I Don't Collect These...Do You Need 'Em?

Aloha, everybody, 

I recently sorted my extra cards and created trade stacks for this year's edition of Operation PWE. 

Yup, it's that time of year again, so if you're a past trading partner of mine, chances are you will be receiving a PWE (or humble-sized package) of cardboard for your collection. 

If we haven't traded before, that doesn't count you out - I simply don't know you're out there. Since last year numerous new card blogs have joined our community, and since ATBATT spent almost all summer being dormant, the newer blogs probably aren't familiar with me either. 

There's a simple way to remedy that, just get in touch and point me to your blog, or let me know you're a reader interested in trading, and we'll see if we can't get that ball rolling. There are plenty of teams and players I have cards of, who I don't yet have traders for. 

Now that's out of the way, let's get down to the business at hand. These things...

 
 I've got a few of these non-player cards that I don't collect, so I figure I'd post them up here and see if they can help someone who does chase these. 

Miiiiiiinnnnnnniiiiiiiissssss......
 

 Not minis...

I had a small thrill when I pulled this during the Olympics. They're in the past, so it's time for me to move on...
 

For a while I thought this was a Beatles card. I'm so not interested in the Beatles, I didn't even bother to look closely or flip the back to learn it's some Russian hockey players (Yudin, Yushkevich, Andryevski, and Kaminski)...

 Here come the real Beatles...

Not Richard....
 

Not Stephen Hawking, but he'll do...
 

I've got 'em, who wants 'em? 

Aloha! 

Random Target Repack Box - Part Two

Aloha, everybody, 

In my previous post we opened a repack box and explored the 50 cards that came with it. Tonight, we'll check out the four packs and mystery bonus to finish out the contents. 

Here are the four packs in all their unopened potential glory. Let's check out how I did. Leading off are the highlights from 2015 Topps...

This card has old friend, ex-Dodgers manager, Don Mattingly on it. Yay?
 
I guess it counts as a highlight, but only in the way that I hope Zippy Zappy will like it in his trade stack.  

This one is more like it...
 

That was it for two packs of Topps. How about the Gypsy Queen?

 A mini, of a guy I don't collect. On the other hand, it's one of those numbered minis, 038/250. Anybody want this? 

(Of course, per ATBATT's name and blog philosophy, every card pictured is offered for trade.) 

The last pack was the one I held out the most hope for, the Babe Ruth Story pack. I've never opened one before, and I dig Ruth cards, so I was hoping for some cool stuff. 

 I was not disappointed. 

Love this quote card...
 

All that remained was the bonus. I kept you all in the dark until the last, but the bonus was actually the first thing I saw when I opened the box. Although it was so small, it would've been easy to miss it...

 A teeny, tiny, tiny, teeny pitching figure. It's generic, without a number or a name.

ZZ, this is now going to be the "bonus" in your next trade package.

Aloha!
