1983 Topps Sticker #81

Year: 1983
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: Stickers
Sticker Number: 81

Oh so shiny!!! I'm a sucker for oddballs, even ugly little stickers like this.  And while they are not my favorite baseball collectible I think the hobby is better for having them in it and I'm also glad that Topps still makes them.  You'll notice the sticker was made in Italy on the back.  And for those of you who know your trading card history a little company called Panini is from Italy.  And as luck would have it Panini made these stickers, under license from Topps.

1991 Panini Stickers #166

Year: 1991
Manufacturer: Panini
Set: Baseball Stickers
Card Number: 166
Card Type: Base Sticker

COMC Black Friday Haul #43

After the past few posts with those flashy parallels and serial numbers it's time to get back to basics.  Kids nowadays thing of Panini as this big time card company but a couple decades ago Panini was know primarily for their sticker sets.  I mean they still do stickers.  Anyway, last year I made an effort to try and fill a few holes in my collection by picking up as many Panini and Topps stickers as I could find for a decent price.  One of those missing was this 1991 #166.  Nothing flashy here, but a nice action shot, 1990 base stats and some good advice from Panini on the back.

1988 Panini Stickers #129

Year: 1988
Manufacture: Panini
Set: Album Stickers
Card Number: 129
Card Type: Base Sticker

COMC Black Friday Haul #12

Last year, sometime well before Black Friday, I had made a small push to find some of the 80's and 90's Panini Stickers I was missing.  Lucky for me COMC had quite a few for a good price and picked up a handful to add to the collection.  I'm not sure why, but I really like the overall look of these '88s.  Maybe it's the simplicity in the design, but we get a nice smiling head shot and sticker that has all the other requirements: player name, team name, and logo.  Bam.  Plus on the back Panini reminds us how to make collecting their stickers fun.

1989 Panini Stickers

Year: 1989
Manufacturer: Panini
Set: Baseball Stickers
Card Number: 337
Card Type: Base Sticker

For Topps' National Baseball Card Day I visited both my LCS's in the Anchorage area.  While at Don's I picked up some cheap autos and relics off his drop boards and he had a super shoebox full of miscellaneous baseball cards for $10 bucks.  It was hard to resist especially since I noticed a stack of 89 Panini stickers in the mix.  When I got home and started sorting out the cards I found that about a third of the box was 2012 Panini Triple Play and another third was 1990 Topps.  But doing a little digging there was some gold to be found.  In the box I was not only able to find one Yount card I needed, but two.  I'll feature the other card a little later.  One of my goals before COMC's next Black Friday sale is to have my sticker needs, both Panini and Topps, and try to bust them out.

But I can scratch off Robin's 1989 Panini Sticker from my list.  I consider this my barn find.  I was also lucky enough to pick up about half the Brewers team for the set.  I like the look of the sticker, simple nice team colors on the border and banners.

Fear not I plan on giving out baseball cards, as well as candy, for Halloween this year, and these will make great filler.

1990 Topps Sticker

Year: 1990
Manufacturer: Topps 
Set: Stickers
Card Number: 54
Card Type: Base

The 1990 Topps Sticker set is interesting, especially from a checklist stand point.  The base card which I consider the player superstar side with stats to be the primary player for the card.  Especially since he's the only player named on the card or sticker.  Then the back or front depends on how you look at the cards featured either one, or what was more common in the set, two smaller stickers, which were also numbered, but the players were not identified.  The two players also featured on the card are Mike LaValliere on sticker #133 and Greg Swindell on sticker 214.

1983 Topps Stickers #145 and 146

Year: 1983
Manufacturer: Topps
Set: Topps Stickers
Sticker Numbers: 145 and 146
Sticker Type: Base


Breaking my own rules featuring two stickers at once, but with a pair like this it has to be done.  I mean if I just featured sticker #146 we'd be looking at Robin's butt. 

Robin gets 5 stickers in the series. It doesn't hurt they went to the World Series the year before and Robin won his first MVP award.  Stickers 145 and 146 form a larger complete picture that was featured in the Record Breakers section of the '83 Sticker Album.  I've found some images of the pages below.








Here is a bonus page with Robins #150 sticker in place.
