Mail Day Recap: Rockies Sepia

Yesterday’s Mailday brought me a long overdue envelope that I was getting ready to hand over to the Postal gremlin. They were mailed a week before Christmas by new TCDB user @PennsylvaniaTiger. And am I ever glad the cards made it!

In exchange for ten 2019 Topps Heritage duplicates, I was able to obtain these two 2020 Stadium Club Sepia parallels for my Rockies PC. The images really pop for me, especially while looking at them side by side. Both guys have their gloves in a position to field the ball, and they’re both focused on fielding it just a fraction of a second later. The Rodgers card is especially sharp, as there is no motion blur on the baseball. That photographer definitely knew what they were doing. Thank you for the trade Michael!

The pre-Christmas trades are slowly starting to trickle in. In addition to the cards above, I also received three more 2018 Topps cards from a Twitter friend, and three more 1982 Topps Cards from TCDB Trader @nkandy11. That last trade had a throw in card from 2017 Topps as protection, but it’s one that I didn’t have, so I’ll definitely take it. Thanks for the trades guys!

1982 Topps Set Progress: 40 / 792 cards (5.1% complete)

2017 Topps Set Progress: 17 / 700 cards (2.4% complete)

2018 Topps Set Progress: 645 / 700 cards (92.1% complete) - I’m so close!!

I have a couple of other cards to show off some time this week. I know this one was short, but that’s going to happen as I get into the flow. Until next time, stay safe.
