TCDB 2 for Tuesday #101

I did not plan to post today, but I have about an hour to kill before dinner is ready so I thought what better way to pass the time than to write about cards.  This one will be short and sweet though so let's get to it.  First trade package came from member GoldenEagle555.


I have lost track of all the forms of Allen & Ginter.  Regular, Chrome, these X cards, and who knows what else.  Is there such a thing as too much of a good thing?

The Cardinals may be starting a different Nolan at the hot corner in 2025.  If Arenado gets traded, Gorman could see a lot of playing time there is he learns how to make more contact.  His power is for real, but it is hard to put someone in the lineup if he strikes out 40% of the time.

The second trade package came from member SirNailhead.


My 2001 Topps Archives team set is now complete.  This was a fun 28 card set to put together.  Lots of great names like Musial, Smith, Flood, and Boyer in this one.


A trio of random needs, two from 2023 and one from 2021.  Walker is the only one still with St. Louis.  Maybe 2025 is the year the Cardinals let him play everyday to see what he can really do.  He may not be a 35 home run , 100 RBI guy, but I think he can be a solid everyday player.  Just not sure where he fits in the field.  He is not the greatest outfielder, and I am not sure the Cardinals trust him going back to third base.

I wish everyone a safe and merry Christmas.  May Santa bring you everything you wished for.
