wxaaYmkkw8/WY8zS1MUm1I/AAAAAAAAQEg/Gociah4vltsV75YMVMyTilwKue-aiO3BwCEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_0004.jpg" width="231" /></a><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cifLy_xav2Q/WY8whEWpCgI/AAAAAAAAQEI/IyakNZSk65Er4o8IM0UWuqkdqptt7DD1ACEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_0016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1040" data-original-width="744" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cifLy_xav2Q/WY8whEWpCgI/AAAAAAAAQEI/IyakNZSk65Er4o8IM0UWuqkdqptt7DD1ACEwYBhgL/s320/IMG_0016.jpg" width="228" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
That's it. Never opened a package with 7x 1-1s so really happy about it. I updated and checked my file and I now just passed the 2,250 different Glavine cards mark, representing some 31% of all different Glavine cards. As I own 47% of all Auto cards and 38% of all relic cards I should be able to lift the average to 40% or so by simply expanding Glavine's non auto/relic cards. Looking at the 1-1s, I now have some 15% of all Glavine 1-1s. A lot of statistics but love to track the numbers !!<br />
<br />
Hope you all are doing well !<br />

Hi folks, yes, it has been a long time, way too long !! I have been moving house, work is hectic and the kids demand attention as well. So the blog has been suffering and my focus has mostly been on new Glavine and Blyleven cards through eBay and COMC and of course reading all your blogs. I think I don't owe anyone any package but if my admin is messed up due to the move do let me know !<br />
<br />
<br />
Let's have a quick peak at some of my latest treasures ! First up, my latest Bert Blyleven addition, the Flying Dutchman ! Yes a 1/1 button card from Panini's Immaculate Collection, awesome card and my first Blyleven button card.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Next up, my latest Gypsy Queen 2011 addition. Still a little side project of mine, trying to complete this set. A slow but fun grind so great to be able to add Bernie Williams to the collection !<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9rkBDgpBlQA/WWtHmeG0UnI/AAAAAAAAQCc/zpFGrQ6cqGMivMSBPjb9NBQOX_TECSO6QCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_0008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="740" data-original-width="1056" height="224" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9rkBDgpBlQA/WWtHmeG0UnI/AAAAAAAAQCc/zpFGrQ6cqGMivMSBPjb9NBQOX_TECSO6QCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_0008.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Last card is of course a new Glavine card, ffrom the 2008 Upper Deck Baseball Heroes set<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A Fedex package for me usually means only one thing: a Topps Redemption !!<br />
<br />
The last redemption I put into the system had already been months ago, if not longer so I was curious to see which card this might be. Opening up the envelop a Rizzo card surfaced !!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-O-VaRI_x2uk/WPenZnzFgkI/AAAAAAAAP_A/hrIgOTV96ncQL9dJqqh48yvGoX2juh8LgCLcB/s1600/IMG_0001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-O-VaRI_x2uk/WPenZnzFgkI/AAAAAAAAP_A/hrIgOTV96ncQL9dJqqh48yvGoX2juh8LgCLcB/s320/IMG_0001.jpg" width="244" /></a></div>
<br />
Wow, that one took a few years to arrive. This card is from the 2013 Archives set and is numbered to /25. Yes, you read that correctly, 2013 !! He probably signed hundreds and hundreds of cards in the years thereafter. Nevertheless, I am very happy this one arrived !!<br />
<br />
But wait, that's not all ! A second card surfaced !! Unexpectedly !!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-95QnXOKcof0/WPen2pULGGI/AAAAAAAAP_E/sg5K9kWbmRo7ElMmneIiQoWFbzrpZizvgCLcB/s1600/IMG_0002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-95QnXOKcof0/WPen2pULGGI/AAAAAAAAP_E/sg5K9kWbmRo7ElMmneIiQoWFbzrpZizvgCLcB/s320/IMG_0002.jpg" width="237" /></a></div>
<br />
Yes, it's a Kyle Tucker card !! Who ??? Yes, that was my reaction also, never heard of ths guy I must admit, a Astros Outfielder. Anyways, I happily take it !! The card came with an apology from Topps for the long wait (since 2013) so I was positively surprised, thanks Topps !!<br />
<br />
Of course the Kyle Tucker card is for trade (or sale) and let me know if you did know him already !<br />
<br />

I am still trying to complete the auto and framed relic set so this is a welcome one ! A cool combo card (a shame of the stickers) with David Wright and A-Rod. I am not a big A-Rod fan but still happy to add this one to the collection!<br />

Some cool cards for my collection. Last but not least just a, probably worthless 1/1 cards but I liked it a lot. A Rizzo mini card from the One Star Chewing Gum Company. I guess just made by some hobbiest but in any event a cool nice one for a couple of bucks. Do you like these cards or do you feel the card below is a fraud and hence you are ignoring and avoiding them ? Love to hear your thoughts !<br />

Thanks for visiting my blog and as every post deserves a card, here's one of my latest Rizzo additions from 2016 Triple Threads.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First up a cool die-cut Anthony Rizzo card that appeared on eBay a few months ago. I haven't checked yet from which set this one is coming from, might be Topps Update.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d5EjYZRS31o/WHoj-cwZF3I/AAAAAAAAP3U/QZLx54e6JkspWbhS7LAO12qFBNM4wEaoACLcB/s1600/IMG_0007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-d5EjYZRS31o/WHoj-cwZF3I/AAAAAAAAP3U/QZLx54e6JkspWbhS7LAO12qFBNM4wEaoACLcB/s320/IMG_0007.jpg" width="220" /></a></div>
<br />
I was also able to pick up two larger size Glavine cards. Apparently, Topps sells these directly into the market and these are not from packs. They have variations numbered to 49 and to 10. The ones below are the the ones numbered to 49. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Not sure what to think about these. They look pretty cool given they are
a much larger size, so something different. At the same time it feels a bit like another avenue
for Topps to get my money and I now see them popping up constantly for most sets, which feels a bit like overkill again. But hey, as a Glavine supercollector what can I do :-)<br />
<br />

Yes, a few days late but as you might have figured I am still swamped with a lot of other stuff, hence my lack of posting in the last few months. Just wanted you all to know I am still here, alive and kicking, and more importantly, collecting !!<br />
<br />
My Glavine collection has been steadily growing, as has my Blyleven collection. Kershaw is still on the way out (but still plenty for sale / trade so see <a href="http://europeanbaseballcardcollector.blogspot.nl/p/kershaw-pc.html" target="_blank">my Kershaw list</a>). I am behind with my Want list and Trade Bait as I still need to add my 2016 Gypsy Queen loot as well as 2016 Series 1& 2 and my Allen & Ginter needs. Hopefully I will have some time in the coming weeks to get up to speed on this one !!<br />
<br />
Hope you are all still going strong ! Rest assure (in case you were worried, of course) that I am still following your blogs on a daily basis !!<br />
<br />
As every posts needs some cards here are some of my latest additions ! First up a nice addition to my Glavine collection with Carlton and Zito as a bonus !<br />

I was hoping for some Cubs magic and Rizzo with some HRs but instead they are behind 3-1 so a mountain to climb.<br />
<br />
On the card collecting front I have downloaded Topps Bunt but not sure what to make of it just yet. Any of you active with Topps Bunt ? Any view on it, worth time spend on it or should I not invest in time in the App ?<br />
<br />
Anyways, I just received a COMC package. Here is some of the loot, a few Glavine and Blyleven cards !!<br />

So if you are interested in some of these do let me know.

One of which is Carice van Houten in Game of Thrones. I love this series and she plays a cool part as well. <br />
<img alt="Afbeeldingsresultaat voor picture game of thrones carice van houten" class="irc_mi i6kXOAehBTNs-pQOPx8XEepE" height="336" src="https://swordsandarmor.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/got-carice-van-houten-as-melisandre.jpg" style="margin-top: 147px;" width="468" /><br />

If I remember correctly the group break was for a few boxes of Finest as well as some boxes of Donruss. I got the Dodgers in the break and was allocated the Indians as well. Here's some of the loot !<br />
<br />
First up a few Corey Seager cards, both from the Donruss boxes !! The Elite Series cards looks pretty cool and is numbered to 999.<br />

As a result all my Kershaw cards are for sale (see above for my collection). However, a fewe days ago I received a COMC package which was still in transit. This one as well included some Kershaw cards. See below for the cards, all are for sale so feel free to let me know if you are interested in any of them.<br />

<br />The Dutch Card Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15489067166405550871noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006338438521912608.post-27189617155032162212016-08-30T12:01:00.000-07:002016-08-30T12:01:01.299-07:00Exit Kershaw !!<br />
So yesterday I promissed everyone some big news so here we go ! My break was a time to rethink my collection and the future direction of it. Of course I will continue to focus on Glavine and Blyleven, I love these pitchers and the outstanding base of cards are manageable and potentially reachable, no tons of color variations etc. As I do want to collect a current player I am continuing my Rizzo Collection. <br />
<br />
I have, however, decided that my Yankees collection will be toned down and only will chase some fun cards and that's it. An even bigger decision was to stop my Sabathia as well as my Verlander collections. I return I will focus more on sets like A&G and GQ. <br />
<br />
And now for the really big decision....I have decided to quit Kershaw. This was really the most difficult decision as I have been collection Kershaw from the start, when he was still to win his first CY award. Prices for Kershaw cards just have become too high to get much joy out of collecting them. Given that I have just moved house, selling my Kershaw collection can actually bring in some good funds to finance the rest of my collection and some of my moving costs.<br />
<br />
So there it is, the word is out, Kershaw is going to be out and some are already on COMC. I will likely only keep a few really cool ones for sentimental value (likely some of the A&G ones), everything else can go. If you are interested in some make me a good offer or tell your friends and fellow collectors. Given that I can use the money and there is still some sentimental value I am going to only go for strong offers (so apologies in advance in case I come over difficult :-)). Below my last Kershaw count, 567 cards of which 134 auto cards and 17 1/1s, still a nice achievement if I may say so !! All of them can be found above or <a href="http://europeanbaseballcardcollector.blogspot.nl/p/kershaw-pc.html" target="_blank">using this link</a>.<br />

am back & some big news !Wow, I realized this weekend that my last post was dated May. In other words, dated 3 months ago, my longest break ever !! Life got in the way with several big events. First I moved jobs which made life much more busy. This was quickly followed by the unexpected death of my father. Although we did not see each other much as he lived in another country it came as a shock to all of us. As you can imagine this let to a little bit of chaos in my life. This was also quickly followed by us moving house (so if you were planning to send me anything ask me for my new address!!). Wow, does moving involve a lot of hard work, it took me since early July to get up and running.<br />
<br />
Anyways, of course I kept following all your blogs and was able to leave a comment here and there. At the same time, I am very happy to now finally be able to leave a post myself to say "hi" and let everyone know that all is oke (except for my father passing away of course).<br />
<br />
My break also gave me some time to think about my priorities and collection. It resulted in a big decision, a decision I will follow-up on in my next blog post and for some of you this can be a big opportunity !!<br />
<br />
Anyways, good to be back and as every post deserves a card, here's my latest Glavine. A "metal" mini card numbered to 16 from the latest Goodwin Champions.<br />
