Opening day flowers

This is how I celebrate Opening Day. Every year I send Cardinals Flowers to my wife’s at her school. I only send flowers on Opening Day. Valentine’s Day is a fake holiday. 😂😂😂
Opening day is Christmas for Baseball fans.

Happy Opening Day. 1971 Topps high number mail day. Last page that didn’t have a card. Going to my local card shop to pick up the rest of the 400’s I need tonight to celebrate the day.

Yes. The local card store owner is really cool. He will trade cards. Old school.

1971 Topps set update today. Won a 32 card lot for $21. 300’s and higher numbers. Needed 16 of the cards and switched out some of the rough ones from the set with cards from this lot.

Years ago it was so much easier. Congrats on the McGwire.

Congratulations on finishing your set. My local card shop has a 5,000 count box of 71’s that I’ve been going through recently. As soon as I get some of the lower numbers and commons complete I will send a list your way.
Thank you.

1971 Topps

Added five 1971 Topps today from the local card shop for $5. Trying to finish off the low numbers first.

1987 Topps

1987 Topps

Did you say Wood grain.
I recently picked this box up from a friend.

The Larkin rookie is an amazing rookie card. Along with Bo Jackson. It was such a cool set. The blue color was a first .

I can still remember opening those packs in 1987. Even then I was interested in completing the set. I have to find a box someday. Did you open the entire box?
