10-cent Tribecards - Cards from Jenny Miller

On Twitter recently, @JennyMiller521 was selling cards for a dime each. I reached out and asked if she would set aside about 200 Indians cards and let me buy them. She agreed and just before my recent vacation/conference hiatus, I received a box of cards. I was finally able to bust it open and see the Triber goodness inside!

The cards are a mix of recent/current to older stuff from the early 80's and feature a wide range of players, making for a fun trip down memory lane for this lifelong Indians fan! THANK YOU so much to Jenny for her generosity!

Cards from Barry - A trade for Jack McDowell 1997 Score Premier Club

In 2017, Barry reached out to me after reading a post I had made about the craziness that was 1997 Score (linked below). He asked if I had an extra Jack McDowell Premier Club card for his player collection. To be specific, he has a collection of nearly every Jack McDowell card. At the time, I did not.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago (at the time of this writing), and I had purchased several boxes on the VERY elusive 1997 Score Team Set. For the record and for clarification, THIS is what the box looks like for the TEAM SET version which includes the Platinum Club and Premier Club versions:

The key is the arched "Collect all Team Set Cards" below the team logo. There were several team sets produced in this fashion. If you find a box WITHOUT the arched text, it is the "other" team set and does not include the Platinum nor Premier versions... Freakin Score, man... Alas, I digress... Often...

The odds of pulling a Premier Team card from a BOX is 1:31 packs. That means that there *should* be one in each box of cards. There are 15 cards in the team set. What are the odds of pulling the one card you are looking for? I have no idea. I'm not a math guy. Haha. As I busted open boxes, sure enough I came across a Premier Jack McDowell!! HOLY SMOKES!!

I was so excited! I immediately sent the images to Barry and we exchanged info so that I could send it to him right away. If you are familiar with my work, I am NOT a trader. I am no good at it. I never know what's fair or not, so when I come across someone who needs a card, I just send it. It's my way of keeping the hobby alive.

Barry would have none of that, though. So, he sent me a handful of 2018 Bowman Indians cards in appreciation! THANK YOU SO MUCH, Barry!!

Buckstore Cards Delivers Tribecards, Boxes for PAD Circus!

Hey there, everyone! After I got back from the conference, I had a box waiting for me. It was from Buckstore Cards (Mets) and WOW what a surprise!

Inside the box, we have TWO (2) boxes of cards for the PAD Circus: 1988 Topps Big Baseball and 1992 Fleer Ultra Series 2!

Not only were there two box of cards, but there were two team bags of cards. I picked out a couple scans worth just to show the cool variety of cards. There were many more than this in the box:

But, wait! There's more! Not only were there a couple stacks of great Indians, but there were also some top-loader Tribers!

WOW!! All of the cards I got were awesome! THANK YOU so much to Doug at Buckstore Cards! WAHOO!! Now, before I end this post, I do have to admit something to you: The autographed Andre Thornton is one of my favorites in the whole box. The 3d Thome is a very close second, but I grew up watching Thornton and I am still geeking out over that card. Super!

Oh yeah, is it just me or could Ashton Kutcher play Super Joe in a movie!? Oh, and how about Ray Liotta play Hargrove? Just sayin...

Stay tuned - a PAD Circus post with a pack from each box is coming up later!

Tribecards - Nachos Grande Style!

Back in early November, I received a box of cards from Chris (Nachos Grande). I can't remember if this was a gift, the result of a break, or some other wonderful alignment of the stars and planets, but whatever the reason, he sent me these great Tribecards! So far as i can tell, they were in no particular order, all mixed in together. That made going through them a whole lot of fun! Talk about a mix of faces, time periods, memories, you name it. Wow!

As you scroll through these, you have GOT to check out some of the stand outs: Grady Sizemore foil/chrome baseball card history; bright purple Carlos Santana; Sweet Spots; vintage; and the list goes on.

THANK YOU, Chris, for sending such a cool mix of Tribecards to the Henderson household!

Tribecards from Bo Rosny - Part 2!

Here is Part 2 (FINALLY!!) of the box of cards that Bo sent to me over the summer! I can't tell you how much fun it was going through these and finding old favorites and those players long-forgotten - not to mention those I had never heard of. Remember, I spent a LONG time away from the hobby, away from watching the games, away from baseball in general. To look through these with fresh eyes was very cool. Plus, there are definitely some I know I do not have and I am sure several of these will complete some of my team sets. THANK YOU so much, Bo!
