I’m curious to see what you get. Do share. I looked at a break but the Braves cards in this set aren’t ones I’m after

I am WITH YOU on capping the numbers at 100! 499 in a set?? What even is the point?? They just make the frame part of the card a different color and put a number on it I guess so people can feel less bad about spending big bucks on a hobby box and only getting base cards? This way instead of thinking you wasted your money you can say “hey I got 6 numbered cards.” Never mind they were one 199, two 299s, and three 499s. Sheesh

Oh yeah! That’s so vibrant! Very cool looking card. Ripping doesn’t mean you even get a good card and this way you get what you want. Great choice!
-
Great haul with cards that look great too!
-
Pretty darn good for a hanger!! Some nice cards! You got more Braves than Rays which isn’t too very bad I guess
-
HOW do I not remember this!!??? But I don’t. Wow. I’m sure it was all over the sports pages. And TO played his college ball at UTC which is about 25 minutes from my house so I usually at least half kept up with him. Thanks for sharing. If that happened now there would be a melee at the center of the field!

That image is SO recognizable. Several generations would easily identify it. Great card!
-
The gold one I mean. Remind me of the lower one’s moment. I’m drawing a blank
-
OH wow! This card does a GREAT job of capturing that moment! Very cool that you have it!!
-
Now THAT’S a throwback, vintage look for a baseball card. Very classic!
-
These are cool cards. I’m not much of a fan of the sepia or B&W because I love bright colors but these cards somehow look better than those.
-
Definitely yes the Dodgers BIG spending and manipulating the rules has a lot of owners upset. They want a salary cap supposedly to help even the playing field.

I tend to agree. I think both management and players know how the strike in the 1990s really hurt attendance in the following years. They lost lots of fans. I’m trying to hold off a bit on buying baseball cards now because I want to see if they really go to lockout in December. The current deal expires on December 1st. But I honestly can’t guess whether a lockout would affect card values or not.

I think this is why people are guessing lockout but not full blown strike and lost season. MLB lost LOTS of fans with that strike. Lots! Your story is one of many many many who felt the same way. I remember the next season was when they started tossing a ball into the stands for fans after each inning. They used to be VERY stingy with the balls. It was hard as a fan to get one. But when they had such poor attendance after the strike they tried all kinds of things to win fans back.

I need to remind myself that for some people $40K is like 4 bucks for me. Depends on how much money you have. And one card selling for that might not matter much over time
