Last week, I completed my third 2025 trade on The Bench website. As I have mentioned before, the site has changed from a player/team collector group to more of a latest and greatest card site. There is nothing wrong with that; it is just not the way I collect or trade. I was able to complete a deal with member RBlais. He needed a handful of 2025 Bowman cards from my blaster box break. In exchange, I received a very nice mix of Cardinals.
It is hard for me to pick out a favorite card from this group of Bowman cards, but if I had to choose, it would be the Scott. It is a mini diamond refractor numbered to 150.
I did not have a Cho autograph before this trade. There isn't much to his signature, but I'll give him a pass since he's Korean.
Hard not to love a card that shows past and present players together. The blue sparkle 2025 Heritage Donovan is a great-looking card in person.
Two of my favorites together: Stadium Club and retired greats. The Musial is a refractor.
Nothing fancy about these inserts, other than the fact that I did not have them.
Last but not least is a 2025 Topps Celebration Confetti parallel for my son's Altuve collection. I am glad other collectors upload images to TCDB so I can figure out what parallel this was.
That Stadium Club Chrome refractor of Musial is awesome. Unique photo with all the bats. I'm sure there's a cool story behind it.
ReplyDeleteIt would be neat for Topps to put out a set like Stadium Club, with the backs telling the story of the photo.
