We’re back for the final three days of the Topps Holiday Advent Calendar. It's day number 22 - shoutout to Jordin Tootoo who wore number two-two .. but unforunately retired long before 2022.
It's another five-card pack, but this one is above standard:
Another Aaron Judge Nice List insert, and a Plaid Parallel of the James Wood RC. Not bad at all!
I got cards in the mail again today, though I was expecting these. One of my three Sportlots orders arrived and, well, .. I really wish I didn't have to buy singles on Sportlots anymore.
I'm still trying to fill out my Red Sox binders. 1980s team sets aren't quite complete, so I paid $1.60 for these eight cards:
And my 1970s Sox singles are really sparse, so I spent another $1.60 on two that were listed as "NM"
Ugh... nope. Not NM, not even close. I can accept vintage cards that aren't 50/50, but anything over 80/20 messes with my OCD. The '77 Doyle is centered well enough on the back but the front is no bueno. Koonce is 100/0 on both sides - and that one was $1.40.
One of my New Year's resolutions will be to trade on TCDB again - so that I don't pay actual money for poorly centered '70s-'80s singles - since vintagc cards are rarely sold at card shows anymore :/
Two more doors to go.
Thanks for reading!

You hit on one thing I appreciate about TCDb trading--not having to deal with Sportlots et al when it comes to some of those low-end singles. If you do come back to trading there I hope it goes well for you. Also, enjoy your final two advent packs!
