Surprise Christmas Cards from Too Many Verlanders!

Towards the end of 2024, I received a surprise Christmas mailing from Dennis over at Too Many Verlanders.  Dennis is one of the most generous bloggers out there and, as usual, he outdid himself this year by including me (and many others) in his surprise Christmas mailings.  

I was the lucky recipient of a pair of goodies including this unopened pack of 1993 Post Cereal cards featuring Barry Larkin on top.



I already had the Larkin Post card but I didn't have a copy sealed inside its original packaging!  This particular pack will now join a few other packs with Larkin showing through in my collection!

The other goodie that Dennis sent my way was this gorgeous Tony Perez relic from the 2011 Topps Lineage set:


This was the final mini relic that I needed for that set (I chased after each of the Reds in the set) which means I get to knock a set off of my want list already in 2025!  

Speaking of the Reds' portion of the relic set, here's a look at all six Reds included in the set:



That's a lovely-looking page of cards - and the Perez (along with the Bench) are clearly the two highlights of the bunch!

Many, many thanks to Dennis for the awesome cards (and Dennis, by the time you read this I should have a return mailer headed your way)!
