The Blogger National 2024

 Sometimes it takes a Blogger Bat Around to get me to post!!  Unfortunately, I don't have much that is "National" worthy, but I did just get back from a pretty fun card show with what are, to me, some pretty great finds.  So I will use those for my National entry....

First up are these serial numbered cards of injured young stars.

The Julio is /2022 and the Acuna is /250.  These were $1 each, which I think is pretty great.

Next up is some football (sorry baseball fans) that was just too cheap to pass up.

These averaged less than $2 each, I got them in a stack so I can't say exact prices for each.

The Rodgers is probably the least expensive card here, but I like it a lot.  The Burrow RC seems to be one of his better ones, at least going by prices on COMC.  But the high price on COMC goes to the Herbert Immaculate, #/50.  It's up for $152.  Fat chance crazy seller!  But I was happy to get it for less than 2 bucks.

I would consider trading any of these football cards if the right offer came along....

Another nice find, this Kobe RC for under $2.  Not his best RC, but I couldn't pass it up.



And the scan that I am most excited about.


Each of these cards were $1.  The details:

I don't have many decent looking Trout parallels, so this was a no brainer

The Judge Neon is something I have never seen before.  I have been looking around to see how rare it is, but the only info I can find is that it is 'Ultra Rare'.  Anyone know much about them?  Best $1 of the day as far as I am concerned.

Witt is leading the league in batting average and having a great season.  I'm happy to have a nice prizm RC of his.

The Gold Tatis is also quite a find in a dollar box, as it is numbered /10!

Funky Guerrero #/99.  I have teased this before, but I am hopefully going to be offering a stack of baby Vlad for trade on the blog soon.  Let me know if you are interested!

And last, the Home Field Advantage card.  I like these a lot, and they are moderately rare.  At least I don't see them around much.  Mountcastle isn't amazing, but if he has a long career, this could be worth something.  

Thanks for reading and to Matt for starting this Bat Around!
