Bad Reviews

     I've referred to a friend before (named Bobby) who sold me an Evan Carter rookie card. Well, he did it again just over a week ago, this time a pair of cards costing only a dollar.



    I really like the designs of this card. Topps did well on their Holiday design for 2024, which is usually a design I kinda ignore because they look the same every year. They did a good job making it different and appealing.




      I had no idea what the right-hand card was, and a couple minutes of research led me to figure out that it's set is Topps Chrome Cosmic Stars in the Night (a bit of a mouth full). It's a great-looking card in hand with very good artwork. One of the corners is just slightly beaten up, but still a great deal in my eyes.

    The post is titled the way it is because the night after I got the cards, I emailed him and jokingly said that I wasn't satisfied with my purchase. 

    I don't particularly like ordering cards online, so it's nice to get a good deal on cards from a friend who knows what I like. For just a dollar, I'm more than happy to add these to my growing Evan Carter PC. Hopefully I can continue adding to it and make it pretty large (right now it's my third largest PC, and not that big, to be frank). Thanks for the cards Bobby! They are much appreciated.

    While I'm on the topic of Carter, I have all the marbles on a breakout 2025 campaign. I really hope this happens; we've seen what he can do and it would be a shame to see all that talent go down the drain. Also, the Rangers might be in a little bit of trouble regardless of whether we have a performing Carter or not, so they could use him if they want a chance at a playoff run. The seasons starts in March -- it isn't too far away. We'll just have to wait and see what becomes of him.

    Y'all have a great rest of the week, thank you for reading, and happy collecting!

  2. I hope he has a big year (for you). I don't really follow Rangers baseball... but I'm sure you'll keep me posted on this blog.

  3. I've got a pretty good Carter collection going too. I don't have that Cosmic Stars in the Night card though. Nice looking card.
