Just a quick post tonight. It's another Tier 2 collection with a bunch of cards. 

Those top 2 cards or oddballs are bigger than the average cards. I wish I would have thrown a regular sized card in the scan but I didn't think about it. That big head is one of those Heads Up.

Lots of oddball stuff. The '90 Topps there in the middle is actually an O-Pee-Chee.

These kinds of cards are always fun. A few cards that I hadn't seen before which is always cool. These 18 cards give me 276 cards of Mr. Abbott.

Today's post is a Michigan guy but I collected him before I collected Michigan guys.

This will be another picture heavy, word light post.

1992

1995

1996

1997-1999

2002-2005

2010-2013

2016-2020

All of the above came from a couple of different shipments of Sportlots. A whole lot of Jim going on up there. 62 cards to be exact, that is a nice boost to the collection.

I picked this up in a dime box at my LCS. I didn't even know Dairy Queen had cards. My son works there now, I told him that I was disappointed that he didn't tell me. It was released 12 years before he was born though so I had to let him off the hook.

Last but not least, this one came from Dennis of Too Many Verlanders way back in June, I'm in a little slow which is why there are so many cards on this post. It's listed on TCDB as a 1989 Stat Back, it doesn't really have a manufacturer listed anywhere but it says no major league record on the stats, on the back so it's pre-majors.

These 64 cards give me 257 cards of Jim.
