those three little words really make my day

i'm not referring to those three words, although they certainly fit the bill. "you've got mail" certainly applies, as this post shows off some cards that i received recently from brian at highly subjective completely aribitrary. however, i am thinking of three other words. let's take a look...

here's a 1969 walt alston card

and a 1965 bob miller card

and their backs

you might have noticed from the card backs that i'm talking about these three words:

"printed in canada" typically equates to o-pee-chee and that is exactly what the two cards above are!

equally as cool is this 2005 topps pristine need:

orel hershiser never looked so cool.

the dodgers have a strong history of developing guys named clayton from texas, and i am hoping that becomes a trend with this guy in the pipeline

i think that 2021 bowman chrome refractor of clayton beeter (who hails from fort worth) is my first card of the dodgers' 2nd round pick in the 2020 draft.

here are a couple of cody bellinger highlights from 2021 topps

and the gold label mookie betts insert from 2021 topps update.

all were easily identifiable and needs!

the one card that made me tilt my head was this one:

i was not familiar with the topps future stars club, but a quick check of comc let me know that this is a thing and more digging revealed that it's one of topps' online membership offerings. the backs are pretty generic to the theme of the month: 

although the cartoon question (not the image) is different for each player featured.

thanks brian! always appreciate the cards you send!
