Since last week's post, we have seen the baseball playoffs move to the second round. Once the Cubs lost, I really do not care who wins the Series this year. It would be nice to see a team like the Rays win. By this time next week, we will have a clearer picture. On to the cards. Today's first package came from member charles hamilton.
Donruss Elite was one of my favorite brands back in the early 2000s. The Panini version is not quite as sharp for obvious reasons, but I have seen worse.
I will gladly take any Rainiel Rodriguez card. This is an orange parallel. He is the Cardinals #1 prospect , and should be in all national top 20 lists by the time the season starts next year ( I hope it starts anyway.).
The second trade came from member bplay24.
Topps added a Baseball Seams refractor to the Chrome rainbow this year. I admit it looks better than the Xfractor.
I was almost shocked to see a new image on this 2026 Chrome insert. Nice to see Topps does not save them all for Stadium Club.
It is rare for me to show off a card that is not a Cardinal or Altuve, but this Trout card looks so great. The red and blue border really matches well with his uniform. I doubt I have this card for long, as I have three trade offers for it already.
