A couple things before I begin this post. I passed 500,000 page views yesterday. That's pretty significant, so I would like to thank you all, and all of the bots clicking on my blog and maybe giving it a read. I don't respond to all of the comments, but they are appreciated and I encourage you all to continue. Thank you so much!
Also, I dusted off my lucky 2005 Brian Roberts jersey for today's game. I figured there may still be some magic left in there after I called his walk off homer in the June 28, 2005 game. The Orioles need to win today to assure themselves of a playoff spot. An Orioles win and Jays and Tigers losses would give the Orioles the Wild Card game at home. I really hope they can win.
I still have tons of stuff to show off from the National. I believe I will be posting about the National up until Christmas. I lumped all of the Chris Davis PC pickups into this one post because I didn't really find too many cards of him that really stood out. Of course, there was the one Museum Collection quad that warranted its own post. These were just a few base and parallel cards I needed but hadn't pulled or picked up yet. I did find the Panini America's Pastime auto at the top of the page in a discount box for $5. It is an on-card auto and is numbered 18/75.
The above 2016 Topps Archives is nice, but I really want to find the Desert Shield parallel. I looked around the show while I was looking for the Cal, but didn't locate one.
I liked this year's Gypsy Queen. I wasn't sure I had Davis's base card, and I couldn't access my inventory list since my phone dropped dead at the show every day, so at a dime, I didn't mind picking this up.
Finally, 2016 Topps Chrome had just been released prior to the show, so I didn't have any of the Davis cards yet. I found a guy who had busted a case and took his Orioles for a cheap bulk price (that included the Joey Rickard auto I posted earlier). I was wondering a few days ago why I didn't have them listed in the inventory list. Now I know why; I hadn't posted them yet.
