Tribecards from the Hot Corner - Part 3 of 3 - #collecting

If you've been reading along, you know that I received a large box of packs from Hot Corner Cards. In addition to all kinds of packs, there were stacks of Indians cards! I am VERY late in getting these posted and saying another HUGE thank you to Pat for these cool Tribers.

This is part 3 of 3 posts showcasing all the stacked Indians cards from the Hot Corner.

Lots of batting and fielding going on here. And, Swisher is still smiling. Hey, if I were on a Tribecard, I'd be smiling, too!

Yeah, check out that Al Smith! Sure, it's a little traveled, but it is still some great bit of cardboard! Oh, look, Waddell has taken center square.

Is it just me, or does Willie Blair look like he should be dressed as the "Man in Black" from "The Princess Bride?" He sure does look like Elwes.

Waddell opts for the upper right corner this time, letting Martinez do some more chilling out.

I have no idea what Perez is doing there. "Hey, look upward to your left!"  Meanwhile, Jacoby shows up on a couple different cards.

I am loving those cards I grew up with...

See that CC Sabathia card? Well, look at the next 9 cards and you just might find him lurking there as well...

Love the Cabrera "Hockey Stick kind" throwback card there!

Once again, thanks to Pat over at Hot Corner Cards for these GREAT Tribecards!!

Tribecards from the Hot Corner - Part 1 of 3 - #collecting

If you've been reading along, you know that I received a large box of packs from Hot Corner Cards. In addition to all kinds of packs, there were stacks of Indians cards! I am VERY late in getting these posted and saying another HUGE thank you to Pat for these cool Tribers.

This is part 1 of 3 posts showcasing all the stacked Indians cards from the Hot Corner.

As you can see, there all kinds of different years, styles, and players. I received stickers, serially numbered cards, commons, team stars and league stars.

All sorts of colors spring out as well: red foil, gold, and you'll see a green foil in one of these posts.

Notice the different sizes of the cards, too. While most are standard 2x3, there are several that don't quite, er, measure up - At least in size, anyway. In terms of being awesome Tribecards? Yeah, they more than measure up.

Sure, there are duplicates in here, but what do you expect with more than 150 cards!?

I love finding cards I've never seen and cards I've had in my collection for (yikes!) decades.

Some of the cards don't even feature players! Well, they don't feature the face, anyway.

That Prizm Perez is amazing, as is a Kipnis I got in here, too.

Thanks again, Pat! I can't believe you sent so many Tribers!! Wahoo!!

Tribecards from Outer Space: Cards from the Hot Corner!

BP_Weber (hotcornercards.blogspot.com) surprised me today! Sitting on our deck (thankfully it hadn't started raining) was a box and in that box was the box you see above! It is LOADED with cards and packs! Pat writes, "I would like to contribute to pack a day!" And, boy howdy did he! There are all kinds of unopened packs to be busted and the loose cards are going to be fun handing out to managers, too. This was a very cool surprise, especially since I am away form the house for a couple days for training this week and I will be away for all of next week. So, I plan to do some "Tribecards from the Road" busts to finish out the regular season. Perfect timing!

Sidenote: I did not get the cards from yesterday scanned before I left, so you'll just have to enjoy those when you see them in your respective packages. And, there is a nice stack of cool Indians cards (I will post about in a separate later post) that I was told are just for me! Wahoo!! 

Since we've got some packs to bust, I say we start right now!

How about a great big THANK YOU to BP_Weber for sharing cards and packs with the rest of the managers!!  Thank you so much for your gift. I am so thankful and deeply appreciate all the donations to the season break! What a fun way to keep our favorite hobby, er one of our favorite hobbies, alive and kicking!!

PS - I have no idea how HotCornerCards missed being in the Clubhouse. It has been added! My apologies!!
