30T30W - Week 10 Recap
My Favorite Team the Dodgers came at the perfect time with everyone’s final push for 24 hoards and crafts… NEW collecting RECORD (for this challenge) of 277 new Dodgers cards added to the PC this week!!! (Previous record was the Braves at 135). I won’t come anywhere close to beating this mainly because I don’t collect any team as heavily so not as willing to trade away so much. But what a week it was… so I’m gonna change it up and do a Top 10 instead of Top 5 cause just so many cards I was excited to get (and even just picking 10 is gonna be excruciating) … I could just do a Top 10 Kershaw Cards… but anyways, here we go!!!
10) 2017 Tribute Tommy Lasorda UC 1689cc - I got tons of cards with lower cc than this but I couldn’t represent Dodgers without putting at least one Tommy in the Top10… he’s got better cards out there but I didn’t target any specifically just got what I could as I came across them organically. Got some of his Godson’s cards as well (Piazza) but in a week like this even my Favorite catcher of all time didn’t make the cut.
9) 2020 Cyber Monday Bundle Mookie Betts UC 735cc - another uncommon makes the cut mainly because I had never seen this card when I came across it and really like it although 2020 is easily my least favorite year of BUNT. Traded a 21 Acuña Beat the Streak to get it. (So many bundle trades this week not gonna list what I traded for every one but this one I do specifically remember as a 1 for 1).
8) 2019 Now Video Will Smith RC Rare 532cc - 1st career HR a walk off… that’s what kids dreams are made of… glad to add this one to the PC.
7) 2015 25under25 Yasiel Puig Rare LE 400cc - another card I had never come across, Puig was definitely polarizing for fans and in the clubhouse, but I loved him… was a real shame his career faded into international play without much of a mention.
6) 2016 Stadium Relic Duke Snider Rare LE 400cc - it’s hard to know where you’re going if you don’t know where you’ve been , and while Chavez Ravine will always be the home I know, it’s nice to add this Ebbets Field card to the collection.
5) 2018 Darrin Pepe Rare LE 250cc Clayton Kershaw - honestly… so many great Kersh cards this week tough to limit it to 3, but this one stuck out as kinda unique and from someone clearly possessing a level of talent so many of us lack haha.
4) 2014 Nicknames Orel Hershiser Rare LE 500cc - This could easily be my favorite card of the week… I was so stoked to land this… I believe I gave up 4 low cc 2014 cards to get this, which hurt, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned, even when you collect as wide as I do, you gotta prioritize cards you really love, regardless what the numbers say.
3) 2016 Posters Kershaw Rare 171cc - I’m a big fan of the “road trip” set and collect these cards whenever I can… this one just happens to be of my favorite team and one of my favorite players and pretty rare. Another one that I can’t convince myself isn’t my number one favorite.
2) 2016 World Series Rings Hershiser Rare 384cc - I’ve had this card on my wish list since I joined BUNT in the 20-21 offseason. The 88 WS was especially impactful to me as the famous Gibson Walk Off came on my Birthday at a time when Baseball was just about my everything. It is still my most cherished sports memory I wasn’t a participant of. If anyone wants to share theirs in the comments I’d love to hear them.
1) 2015 Dual Sig Series Koufax / Kershaw Rare LE 500cc - Two of the Best Dodgers Pitchers of all time, no shade at Drysdale , Valenzuela, or Hersh but it doesn’t get much better than this for me.
Honorable Mentions - this could go on for a while but I’ll just say I got 3 Legendary’s (Will Smith Top100 Rainbow LE 42cc , Walker Aces LE 50cc , and hometown kid Austin Barnes Independence Day LE 76cc) along with a bunch of cool Iconics and Super Rares and not one of them made my Top 10. Also the ‘21 Scherzer SR VIP 91cc was a nice reminder of failed high profile Dodgers rentals.
And I think I’m gonna wrap it up with that… as always thanks for following along and for all the trades… and now on to another one of my least Fav teams… the divisional rival Giants. At least there’s Willie Mays , Will Clark and Matt Williams, and Posey to chase, kinda a shame Bonds isn’t on here… guess I’ll have to settle for some Jeff Kent’s haha … oh maybe there’s a Giants Karros card… I’ll have to look… anyways… Cheers
