More Shiny Goodies from eBay!

Earlier this week, I showed off a number of new Barry Larkin parallels from the 2023 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary set.  Today, I'm back with another batch of Larkin cards from the same set, all from a variety of eBay sellers.

Last time I started with the rarest parallel, so I guess we'll make a full circle and begin with the most common version and work our way to the rarest of this batch.  

Easily the most common parallel in the set, the simple, understated Refractor is still a nice looking card!  No serial numbering, no fancy colors, just good, old-fashioned shininess!  

The other three cards that arrived this week are all of the serially-numbered variety starting with this Platinum Toile Cream/Fuchsia Lava Refractor #/100:

This is a good looking card, especially with the Reds' colors!  Nice to get one of the #/100 cards acquired, though I'm even happier to get the next two (even rarer) cards into my collection.

The next card that I grabbed was this Green Wave Refractor #/99 (which is technically rarer than the previous card that was numbered out of 100 copies).

I have to say, the Wave Refractors look really good this year (remember that although this is labeled as a 2023 set, it was released a few weeks ago in 2024)!

Finally, we'll end with this beauty:

That's a Rose-Gold Refractor numbered out of only 75 copies.  It's such a classy looking parallel, I kind of love the muted reds of the Rose-Gold border - and again, this one looks great with the Reds' uniform colors.

All told, a successful mail week - and a nice start to the 2023 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary collection of Barry Larkin cards.  From what I can tell, the 2023 set has the following Barry Larkin cards that I hope to eventually acquire

Obviously, I have a long ways to go (though I will note that I do have the Larkin's regular base card incoming so that will bring me down to needing "only" 22 cards from the set).  Of course, if by chance you have a Barry Larkin card that I could use from this set, please reach out to me as I'd love to work out some sort of trade (or purchase).
