COMC Shuffle #6

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

1962 Topps Mars Attacks! #4
*First thought that comes to mind when looking at this card*

My brain:
Don't say it.
Don't say it.
Don't say it.
Don't say it.
Don't say it.
Don't say it.
Don't say it.
Don't say it.
Don't say it.

Me:

2014-15 Panini Prizm Gold Prizms #152
People always knock Panini, but any company that still makes cards of Swen Nater is okay in my book. Oh, and this card is numbered to /10, that's all!

1997-98 Fleer Ultra Platinum Medallion #62P
Even though they're numbered to /100, these Platinum Medallions were a very tough get back in the 90's. Even though I own a couple from this particular set now, it still feels sort of surreal each time that I'm able to get one.

1961 Topps #296 (x2)
I saw a thing on the Twitter (I think) last year about 1961 Topps, it was a poll of some sort for most popular card (or image?) in the set, and if memory serves (scary thought), Wes here ended up being in the top 5 -- if this poll actually happened (I'm pretty sure that it did though), it's not hard to see why this one would be so popular.

1975-76 Topps #80
Hondo's gettin' fresh... hopefully he bought Elvin dinner first :)

2017 Topps National Convention Bowman Chrome Prism Refractor #BNR-KGJ
I've mentioned many times in the past that I don't buy a lot of cards during the Black Friday sale, mostly because of all the sales that aren't actually sales, so much as they are prices that have been hiked up, and then put on sale with prices that are higher than they were before the sale started (COMC doesn't care about all of the people that do this) -- that being said, I did get a few cards during the last Black Friday sale, this shiny Junior being one of them.

1999 Pacific Revolution Thorn in the Side #3
You could put an eye out with this card!

1999-00 Topps Finest Leading Indicators #L5
I'm not going to lie, it's awfully tempting to wanna remove the "protective mask", and touch those circles!

2014 Panini Prizm Blue Prizms #12
I'm pretty fond of the purple prizmed Vikings that I showed a while back, but this blue Eric Dickerson is right up there too amongst my favorites from the 2014 set... I really need a few more copies though.

2012 Topps Chrome Refractor #100 (x8)
Around September of last year, there were nine of these Ichiro refractors on COMC, over the next two months or so, I bought eight of those nine. The ninth card had a punky corner and wasn't priced accordingly, it was purchased by someone during the Black Friday sale, none have been added to the site since.

It seems like the unofficial theme of this week's Shuffle was "old and shiny"... could be worse!


Thanks for taking a moment to look at my page.
