Odd to say the least that Kris Bryant cards were essentially in the dime box, but who am I to argue? The real question though is if anyone knows who is pictured on the JP Crawford card? I've watched JP since he was a freshman in High School and he bats left-handed and sports lots of tattoos. The batter in this card is a righty who is inkless. Any ideas?

Another Topps Wrapper Redemption, these are nice looking cards in person. Would probably be nicer if I didn't drop them on the ground dinging the top left corner on most of them. Oh well, these things happen.

'98 Donruss Preferred Title Waves Scott Rolen 2 /1997
This Rolen is probably my favorite card from the show. It's a 90's numbered insert, when something numbered to 1997 was considered low. But the card features everything that made the 90's maddening. A needless sub-brand (Donruss Preferred anyone?) die-cut for careful handling in your penny sleeve, with a ridiculous insert name (Title Waves?) that has a holo effect. What more could you want?

'97 Ultra Platinum Medallion Albert Belle P46
To me, these were the best finds of the day. These Ultra Platinum Medallion's were impossible to find back in the day. I always liked this set as the Gold parallels featured a different photo than the base card. Sometimes it's not that hard to think outside the box and still make a quality product.

The dealer also had football and basketball cards, and I did pick up a few of those as well. When it was all said and done, I had 224 new cards for an Andrew Jackson. Not too bad if I do say so myself.
