COMC Shuffle #18

Another week, another ten randomly selected cards from last year's COMC hoard!

1999-00 Topps Gallery Gallery of Heroes #GH10
Inserts don't get too much better than this! I keep hoping that someday I'll find more cards from this set at a show for some ridiculously low price, it might be a long wait though, as to date I've yet to ever see one at a show for any price.

I saw some random person on Twitter recently who said that KVH's NBA career was a disappointment... people on Twitter say some really dumb s***!

1961-62 Fleer #56
Mildly fun fact: I share a birthday with Johnny Kerr.

This scan is really bad, my apologies.

I don't know why exactly, but this seems to be Duke's most affordable base card? I would've thought that his last card might carry a bit of premium (it does for some other star players), but it doesn't, so if you're looking for a cheap Duke, and you don't care what uniform he's in, this is the one to look for.

Raymond Berry has been the "special" guest at the Nashville shows multiple times now. I'd kind like to get something signed in person by him, but his prices are a bit on the high side for me, oh well, at least I can say that I've seen him multiple times in person.

This is an insert set that I remember very vividly, hard to believe that it's been over twenty years since it came out.

After this last year's playoff run, I wonder if LaMarcus feeling blue over his decision to leave Portland?

I hate this photo, but green bordered Celtics are always cool, so...

One of these days I'm gonna have to suck it up and just buy the Honus that I need to complete this set. I don't really care about finishing it anymore, but it would be nice to be able to say that I did indeed complete one parallel set during my time as a card collector.

As an aside, after the shuffler got done doing it's thing this week, I noticed that the COMC folder was starting to look a little bare, so I went ahead and counted how many cards were left. Apparently I've got almost exactly 12 1/2 more posts worth of stuff in there, which means this series will be going dormant right around the middle of October, I guess I better start planning on what I'm going to replace them with, it's gonna be tough though as these have been my primary source of card material for the last couple of months, and I don't foresee a huge influx of incoming cards anytime soon, well, at least not until the end of the year when I have my current COMC stash shipped, but even that'll much smaller than those of previous years.


Thanks for taking a moment to look at my page.
