Second Ron B Package of 2023

Last week good trading partner Ron B from the Trading Bases group sent me his second package this year.  Unlike some others, I knew the contents of this one.  That did not take away the excitement of receiving the cards in the mail.  Ron always sends a great mix of cards.


These are the first 2022 Panini Capstone cards I have seen in person.  Not that I was looking very hard for them, but there were none to be found at the recent card show in St. Louis. It is a very simple design on thick and shiny card stock.  The base is on the left, a blue parallel on the right.  The 2022 DK Artist Proof is numbered to 99.


It will be strange not seeing these 2 together on a field this year.  Yesterday brought news of Wainwright starting the season on the DL.  I hope he finds a way to win at least 5 games this year to reach 200 for his career.


3 cards of former first baseman who all won MVP awards.  The Pujols insert is a printing error missing the foil.  I doubt it changes the value, but it is a cool card to have.  The Goldy is a 2022 Archives red parallel numbered to 75, while the Musial is a 2021 Gallery green parallel numbered to 125.


The last 3 cards featured a 2021 Mosaic blue camo parallel, a nice 2021 Chrome pink refractor, and a 2015 GQ gold mini numbered to 99.
