For some reason, a lot of rare Lin cards have been popping up. Maybe people are thinking he is not going to be a star, which I never expected him to be, so they are unloading their cards. No clue, but I am reaping the benefits.
This is the Father's Day Powder Blue parallel from Topps. Not many of those Topps parallels are left for me to get. I think there is the Purple parallel, Vintage Stock and of course the Platinum one. I would not think the Purple and the Vintage Stock would be that tough to find, but here we are. The Platinum is a 1/1, so that one will be difficult. I still have the printing plates to go as well, but putting together the Mother's Day, Father's Day and Memorial Day cards is pretty exciting.
The purples were Toys R Us exclusives and, as far as I know, were never released. The set came out around the time TRU filed for bankruptcy. Truth be told I'm not even sure if Topps ever made them.
ReplyDeleteWell, that would be disappointing.
