It's actually been hit or miss for me on this one. Every couple of years my wife has put a pack or two in the small baskets we fill for one another. But I knew that this year wouldn't stand a chance given the current situation at Target.
I haven't even been to Target in months, so I'm not sure what sort of policy mine currently has. But it's never been one to carry much inventory anyways, so I don't even bother. It's actually nice to not have any needs in life where I need to go to Target or Walmart.
But I don't need the Easter Bunny. I still have cards coming in, whether eBay purchases or excellent TCDB trades or other random mailings. For instance, right before the weekend, an unexpected PWE arrived from Napkin Doon himself, a guy perhaps even more mysterious than the Easter Bunny himself.
The PWE contained three very shiny cards, and excellent additions to my collection.
These Refractors are from 2010 Finest. I was not collecting then, so the design is new to me. I don't think I've come across any cards from this set before, so it's like seeing a brand new set for the very first time. You could have told me it was 2021 Finest and I would have believed you.
The other card joining these two:
Beautiful! 2020 Bowman Prospects Mojo Refractor (thanks to TCDB for helping me identify this card). I have a lot of Schmidts, but this is a new one. I wish the name "mojo" wasn't official, but it's ok. It's a good looking card.
So while the basket was filled with delicious treats, my cards came from elsewhere. And that's just fine with me!
Nothing better than candy and cards.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter AJ and family
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice Posada.
ReplyDelete"You could have told me it was 2021 Finest and I would have believed you." Same. It's a nice design with the big logo in the background.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter! The Bunny was able to put a hanger box of Series 1 in my eldest's basket and mine too. Too bad there were dups between the 2 boxes.
ReplyDeleteWow, a Finest design that I actually don't hate!
