Reader Tim contacted me a couple of weeks ago. We had traded some cards back in 2014 and he has been a faithful reader of the blog. He offered some Billy Williams cards as a thank you. I gratefully accepted and he sent the package.
What a package it was!! That's 18 cards from the 2022 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary set. I've never gotten an instant rainbow before!
The 18 cards are, left to right..
First Row: Base, Refractor, Black and White Mini-Diamond
Second Row: X-Fractor, Prism, Blue Prism
Third Row: Yellow RayWave (/250), Speckle (/150), Fuchsia Atomic (/100)
Fourth Row: Rose Gold Mini Diamond (/75), Gold Wave (/50), Toile Cream/Gold (/50)
Fifth Row: Orange (/25), Toile White/Orange (/25), Toile Cream/Black (/10)
Sixth Row: Black (/10), Toile Cream/Red (/5). Red Lava (5)
I can't get over how generous Tim was, with so many low-numbered cards. Amazing!
There are a total of 34 (yes, 34!) cards that make up the complete rainbow. I've found several more and they are heading my way, but Tim certainly did most of the heavy lifting!
Um.... Holy crap!! Extremely generous!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat's insane. And just the fact that there are that many versions of a card like that is insane, but, hey, I buy 'em when I can get a good deal on them. 18 of the same--that's two whole binder pages! Amazingly generous.
ReplyDeleteYeah I never got a parallel send like that. Pretty amazing. ... Some of the parallels in this set I don't like the colors at all, especially that yellow thing.
ReplyDelete18 cards of the same pose congrats
ReplyDeleteTim for the win!
ReplyDeleteMakes a beautiful 3x6 tile for the blog. He must know how much your readers appreciate a nice and complete tile. LOL
That's pretty cool of him to take the time to accumulate this many for you. That's what you call dedication.
ReplyDeleteVery generous contribution from Tim! And that's barely half the total? That's insane!
