2019 Topps Series 1 150 Years of Baseball Rainbow

Another set of chase cards from the current year.  From top left: Red /10, Green Target hangar pack exclusive, Base, Platinum Parallel #1/1, Gold 150 Foil stamp parallel.


2018 Topps Series 2 Instant Impact Insert Rainbow

Real simple Topps Flagship insert, but the chase of getting the oddballs and low-numbered parallels of a current Topps release makes this really fun.  Finally just piked up the Gold parallel to complete the rainbow started last year (minus the 1 of 1). Front top left: Black /299, Blue, Base, Red /10 and Gold /50.

2019 Series 1 150 Years of Baseball Platinum Parallel

Some day soon I'll post up the whole rainbow of all the parallels of this release.  For now, just putting up one of my big "gets" in my collection history, that of getting a Topps Platinum parallel #1/1.  I've seen and heard about Platinum parallels for many years and like a lot of those cards, they seemed like a white ghost, something that you'll not only NEVER pull from a pack in your lifetime, but you'll probably never even SEE one.  Had the opportunity to grab this one on eBay.  The fact that it's a Series 1 "flagship" card of Fisk from a current issue is just the icing on the cake.  Love this card!

1992 Stadium Club Topps Vault 4 color mask negative

Yet another bad-ical 1 of 1 Topps Vault item.  This time a 4-color mask of 1992 Stadium Club.  Love it.


1986 Topps Super Topps Vault 4 Color Mask Negative

Well as cards go, this is about as boring as it could possibly get.  The 4-color mask of a dark color, probably black, means you don't get much here.  But it's an authentic Topps Vault piece of memorabilia.  So there.


1983 Topps Strip of 3 Uncut Cards from Topps Vault

Bit of catch up here at The Obsession, just toss off a few 1 of 1 rare treats on a Tuesday.  Grabbed this from the Topps Vault last year.  1983 was the peak of my childhood collecting so this is super cool to me.
