I'm sticking with eBay to try and track down the various Barry Larkin parallels from this year's throwback Chrome set (which is based on the 1989 Topps design). I recently acquired the Blue parallel which happens to be numbered out of 150 copies:
I think these parallels will look great in a binder page once I'm able to track them all down. Of course, the odds of me actually completing the full run of parallels is slim-to-none but at least I'm one card closer today!
With the Blue Chrome Foil now in hand, I officially own eight different Barry Larkin cards from 2024 Topps! Kind of crazy how many different cards he has considering he isn't even a current player. Also, it kind of makes you wonder why someone (i.e. me) would ever choose to be a player collector. I guess the thrill is in the chase, even if you know deep down you'll never actually get all the cards out there?
That is a very nice looking card!
ReplyDeleteAs much as I find having parallels of these inserts to be a tad bit silly... I've gotta admit tracking down nine different colors is going to make one really cool 9-pocket page.
