Mail Day 12/30/2022

Only got one card in today which sent me down the rabbit hole trying to sort out one of these confusing sets.

This is a 2018 Topps High Tek Orange Orbit Diffractor. It's hard to tell but it is serial numbered 25/25 in the bottom right hand corner. 

Thank goodness for the Trading Card Database (www.tcdb.com) as I was able to figure out the difference between most of the cards I have. I don't even have all the base patterns. I was missing #1 and #3. I have a Black Orbit Diffractor (15/50), and a Blue Rainbow Foil (139/150). I thought I had three Green Rainbow Foils, but found out that two of them were actually Green Magma Diffractors because of the backs of the cards. It didn't help that all of them were numbered to 99. Such a confusing set!

Mail Day 12/29/22

Picked up some cool items today. The first is a serial numbered 2004 Donruss World Series Blue Holofoil (074/100). When adding to my inventory I found out that I also have #075/100! Back to back!

Next up is something I didn't even know I needed. I saw it all the time on eBay and was sure I had it, but when I looked it wasn't there. It is a 1989 Master Bread disk:

No idea how I missed that one. It wasn't even on my wantlist which really confused me.

*Edit* Yeah I had it. Oh well now I have two.

Wade Boggs 1983 Inventory

 These are the cards and other items I have from Boggs' rookie year (1983). There's a lot of stamps and stickers, but really only three rookie cards. The rest I guess would fall into the "oddball" category.

Boggs Minor League Cards

 There is only one real "official" minor league card of Wade Boggs and it is from the 1981 TCMA Pawtucket Red sox minor league set. It looks like this:

 Man it's been a minute since I have done any of this. I was documenting all my new cards coming in, but then I switched my blog over to this one and it all fell by the wayside. Oh well, new year coming up so new enthusiasm about getting this done.

I've only got one new card for my collection in the mail today so this is going to be a short one:

This is a 2022 Topps Chrome Update Diamond Gems insert. Nothing great but it was a new one I didn't have.
