More from Beckett

My last two beckett.com orders arrived in the mail today.  One was from Rookie Card Empire and the other from Burbank Sportscards, the world's largest card shop.  Here's what was in them.

2008-09 Bowman Chrome Refractors Pau Gasol.  For many years I collected Lakers Finest Refractors cards.  When they were discontinued, I tried to find other refractors sets to take their place.  Bowman Chrome Refractors fit the bill for a year or two.  In recent years it's been Panini Prizm Prizms.

2008-09 Bowman Chrome Refractors Shaquille O'Neal.  It's strange to see Shaq in a Suns uniform.  I believe this is Shaq's last refractor card from his playing years.  The trading card database is sketchy around these years, so it's hard to know for sure.

2005-06 Finest Refractors Shaquille O'Neal.  This photo is a classic Shaq turnaround and bank off the glass.

1954 Bowman Hoot Evers.  My collection of Red Sox team sets of the main brands has up until now been 1981 and forward.  But I'm taking that concept backwards now, meaning 1952-1955 Bowmans are in play.

1997 Fleer Roger Clemens.  I almost have the whole Red Sox team now.  I just need Nomar Garciaparra.  Anybody have it and want to trade?

1998 Upper Deck Nomar Garciaparra.  This was the last one.  The team set is now complete.

 

2006 Upper Deck Jonathan Papelbon.  These orders knocked three more of this team want list.  I still need four more.

2017 Bowman Prospects Rafael Devers.  I heard his last name starts with "deh" not "dee".  I'm really excited about his future with the Red Sox.  This team set is now complete.

 

2015 Score William Gay.  I love this photo!  This was the only football card in the bunch, but it wraps up 2015 from a Steelers standpoint.
