Crawling toward 800

My Tino collection is slowing way down lately. I haven't lost enthusiasm. It's quite the opposite.

I'm just rarely finding ones I need.

It still surprises me that there are base cards I need, but those are becoming fewer and fewer. In my last COMC order, I did snag a couple.

These two are from Pacific Invincible. The first is 1998 Pacific Invincible Gems of the Diamond. I definitely just bought the cheapest one on COMC and did not notice that it was off-center. I'm not a condition stickler, but it annoyed me that I didn't take a closer look.

Returning to Pacific Invincible for 1999, here's a base card I didn't own. The area behind Tino's head is transparent, which is kind of cool.

Lastly, I was missing this 2000 Topps Stars base card. Johnny recently sent me the metallic blue, and it made me realize I didn't even have the base.

With these three cards, I'm now at 789 Tinos. I'm getting there!
