Topps 206 Mini Relic Booklet

I recently came across a cool Topps 206 mini booklet which I had never seen before. As it had Lincecum, one of the players I collect, next to Greinke, I decided to go for it. To my surprise these cards are not popular at all and I got it on the cheap.

Let's start with the back. As you can see, a little damaged but oke. It's my first mini booklet so I am happy to look past that ! These are apparently numbered to 99.

Here's the inside, 2 relics, a bat and a jersey. To me it remains a strange concept, pitchers with bat relics ! 

All in all a great addition to my Lincecum collection !

Thanks for visiting my blog today !

Topps 206 Box Break

Already a few months ago I had the opportunity to open a box of Topps 206. I didn't really know Topps 206 so for me this was a first. I scored some nice cards for my player collections and I will add the "hits" of the break to my Trade Bait List, so if you have any interest let me know !

First up, some base cards, Sabathia and Verlander. The base cards look oke overall but not a huge fan I must admit.

The set also contains multiple colour variations like these multiple Mantles, they look the same but they are not.

Here you can see the colour difference a bit better....

Lincecum was also present and here you see an example of one of the red, thicker, variation cards.

The box also contained minis !! I always like minis !!! Some of the minis are numbered and some are just a "simple" mini. They look oke-ish but they didn't blow me away like some of the A&G and GQ ones sometimes do.

The "hit" of the box was a framed mini Oakland Athletics autograph card of Vin Mazzaro, currently playing for the Kansas City Royals (although I admit, I had to look that one up !).

That's it, I now have plenty of Topps 206 for trade so if you are looking for any just let me know !
