Redemption package & a Bonus !!

So today I came home from a long day at work to find a nice FEDEX package !! A Fedex package for me usually means only one thing: a Topps Redemption !!

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 !!

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 !!

But wait, that's not all ! A second card surfaced !! Unexpectedly !!

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 !!

Of course the Kyle Tucker card is for trade (or sale) and let me know if you did know him already !

Thanks for visiting my blog today!

Allen & Ginter extra trade bait !!

In addition to the Cubs relics trade bait I showed a few days ago I have some more on offer after breaking a few boxes, something I do each year. My A&G Want List is also up so all ready to set up some trades !!! Let me know in case you are interested in any of these !! Note that in addition to these relics I also have plenty of inserts and base cards for trade !!

If you see something you like, well then offer me something good and let's set something up  !!!

Archives loot !!

Achives !! Well acutally I don't like this year's archives a lot. Still, a group break is always fun so I joined Chris' his break at Nachos Grande a few weeks ago. The package arrived last week and here is the loot !!

First up, two of the "hits" !! Yogi Berra in the best inserts of the set, Gallery of Heroes ! Babe Ruth was also present in this cool looking parallel !

Next up two of my favourite Yankees, Rivera and Sabathia !

Tall minis, this is a new version of the minis Topps is putting in every set it seems these days. I need to get use to these ones I guess...

Two more, or actually 5 more, Yogi again and a 4 Yankees card including Rivera !

Lastly, my random team were the Astros, they only have 1 card and I got three of them, all for trade for that one Astros collector out there :-))

That was another fun break by Chris, looking forward to the next !
