It's Been a Wong Week

Some people may have noticed I have not posted for a few days.  Things have picked up at work.  One of my cases has made national news, which I am avoiding.  And another case is headed for trial next month.  So, for a little while, I may just be doing mail posts.  For now, it is time to show off the next batch of Connor Wong cards.

Panini Immaculate Rookie Reserve.  This is kind of a nice double patch card.  And each patch is somewhat interesting as well.  Figuring out what the Panini Immaculate cards are has been somewhat difficult.  It took me awhile to figure out what this was.

Panini Prizm Gold Donut Circles.  This card is serial-numbered to just ten.

Donruss Optic Rated Rookie Signatures Blue.  I bought a card recently that was supposed to be this one, but ended up being a duplicate of another card, which was not clear from the picture or text of the auction.  So, I had to grab this one.

Panini Mosaic Rookie Autographs Holo.  

Panini Prizm Rookie Autographs Red Donut Circles.

Panini Chronicles Contenders Optic Neon Orange.  If I had to pick a card set to try to get the entire rainbow, this would be on the list.  I still need seven cards though, including two 1/1s.

Panini Mosaic Red.

Panini Prizm Blue Wave Prizm.

Panini Diamond Kings Green Frame.  This would be another candidate to get the full rainbow.  The 1/1s would be the problem here too.

Panini Immaculate Jumbo Jackets Team Logo.  Coming all the way from Australia is this jacket patch, which is a huge relic.  Clearly this is part of the X in the team name.

Stadium Club Black and White.  This is another card I had to buy twice.  One seller sent me the Sepia parallel, which I already had.  This was hard to track down again.

Panini Immaculate Black Fielding Glove.  This is my third variation of this card.  I also have the button and socks cards.  What is strange is that all three of them are serial-numbered 8/10.  I have no idea how that happened.

Topps 1st Edition Orange.

Panini Chronicles Contenders Rookie Autograph Cracked Ice.  I have mentioned before that I don't love the photo on these cards, but I do really like this one.

Panini Diamond Kings DK Signature Materials Gold.  This card was unfortunately damaged in transit in a way that would have been extremely easy to prevent.  Not sure what remedy I am going to get on it yet.

Finest Autographs Red Refractor.  This is one of the bigger cards I have yet acquired.  It gets me tantalizingly close to the Finest Autograph rainbow and knocks off one of the harder to find cards.  I still need the Gold, Orange Wave (which I should have coming), Red Wave, and of course, the Super.

Topps Gallery Rookie Autographs.  In a rare twist, Connor Wong was not the first player in my Red Sox collection from this Rookie Autograph set.  I had Kutter Crawford from a previous deal.

Topps Chrome Gold Refractor.

Panini Capstone Holo Silver.

Topps 1987 Chrome Green.  I forgot that I did not have this card already.  

So that's it for today.  Bizarrely, with these additions to my collection, Connor Wong is the largest current player in my collection and is more than players like Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts.  That seems crazy.
