Hit the Angels in a random team break. Very happy. Ohtani-heavy. Fielding Glove is 4/5.

1980 was the heyday of my football collecting - I can remember ripping these things open like crazy. Still have stacks and stacks of them. I know I have both the Lambert and Simms and Ottis Anderson card tucked away somewhere.

Green Refractor Autograph Jeff McNeil #82/99
Orange Shimmer Refractor Autograph Jacob deGrom #12/25

Tried my luck with another case break that was done last night. Pulled 3 Alonsos,a Cano Refractor,a Syndergaard Orange Refractor /25 and a Brandon Nimmo Autograph. Think my luck has finally run out and I'm done with Finest breaks. Some nice pulls but no Alonso auto

Definitely some nice cards -- could always sell what you have and pick up the Alonso auto??

I could but the deGroms are so pretty lol. I needed a McNeil and Nimmo auto so I'll keep them for sure.

I tried a couple on TheCardSwap on SCF (good breaker) and one from eBay user foxonsports. With the foxonsports break,he also sent me a fat pack of 2019 Diamond Kings.

I remember getting multiples of both of these cards in the fall 0f 1980. My first year of collecting. I remember the first card I saw for baseball was Don Money, which I had him sign about 8 years ago at a local show. For football it was Vikings punter Greg Coleman.

For my birthday in 1981 one of my friends bought me a box of 81 topps football. Several Walter Payton's but no Montana RC's

Pulled from a Series 2 Jumbo this afternoon. #08/10. Not bad, a week after that Soto (which booked at $120!).

Now THAT is nice. Somehing like that you don't care if there's a crease or 2. Nice and colorful.

Some great stuff to finish up June with -- and I may be in the minority on this one, but a nice vintage card like this one, will always look better and make me happier than the majority of the new cards coming out! Great pickup Hoosier!!
