Wrapping up this portion of the shipment.
Let's knock one card off of my most-wanted list. This is my second Yuka Sato card, joining one from 2010 World of Sports. These were inserts in 09-10 flagship hockey, probably to add some variety around the time of the Winter Olympics. Sato and Jojo Starbuck (who can also be found in both releases), comprise the figure skating content in the collection.
Yup. It's that photo of Kahili Blundell again.
With this grouping, there are no real volume kings this time around. The closest is Tyler Adams with these 3. But, as a young player with a lot of cards available, there will be a lot of opportunities to add new cards. He's got 5, and with the soccer portion being so sparse (Edinson Cavani leads with 6), he'll likely take the lead shortly.
What cards are my favourites? The ones that add an uptick to two rows in the old spreadsheet at the same time. Most of those are football ones that include Drew Bledsoe in some manner. Here he's paired with Jim Kelly in a couple franchise history issues. Still, my favourite double-up is one that doesn't even count as one - the 1995 Collector's Choice card where Jeff Dellenbach snaps the ball to Drew.
Start with a Most Wanted drop-off, end with one as well. This SP'd insert features a manu-patch of a state that became such on February 14, 1912. Oregon is the other. I only want cards that salute the state itself in the collection, not its teams at any level.
My collection. My rules.
A. I'll have to check to see if I have a Yuka card in my Japanese athlete collection.
ReplyDeleteB. I really like the Civic Symbols patches. I have the California one. I'd love to add the Hawaii one to the collection, but it's one of the rare ones.
