A herniated disc in my lower back rebels anytime I sit on the floor for more than 30 mins or so. What fun you had! I love auction catalogs.

I should have prepared a better snack selection beforehand.<br /><br />JWilden27 - Maybe one day. I'd need to update my inserts/parallel binder first. Although I don't foresee that happening anytime soon.<br /><br />The Lost Collector - It's really cool. Weird set though. From what I read... the first three cards were box toppers... and the final four were standard size and only numbered to 500.<br /><br />Ryan G - I vaguely remember us having this conversation about how we sort our cards during the set building process. By the way... #1 is always face down for me. Has been since I started doing this in the early 80's.<br /><br />The Angels In Order - Thanks Tom! I should have some Angels for you after I bust the 3 boxes I picked up at the wholesaler this past week.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-18176485349364966082017-03-05T06:38:49.056-08:002017-03-05T06:38:49.056-08:00Dont ask me why I have them because I dont know, b...Dont ask me why I have them because I dont know, but I have the Bugs and Daffy holograms.

Now the real question is this: Is card #1 face up or face down in your stack? (Face up for me, now, but in the past I did face down.)<br /><br />I've looked through a couple auction catalogs. I might even have one or two in my collection somewhere - they're better than a Beckett these days (I do miss the articles and Readers Write from the 1990s).<br /><br />I love Comic Ball. I believe I have all of the baseball series, but I doubt I have any of the inserts/holograms. Nothing like a combination of my favorite cartoon characters and my favorite sport to pique my interest.<br /><br />I didn't know about the Irabu cards. I'll have to find some (or at least one) out here... hopefully. I've had a line for it in my type collection list but I didn't know what it was.Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-16881831870359364962017-03-05T05:27:02.628-08:002017-03-05T05:27:02.628-08:00Never seen those Ultra box toppers.
