I almost forgot it was Tuesday. Yesterday, I had a vacation day to recover from a great weekend in St. Louis, where I attended the Cardinals Winter Warmup and a player caravan. I will have three posts highlighting how things went, but I will stick to my usual Tuesday post for today. First up is a nice four-card package of Cardinals greats from member k_knesh.
I have never seen these 2019 A&G inserts before this trade. Nothing too fancy, but I love the baby blue pullover jersey Ozzie is wearing.
TCMA cards do not seem to get much love, but I like them. These 2 are from 1985. The orange border on the Gibson card is a strange choice.
The second trade came from member madding, also known as Kerry from Cards on Cards. Kerry is a great source for Cardinals cards that I can use to get autographed at the Winter Warm Up. He also sent some other Cardinals I did not have.
These are my first 2024 Topps Heritage mini cards. Did collectors need another mini set? Not in my opinion, but as I say this I have added the rest of the team set to my want list.
This will not be the last time you see Victor Scott this week. I interacted with him twice. Herrera was scheduled to be at the WWU, but had visa issues and could not make it. I did watch a kid question and answer session with Burleson. I did not know he was such a funny guy. Great to add cards of each one to my collection.
Both Benes and Horton appeared at the WWU. I got an autograph from one of them. You will need to read another post to find out which one. The Horton is a Tiffany version.
Never seen that Benes insert before. Definitely screams mid 90's Fleer with their wild designs. It's so out there... I actually kind of like it.
