TCDB Monday: It's a Monster, Folks!

A COMC Order from June!

Back in June of this year, I received my cards from another COMC order.  I think I probably placed the actual order in May (or maybe April?) but obviously there wasn't a big rush since it's now August and I'm only now getting around to showing off some of the cards!

Anyhow, the bulk of the order was for a big chunk of what I was still missing from the 2024 Topps Series 1 Silver Pack Chrome set.  Of course, I have continued to trade for cards from the set so a few of what I ordered from COMC ended up being duplicates.  However, that's fine since hopefully I'll be able to use those cards as trade bait to help me complete the Series 2 Chrome set as well.  



Speaking of completing sets, the above batch of cards did fill in all of the remaining holes in my Series 1 Chrome set which is awesome!  Definitely happy to be able to strike that set from my want list - and now I can start focusing more narrowly on the Series 2 set.

In addition to the many shiny Chrome cards, I also picked up two other cards from my want list.  The first of those was this mini from the 2015 Allen & Ginter "A Healthy Body" insert set:


The Healthy Body (and Healthy Mind) inserts were tough to find which probably helps to explain why I'm still searching for many cards from the pair of ten-card sets nearly a decade later.  

The final card that I grabbed from my want list was a year older than the preceding mini card:  a 2014 Upper Deck Dinosaurs patch card of the Dire Wolf.



This is one of the super short printed patches that round out the 60-card patch set.  I've now acquired all but two cards from this particular set...so who knows, maybe within the next decade I'll finish this one off as well!

All told, a successful little purchase from COMC!  However, that wasn't all as I also grabbed some Barry Larkin cards that I needed but you'll have to wait for another day and another post to get a peek at those cards!

  1. Congratulations on getting that 2014 UD Dinosaur patch set down to two cards. That's super impressive with all of those different short print tiers.
