What a Difference the Inserts and Parallels Make


Today's chart looks a little different than the last one.
If you missed it, see my last post for all the details.

Adding inserts, subsets and parallels to the mix makes it a little more like what I expected, although I am still not happy with my Indian results.

The Yankees. You either love 'em or hate 'em.
But even though they are not the dominate team they once were, they were such a juggernaut back in Casey's days, they still get a lot of respect.

If you are a fan of Oakland, Milwaukee or the White Sox, then your luck really sucks ! Nothing but base cards for those three teams.

These are the Indian base cards I pulled with only one duplicate of Kipnis ( 2 base and 1 foil )

Martinez 1st HR, Feller highlight Kluber wins leader and Brantley 3rd in BA.
I didn't count Brantly as  an Indian card. I only counted the actual leader in my list.

Here are my extra leader cards.


Archetypes

First pitch 


Free Agent


Highlights 

Inspired play

Robbed

I am collecting this set.
I have these two.


This was my disappointment from the Target box.
I WILL contact Topps about a replacement. 
I tried to get the coin to slide over into position
but it wouldn't budge !

This one was centered much better.

The lone memorabilia card.

2 World Series cards

4 foil cards.

The three Babe Ruth cards I pulled are unique in that there is one Baltimore, one Red Sox and one Yankee card. I am going to save these.

Everything else is up for trade.
Plus. obviously,  I have a lot of base cards.

Next I am going to start posting  a new want list.

I have a "complete" Indians, 700 + page checklist I have been working my way through this winter.
My next project is to get all my needs and wants listed here !

  2. I had the same (bad) luck in terms of parallels and inserts for the Brewers myself.
