1 PWE. 2 new Tinos.

A few weeks back, Paul of Scribbled Ink was kind enough to shoot me a 4-card PWE.

The highlights for me were two Tino Martinez cards that were new to my collection. Cards like this show me while I'll always have Tino cards to collect. There were just so many of them made from 1996-1999. It's easy for ones to slip past without even knowing.

I would have definitely thought I had this Score Dugout Collection, and I'm right, I do. However, this is an Artist's Proof, which I definitely didn't have.
The next is from Donruss Collections, which is like a glossy, embossed version of regular Donruss/Pinnacle cards. But I needed this one too!
There were also two Aroldis Chapman cards, including this Panini that is numbered to 99. The refractor-like shine and pattern make it look great!
Thanks for thinking of me, Paul!

  1. Glad you needed them! I'll always keep an eye out for Tinos for you. One of my favorites growing up and a big reason I tried batting lefty and became a switch hitter.

  2. Like you I find trying to complete cards for my guys to be almost impossible. Especially as new cards or sets seem, still, to be being discovered from the 80s, 90s, etc. Ugh. Nice cards, though. Hi.

  3. I've never seen any cards from the two sets that those Tino's came from, both are quite attractive!

  4. That almost looks like Donruss went Dufex...

  5. I like how the Chapman card scanned. Looks like a disco party almost! Bye.

  6. I really dig the 2018 Chronicles. All of the sets (the fronts anyhow) look great especially for no logs.

  7. Nice Tinos! It always felt good when you pulled one of those Score Artist Proof parallels out of a pack.

  8. Sweet cards. That Donruss definitely looks to be using some Dufex technology
