Hall of Fame and Hall of ... Mirrors?

 OK, I didn't have a good way to tie these cards together with a nice title, but I tried.  But I am giving them away!!

First up is a strange card of recent Hall of Fame inductee Andruw Jones.  This is from 2023 leaf Vivid, which I had never heard of before.

So Leaf Vivid is an extremely strange product.  A 'Box' contains one 'Pack'.  So, no real difference between the two terms, I guess.  Each pack contains 7 cards, 5 of them autographs!  That leaves the other 2 cards to be base cards, or possibly an insert.  The Jones is a Base Card.

ALL of the base cards are numbered out of 10 or less!  The Jones is /10:
So yeah, I figure that giving away a low #'d card of one of the newest HOFers was a fun plan.  I did pick up a few more base cards from this set I will show off soon.



And the second card up for grabs, take a look:
Not impressed?  Neither was I, but the photo grabbed my attention as I was flipping through a quarter box, so I grabbed it.  Turns out it is a Mirrored Image Variation out of 2025 Topps Series 2, which seem to be quite popular.  And while I like the colors on this card, and I like most anything 'rare', I figure someone else might get more enjoyment out of it than me.  Just don't turn around and put it on Ebay, I could have done that myself.

So there they are, 2 cards up for grab to the first commenter on each.  One card to a commenter, you can't have both.  And be warned, even though they are 'rare', they are still going out PWE, because I am cheap!

Comment away!

  3. Ooh, I'd be happy to add that variation to my Hunter Renfroe PC if it's still unclaimed, thanks!

  4. Gotta love products where the base cards are harder to pull than the autographs. I wonder if there are any collectors out there trying to put together that base set.

  5. Wow, so Vivid has no logos, no stats, and no write-up?
