4 in 1

It is always nice to put a team set to bed, even if the set only contains a handful of cards.  A trade package from TCDB member engine614 arrived yesterday that finished 4 sets for me.

For a long time I did not know about this 1996 Upper Deck Ozzie card.  Being able to sort a set by team name is a wonderful feature on TCDB.  One of the previous sites I used only listed base cards, not league leader or tribute cards like this one. 

It is great to finish a Topps Pro Debut set.  These 2014 cards show 3 players that the Cardinals picked in the top 52 during the 2012 draft.  Ramsey was the 23rd pick out of Florida State.  He was traded to the Indians in 2014, and has bounced around the minors since.  I believe he is with the Twins now.  Piscotty was the 36th pick the Cardinals received for losing Albert Pujols to free agency.  It would be nice to see him have a good year in Oakland.  He did rob a home run with the catch on the card.  Wisdom was the 52nd pick.  The Cardinals gained this pick for not signing Octavio Dotel.  I have followed him since his 2013 stay in Peoria.  He has climbed up the ranks to Triple A, but has never gotten a call up.  Good defense at 3rd, lots of power, but lots of strike outs also.  Wisdom is one of the nicest players you will meet.  No matter what park I have seen him play at, he always takes time to sign for the fans.

I was glad to finish the 2017 Stadium Club and Topps Archives sets before the 2018 versions came out.  If only I could say that for Finest, Chrome, Fire, Bunt, etc.
