Super quick post tonight...
If you caught one of my recent posts, you might remember that there was a decent table with most cards priced at 50 cents or lower. I picked up a bunch of Stadium Club parallels and some other nice cards. I left out of my post that I grabbed a number of Corbin Carroll RC's from Topps Holiday form that same table. They were all just sitting together, marked at 25 cents each and I grabbed them all without much thought.
Well as I was putting them away today, I noticed that one was different.... a variation!
Turns out this is the 'Rare' variation for Carroll, these were seeded one in 20 packs. Not bad for a quarter!
I can't say I am amazed with the effort Topps went to with these. The added graphics (in this case, lights around his neck) are a little hokey. But what do I expect from a Holiday set, I guess.
You found much better bargains at your show than I did at mine. Nice Corbin Carroll Christmas card!

ReplyDeleteHey, pretty good find for a quarter, though!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking card of a great young player! I opened a whole blaster of Topps Holiday and completely overlooked all the short prints the first two times sorting them.
ReplyDeleteVery nice find. My eyes are so bad... unless I know I need to be looking for a variation... I'll most likely miss it.
ReplyDeleteGreat find! Seller's loss is your gain!
ReplyDeleteVery easy to overlook the short prints in Holiday release! Good find!
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel any better, I would've skipped right by the card altogether had I been looking through the box that it was in.
