Two weeks ago when Topps released the 3 weekly cards to the set, I couldn't believe that Matt Boyd was included.
That's not because he's not a worthy player (of course he is), but it was a week that I left him off my list to win the Topps Living Stats contest over on Twitter.
That's happened to me a few times, including when I thought Topps would release a Willie McCovey card, which they did, but several weeks later.
Another surprise to followers of the TLS was that there still hasn't been a card of Ty Cobb or Al Kaline, two Hall of Fame Tigers players, so seeing a Boyd card was a surprise for sure.
I suspect that Boyd getting a card may have something to do with is missionary work in Uganda.
My goal to own one of every Matt Boyd card in a Detroit Tigers uniform is now one step closer to completion.
I'd also like to take time to thank Topps for getting my card to me pretty quickly after I placed my order.
You know the old saying, you can't get enough of a good thing....like a preview of an upcoming post on my latest card show finds.

Until next time, PLAY Ball! 🐯⚾️
Never heard of this contest. Lol. Guess I should explore Twitter more often. One of these days I'll break down and buy a TLS card. If and when I do... it'll probably be the Henderson or Gwynn (when the make a card for him).
ReplyDeleteBoth solid choices...and Rickey would approve.
DeleteI know next to nothing about the TLS cards, but it is kind of surprising to hear that they haven't done a Ty Cobb card yet, especially given how long they've now been around.
ReplyDeleteMany people are perplexed by that. It'll happen one day.
