I took advantage of my good friend Ryan's desire to clean up some of his collection recently when I bought a ton of Nolan Reimold cards off of him for my PC. I went through my haves list and compared it to a list Ryan had of what was available and came away with 47 cards that I needed for my PC.
Most of the cards are numbered parallel like the above 2012 Topps Factory Set Orange parallel. This card is numbered 172/190 and the orange parallels are so hard to find.
I can't believe I didn't have this sapphire parallel from 2013 Topps. This is numbered 15/25.
I also got a bunch of rookie and pre-rookie cards of Nolan. Here are four versions of his 2006 Bowman from the Futures Game. The blue is numbered 148/199, x-fractor is numbered 118/299 and the white paper is numbered 75/225. The refractor isn't numbered, but it was still needed in my collection.
Here are some versions of his 2009 Bowman Chrome RC that I needed. Blue is numbered 15/150, X-fractor is numbered 90/250 and gold is numbered 42/50.
I got a bunch of back variations like this 2013 Topps Heritage Venezuelan Black Back variation. I also got 10 different mini cards from Allen & Ginter and Topps 206 with varying backs.
I had never seen this 2012 Sega Card Gen card, so it was nice to add to the PC.
I got these two 2009 Topps Finest cards as well. These were redemption cards in the past that I had never jumped on. The left card is a refractor numbered 72/199 and the one on the right is the gold refractor numbered 4/50.
Finally, Ryan included a bunch of minor league cards of Nolan in the package. These are touch to find, but he had been working for a while on his Reimold PC. I know he hated to part with it, but he knew that I would take care of them all.
I really appreciated all of the rarities and parallels that were in the package. It wasn't cheap, but I was glad to get them from Ryan, and I was also glad to help out a friend. These Reimolds will be put into my PC and now I might be able to complete a rainbow or two. We'll have to see. In the meantime, check out Ryan's blog, O No Another Orioles Blog, and maybe talk him into posting more.
Thanks for the deal, Ryan, I really appreciate it!
