cards made for this weekend

i was scrolling through my scanned folder last month and saw this card - technically the card back

it's a may 10th card!

actually, it's a 2017 topps archives snapshots gold parallel card featuring ron cey

and i am glad that the photo used finally made it to cardboard.

here's another card that is appropriate for this weeked

that's a 2016 topps dodgers team card mother's day pink parallel. it's numbered to 50 on the back:

i hope those who are able to celebrate their mothers this weekend do so.

and, since we are all day-to-day, i'll go ahead and share a father's day blue parallel card that i picked up recently, too. it's pedro baez and his 2019 topps card

i think i prefer the backsplash tile to the honeycomb design effects when it comes to these topps flagship designs, but i appreciate both of the patterned borders when it comes to these sorts of color parallels.

enjoy the weekend!

some things were not so different five years ago

after having a saved search for a couple of months, i purchased a 2019 topps dodgers factory team set to complete my run from 2006 - 2024 (no sets in 2021). after receiving it, i sort of recalled why i didn't bother picking it up in real time - the cards are all the same save for the logo placement on some of them. let's take a look anyway, shall we?

here's the back of clayton kershaw's card

with the changed numbering and set affiliation.

flagship is on the left, team set on the right.

some decent photo choices by topps, but i would have liked some variety between the two sets. i think i remember why i didn't bother with this set in 2019.

if you are interested, here's the running list of these posts. 2016 and 2018 are still partial set posts, and i doubt that i will ever go back and complete them. remember that there was no team set issued in 2021. otherwise, click and enjoy!
