Thick cards with Stripes

Kevin and I set up at the Plymouth show today. It was probably one of the better shows we've had there. I haven't compared it to the others yet but it had to be up there. We just love that show because all the dealers get along, we actually hung out for about an hour after the show just talking and joking around. The show is at a church and the table fees go to the church and the local little league so they also sell biscuits and gravy in the morning and hot dogs and chili for lunch. All the proceeds for that go to the church as well but if you've ever done any card shows, the worst part is the majority of them don't have any food available. Most of the time, Kevin and I go all day without eating. Next week we will be in Zeeland, MI which is about an hour and 45 minutes North of us. I'm pretty sure there is no food there either but we've only been there once to buy so we'll see.

I only came home with 3 cards today but I still have a bunch to add from this previous week and I've already forgotten what was in it so if I have more cards for today's post, you won't see them until I get to February posts.

Fred at work brought me this 2021 Flagship. I have most of the Series 1 so if I remember, this was Series 2. Fred has a knack for bringing me cards that I don't have. He brought me a 1994 Score last week, I was like, surely I have this, nope. If I didn't know any better, he was looking on my TCDB but as far as I know, he's not very computer savy.

Sluggo gave me these 2 cards of the runner up to the Cy Young award last year. The top one is the Royal Blue version, the bottom is last years Heritage. He gave me a bunch of Heritage that I didn't have that you'll see in later posts.

I mentioned before that I picked up some autos and relics at my LCS in his $3 or 4 for $10 box. That's where this came from. I have 3 auto's of Cease but this is my first relic. The pseuco-1988 Donruss was one of those thick cards.

These 4 cards give me 80 of Dylan, whom I'm expecting great things from this year.

Too Much Verlander

Today, they're announcing the Cy Young winners and this guy was in the race, sorta. He did end up 2nd in voting behind Verlander but most people doubted he was going to overtake him, even when he was missing time with an injury.

I already told you how I got the 582 Montgomery's so I won't go into that but these were the only 2 I added. These 2 give me 76 of the future (hopefully) Cy Young Award winner.

1 of 5 studs this year

I've been sleepy this week so I've been slacking but I'm here now. For now!

Today's post is one of our starters who when it comes down to it, is the main reason we are still in 1st place. Our offense is up and down but that has a lot to do with keeping healthy players in the lineup, but our pitching staff has been great.

There's going to be a lot of cards with not much commentary because I'm getting ready to head off to bed.

As you should know, I picked up earlier cards of his in a previous post. Here, we'll start with 1 card from 2017.

It's a good thing I don't pay much for these cards since they all look the same. These are all the 2018's of Lucas.

More of the same with the 2019 but at least there's some Panini/Donruss in this mix. I do like the Carolina Blue parallel, maybe just because I don't see those often.

2020 comes with horizontals and a whole Topps section with no parallels of the same cards.

I even got some 2021's. The purple parallel has, I assume, a nickname making it a double parallel (is that a thing?) I didn't even know that was his nickname. It's nice to see some Sox on the leaders cards. Lucas wasn't the only one that year.
