Two More Off the Want List

Do I need to change my Big Ten Wantlist from 11 items to 12 before next fall? I think I might.

Big Box o' Goodies included two off the wantlist. I've got a lot of card inventory to take but I hope to have the list fully replenished before the release of 2011 Topps S1. As for the money cards:

#4: 2009 Goudey #204 Jack Morris (SP)--This completes my 2009 Goudey Set!



#5: 1983 Topps #666 Sparky Anderson--When Sparky died I was shocked and saddened that I didn't have this card. It was the only Sparky card I was missing, I believe.



And with that, I can cross two more off the list, and I'm pretty sure that a third is on the way. Woo!

Chopping Down the Wantlist

I took advantage of the Thanksgiving deal over at COMC to knock a few cards off my wantlist. Actually, because shipping was so cheap (instead of the pretty expensive and quick to add up that it usually is) I filled out some other wants & needs as well, but that's for another time.

For now, 36.36% of my wantlist has been trimmed down including:

#3 on my list, part of the Home Run Derby contest inserts that Topps used to run

2008 Topps Gary Sheffield Home Run Derby Contest (#/999)

#5: A fantastic Heritage SP

2009 Topps Heritage #461 Tigers Coaches

#8: The last base card I need from 2010 Topps (which may just happen to be the worst card in the whole set. I mean seriously, look at that picture.)

2010 Topps Update US-24 Miguel Cabrera/Vlad Guerrero

#10: The last base card I needed from 2010 Topps T-206

2010 Topps T-206 #165 Ty Cobb

And with that, I have some serious thinking to do about how to replace these on my list. Fortunately, I've been inundated with cards lately (since when was being inundated with something good?), which means that more holes have been filled and I'm sitting on a bunch of sets where I'm just a couple cards from completion. My guess is those will be making the list--I'm looking at you 2010 Topps Gold Ryan Perry.

As always, I tend to put cards on here that are low-end, easy to find types. Just in case somebody out there happens to be flipping through their piles of cards, trips upon something on the list and feels like sending a little care package my way...
