1994 Flair Wave of the Future 2 Insert #8 out 10 Alex Rodriguez I have 2 of these they were also in the back to back packs I mentioned up above funny thing is the other cards in the packs were completly different which was a surprise for me when I made the set I thought I would have duplication right away but no only the 2 Alex Rodriguez cards were.

2000 Topps Traded #T40 Miguel Cabrera RC I have 2 1 I got for the set the PC came in a chance of a lifetime finding it in a quarter box at a flea market back in 2015 I couldn't pass it up somehow someone must thought it was a reprint.

2001 Topps Traded #T247 Albert Pujols RC back in 2001 I was on my way to an auction at a card shop I convinced my mother to stop at Walmart to see if they had any of the blasters or packs of the Update for sale just my luck I found 2 Blasters available pulled the Pujols in each of the boxes 1 for the set the other PC.
2001 Topps Traded Chrome #T99 Albert Pujols/Ichiro Suzuki 2001 Topps Rookies of the Year in those packs I mentioned I bought up above I was lucky to pull this cause they were 2 chrome cards per pack cause in the same pack I pulled not only that chrome in 1 pack keep reading I hit the ultimate pack hit.

2002 Donruss Originals Embossed Cal Ripken Jr. 1984 Donruss #106 Print Run of 7. I pulled this card out of a hobby pack if you asked me it was Donruss's answer to a buyback type card & even has word Originals stamped on it I was surprised that Donruss would do something like that.
2007 Topps #40A. Derek Jeter w/President George W. Bush & Mickey Mantle I have 2 copies I was lucky to pull 2 versions of this iconic card from a couple of blaster boxes back in 2007 & I figured it would be a cool card to have more in my 2007 Topps set.
2007 Topps #630A Daisuke Matsuzaka RC English I have 2 copies of this card 1 for my PC the other for my PC the reason I have it is to remind myself don't believe in hype on some RCs pulled the 2 copies from a couple Target Boxes back in 2007

2007 Topps #630C Daisuke Matsuzaka RC Japanese front No Facsimile Autograph on front. It came in a Series II Rack Pack which surprised me somewhat cause I thought I had a dupe from the card previously mentioned then I looked closer there wasn't a signature which had me rush to check the TCDB on if I got all 3 & sure enough I have all 3 Varations.
2008 Topps #234A Boston Red Sox Post Season Highlights w/Rudy Giuliani celebrating w/team I have 2 copies much like the 2007 Jeter I figured it be another cool card for the set.
2008 Topps Traded #UH240 Clayton Kershaw RC I have 2 copies of this card I ran across my 2nd copy on accident I was looking for some singles for a friend making the update set lucky for me I had an extra copy & they already had the Kershaw for their set.
2010 Bowman Platinum #PP5 Mike Trout I went crazy when it came to finding these blasters when they were reduced sure I bought a couple when they weren't but I was surprised when I went through my doubles I had an extra Trout after seeing what his 2011 card went I said without a doubt its headed to PC as well.
2011 Topps Traded #US175 Mike Trout RC I have 3 copies of this card 2 in set form 1 in the PC I used to have 5 of them but traded 2 to 2 different set builders that needed the Trout back in 2011 so they were wondering if was a SP or not to me the SP version is the Sparkles one I need for my set.
2012 Topps #660A Yu Darvish RC I have 5 copies of the card 4 are in set form 1 for the PC I made 4 sets from that year cause others were making orders for me to make the set unfornunately the deals went dead & I was left stranded with 3 sets I didn't mind making extra of.
2012 Topps Chrome #151A Yu Darvish I have 2 copies 1 for the set 1 the PC when I got this card along with the next card mentioned on black Friday in 2012 along with the final 3 cards I needed for my 1975 Topps Mini set which were Pete Rose,Robin Yount RC, & George Brett total cost for the 5 was $200 later on that same day I had my first accident in my car after sneezing at a light accidently bumping the car in front of me causing damage to my vehicle more then the person whom I hit who got a scratch on their bumper needless to say I got the ticket & had to pay the damages for the next year to my parents insurance company.
2012 Topps Chrome #196A Bryce Harper RC he just won the Rookie of the Year so I figured I would pay 3 figures for it when I didn't as you read in the description above I have 2 copies as also mentioned.
2017 Topps #287A Aaron Judge RC I have 2 copies usually when I open products that I might be intrested in Ill keep my doubles for others who might make the same set just in case for trade & as fate had it I got the 2 Judges that way.
2018 Topps #700A Shohei Ohtani RC 2 copies for the set & of course for the PC
2018 Topps Opening Day #200 Shohei Ohtani RC 2 copies I bought 1 hobby box pulled 2 right away in my 2nd pull of his I pulled the next card to be featured.
2018 Topps Opening Day #200 Blue Foil Shohei Ohtani RC It was my insert from the pack that held my PC version of the regular card since the first 1 of course went to the set. Being a long time reader & collector of the Beckett Monthly Magazines I remember that RCs couldn't be labeled as an insert I remember reading that back in 1987 man how times changed eh!!!
2018 Topps Archives #50A Shohei Ohtani RC Now as most of you know I am a set builder so basically when I pulled the second copy I usually have a rule keep the double in case someone might need it but if after a couple of years there's no one requesting for that particular card in a trade then if I decide its PC worthy then Ill put it in my PC.
2018 Topps Archives Insert 1981 Topps Future Star Trios Shohei Ohtani/Parker Bridwell/Troy Scribner RC as I mentioned before how things have changed where an Insert is now considered in the ways of being a RC I guess Ill have to do a little investigating next summer when I go back to the National to ask Beckett why are inserts now RCs what gives I like to hear your thoughts on it as well so I can share your comments to them. I have 2 copies.
With 6 things left to reveal in this box I just want to still thank you my readers for allowing me to share what I got I have had people say I should open my own shop cause of all the stuff I have & recently I had the honor of having Mr. Night Owl saying that we both started around the same time well not bad for a kid who started to collect cards at the age of 3 years old yeah for those curious it was in 1978. Now the next 8 Items are Printing Plates that I have gotten & each time I pulled one I been wondering if I ever would get all 4 of them to recreate that iconic card believe me if I ever got 4 plates of the same card I would definitely have 5 piece card of that particular card & most likely it would be featured in a post on my blog but I also would feel bad for the team collectors that would want it for their collections as well anyone who might be collecting that individual player. Now with that brief break is mention lets continue with these last 6 printing plates I have. Oh before I forget any of these plates are NFT unless you have a Plate from the same set & would like to offer me your plate of your player for mine cause you like to add my plate to your PC.
2004 Fleer Classic Clippings Magenta #28 Vernon Wells Jr. Not many people remember that his father is a famous sports artist that was featured in Upper Deck Products when they first came out. I like to hear how many of you knew about that fact before I mentioned it.
2005 Donruss Champions Black #334 Brian Giles
2011 Topps Series II Black #379 Ben Francisco
2012 Topps Traded Yellow #US13 Matt Lindstrom
2020 Topps Series II #667 Adam Haseley what can I say about this one it came the same day that I pulled the Judge Autograph which I talked about in a previous post as well the 2 mascots that my girlfriend pulled I was pretty bored that night when we opened all those packs while we took in an X-Files DVD binge marathon.
Well that concludes Box 1 of the PC I look forward to hearing how this last row might have some comments. Stay tuned as I get box #2 ready for its run thanks for reading & remember that it was Rogers Hornsby saying about signing autographs for little kids "Any Ballplayer who doesn't sign autographs for little kids ain't an American, He's a Communist."
