Pitcher and Catchers report

I got off work early today so I worked on my cards for part of the day. I'm a long way from being caught up but it's a start. Tomorrow we are setting up in Michigan City. I'm not sure about this show as there hasn't been much advertisement online and that makes a big difference but it's the only show around and we try to do one every weekend.

Sox were finally on TV today but I couldn't watch it since I ditched cable. It was hard knowing I could be watching and couldn't. The random felt my pain and gave me some former and current Sox players and they are all battery position players from 3 different eras.

These were both freebies for sorting for the LCS. Great photography and vintage look-a-like, can't get much better than that.

These were both freebies for sorting for Sluggo. He gave me a bunch of 1974's for my Vintage Collection and this one was in there. A great action shot in that set. That is my oldest base card with Fisk.

These 4 give me 363 cards of the original Pudge.

All those were more freebies from my LCS, are you starting to see why I do all the sorting. Each scan were at different times. The last card was one that I just scanned today. It was nice to get 2 different parallels of the Aces card from 2 different years. You can see the 2023 up there in the first scan, I actually completed the team set for series 1 already as I sorted a ton of 2023 for them.

These all came from Sluggo, you can see another parallel of the Aces card along with the Prism refractor above it.

These 9 cards give me 178 of our hopeful return to an Ace of Lucas.

I only got 1 card of AJ but I don't come across too many of his these days. Nothing too flashy here but you see him in the Giants uniform where they claim to not like him. I'm happy for that because that's how we got him.

This is my 259th card of AJ.
