2019 Topps Triple Threads Onyx

Year: 2019
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: Triple Threads
Card Number: 30
Card Type: Base Parallel
Parallel Set: Onyx
Card Attribute: Serial Numbered
Serial Number: 26/50

Whew am I glad my COMC Black Friday haul posts are done.  I ended up picking up this great 2019 Triple Threads Onyx parallel from my LCS, Bosco's.  I can't remember if I had stopped by for one of their semi-regular card shows or if it was their monthly Trade Night, but the trading card manager Moe had sent me a message on Twitter with a nice selection Brewers cards he had picked up and set aside for me.  In the batch was this card, plus the base.  I've said it many times before but it's super rare that I find new Younts locally.  But it does happen from time to time and I love it.  It seems to me that over the last couple year's almost across all of the Topps brands that Topps has made their parallels more and more subtle.  If this wasn't serial numbered to 50 on the front you might pass this off as a base card.

Topps release both this high end product and Transcendent HOF on the same day.  Robin has a bunch of autos to find in this product.  I'll archive images as I find them.

2019 Topps Fire Lasting Legacies Blue Chip Parallel

Year: 2019
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: Fire
Card Number: LL-8
Card Type: Insert Parallel
Insert Set: Lasting Legacies
Parallel: Blue Chip

COMC Black Friday Card Haul #52

We're here finally, the last new Yount card I received from last years COMC Black Friday event.  
I wish I could I saved the best of for last, but all I've got is an insert parallel.  It's not a base insert parallel, but I did already feature it's relative the Gold Minted months ago.  Interestingly enough I have yet to pick up the base version of this card.  The Topps Fire set was a retail exclusive and the Gold Minted and Blue Chips were product specific parallels.  Meaning the Gold Minted were found exclusively in Blasters and these Blue Chips were found in fat packs.  Still a great card and one of many Yount/Yelich card pairings last year.  I'm sure there will be many more to come.

Well that's it.  I'm looking forward to COMCs next big even I think that happens next month.  The Spring Cleaning sale event should net a few more new Younts for the collection and I already have a bunch sitting in my portfolio over there.

Thanks for putting up with the COMC Black Friday Haul breakdown, only took me 4 months to work through all 52 new cards.

2005 Donruss Diamond Kings HOF Heroes HH-86

Year: 2005
Manufacturer: Donruss
Set: Diamond Kings
Card Number: HH-86
Card Type: Insert
Insert Set: HOF Heroes


COMC Black Friday Haul #51

I featured Robin's red bordered parallel of this card a few weeks ago.  I always find it interesting when I realize that I missed picking up a base card for year's.  To be fair I've had Robin's other card in this set for years, card #HH-61 with the color image.  I'm not sure why Donruss went and featured a bunch of players in the same set with this sepia or black and white version as well.  Most likely to add bulk to the set.  More cards you make the more you can sell.  And like his HH-61 there are plenty of parallels to chase.  Some as simple as the framed borders to auto-relics.

2019 Topps Allen and Ginter Mini

Year: 2019
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: Allen and Ginter
Card Number: 352
Card Type: Parallel
Parallel Set: Base Mini

COMC Black Friday Haul #50


I ended up picking up a bunch of Robin's 2019 Allen and Ginter cards last year, all of them already featured.  All that's left is Robin's base mini.  I still find Allen and Ginter to be one of my favorite Topps releases every year.  I wish I still had the disposable income to buy a couple boxes and put the set together like I use to do.  Am also glad that at least one set still has the tobacco sized minis.  Over the year's Robin has been featured in the Allen and Ginter set multiple times so it's always fun to chase down his parallel cards.

2004 Donruss Classics Legendary Jerseys (Non-relic) Insert

Year: 2004
Manufacture: Donruss
Set: Classics
Card Number: LJ-39
Card Type: Insert
Insert Set: Legendary Jerseys
Card Attributes: Serial Numbered
Serial Number: 221/500

COMC Black Friday Haul #49

Another Donruss set with a lot of inserts and insert parallels.  In the Donruss Classics product was the Legendary inserts.  These inserts were called things like Legendary Jackets, Legendary Jerseys, Legendary Leather...you get the picture.  Every set had a non-relic base cards.  That had a low serial numbered print run and then at least one relic parallel, sometime many, many more.  I've had a few of these for a while, but being low numbered they don't pop up that often and a lot of times people want way more than I'm willing to pay for them.  But then sometimes you get lucky.  As a matter of fact sometime really lucky as I picked this card up for just over a dollar, it's another one of those cards I didn't get during the Black Friday sales event, but rather a random pick up mid-year.  While I love the two big events the COMC has, the Spring Cleaning sale and Black Friday, I'm always on the hunt on the website.
