So much better than team Phungo!
Zero dupes. Weird.
Though I did get two Schwellenbachs (base and what I figured out was Rainbow foil, not Holo) and two Tatis Jrs (Stars of and Titans of).

I would love to see a follow up on all the folks Sarah Vowell mentions in this 30 year old diary.
1995 was shortly after the death of Kurt Cobain and the year Jerry Garcia died.
Lots of R Limbaugh, Clinton, NPR & Church of the SubGenius, this American Life & Nirvanna

A little variety in photo selection would go a long way to improving flagship.
There are 19 cards on that picture, they all look like 19 random photos from the last decade.

It's partially dumb luck
Obviously the LCS had put packs from multiple boxes in the bin.
I typically pick from 2 different spots and should have just picked up back2back packs.
Regardless 2 packs should not have 50% overlap.

yeah my bad. it just felt like it timed out that way.
Well.
We signed them *before* Bryce was hurt. Casty to play left. Rhys on 1B
The need to shift Bryce to 1B, coupled w/ Casty's inability to replicate his 2021 w/ the Reds, has wrought havoc in a lot of different ways.

My university outsourced our bookstore to some new company, and they stopped carrying books written by faculty. A faculty member offered to donate copies of their book for the bookstore to sell, and they said it was against corporate policy

As Valentine's Day approaches, I have a confession.
I recently started watching "The Love Boat" from the beginning. I'd never seen a single episode before and I don't just like it, I love it.
This show has everything! 1/3

Phungo Challenge: How many Dupes came out of these two packs of 36 cards?
Numbers Taken so far are 15, 25 and 27.
Winner gets first choice on 3 of the Dupes.
Shocked that one of the Doubles was Not Casty.
Will close this at Noon on Friday.

Closing with the Retro Inserts and Rookie Cup Cards.
1991 Topps is solid so this is a nice retro - I wonder how many other 1991 cards Mantle is on.
Bit of RedSox hot pack, couple of inserts, the FS Khristian Campbell and Password.
That concludes our 2026T 2-Pack break. Dupe Stats tomorrow PM.

Each pack had a couple of what I assume are continuity inserts.
2 different styles but basically similar. one has baseballs the other has stars. kind of lazy kids.

one good thing about getting a boatload of dupes is you can feature a front & back in the same shot.
but these are a bit weak.
How does the Dodgers Team Card not have the words "World Series" on the b-side?
And what's with the Team Leader stats not having THE STAT?
